Not to mention the obvious issues with back balance and sleeve pitch.

Stripes on the second one do not look vertical either.

All, thank you for the comments!

Sorry, no pictures so far (and the natural light is already out today). I will try to make one tomorrow.

Again, sorry, but I don't know yet... I just unpacked the shirts and tried them. No obvious problems (to my untrained eye). But a slow thinker like me needs a few wearings to understand what feels better / worse in full.

*I* required? Actually, it is Leonardo who tortured me with fittings for death! As I recall, three in total.

First one (solid) is Alumo wool + cotton. Feels incredibly nice; we'll see in winter how well it acts. Second (striped) one is some italian mill (Bonfanti?) Third one is a Swiss mill. Forget the name. I choose it primarly because I have a shirt from a similar fabric (same maker, same type of cloth, different check) that Leonardo made me last time. I LOVED the cloth, and wanted another one of its ilk.

Me too. Here is the story: by default, Bugelli makes a BD collar with a PLENTY of roll. Too much for my tastes. So, I asked him to make one with less amount of roll. Which he did. But in reality, after unpacking, things are more plausible, both roll and tie-space wise: Andrey

Eustace Tilley, sorry for delay.

Just went to pick those up from my shirt-maker : Lorelli, Geneva. Cotton Fabric provided by Alumo. Excuse the wrinkles at the back of the neck, a question of cardboard not fitting properly. Adrian

Fabric can be obtained from any shop that carries the Alumo fabrics.

Beautiful. Thank you Andrey.

I only wear shirts that does that visual effect. Congrats!

By the way, how is that effect achieved? I only see it in neapolitan shirts.

I have that sort of effect on almost all my shirts. If I remember right it is a way to cut the cutaway in a slightly round way instead of straight.

Thank you Fritzl, that is one of my gimmicks. Lorelli uses two whole buttons since they exist, it's one of their trademarks. I like to have a four whole button at the top with a couloured thread that matches the most visible colour of the shirt and the monogram. I like the look when wearing the shirt with that last button open, adds some sprezzatura. Adrian
