http://www.styleforum.net/t/155471/riva-shirts Whnay: "I have a few cotton-linen shirts made out of Riva fabric - they are indeed spectacular. A lot more depth and texture than most other blends..." Artisan Fan: "Agreed, I have four of the cotton-linen Riva and they are sublime." Voxsartoria and Itsstillmatt: "Is there anything about the Riva cottons to make someone getting D. & J. Anderson/Allbini weep with regret? Yes." Mafoofan: "My favorites are the cotton twills--softer than others I've felt, and with really beautiful striations in color." All were made on 36" old, slow looms. Please ask your shirt maker about how much you may need but I use 3.5 yards at 5'9" 170lbs. $100/y Carlo Riva Lino Oxford 60C40L 2X2 (blue) Carlo Riva Lino Arsenal 60C40L 2X2 broadcloth (striped)
