    Questions about "luxury" shirting

    If you're wanting to see what all the fuss is about then go for it. Personally I've had very mixed results with the high counts, with some having a very 'papery' texture also avoid 'easycare/easyiron' as it tends to not hold a crease. Some of the best wearing cloth I've used for shirts has...

    It's not stock supported so you'd have to get it made.

    Didn't expect to see one of mine up here! Extra wide HB or houndstooth would be nice too.

    Well enough known, but not 'cool'. They also make uniform fabric and boating stripes. Where could I see the SIC Tess/Monti ranges online?

    Shirtmakers in Napoli

    If you want a good range of linen stripes, solids and patterns then Esposito, Via Renovella 16 is where you need to go. Its around the corner from Tessile Annunziata, Via Duomo 318, which has a good range of cottons. Both have Riva, but Thomas Mason doesn't have much of a presence in Italy, it...

    Shirtmakers in Napoli

    Most of the shirtmakers in Naples will do cut make and trim (you supply the cloth) for €80-€100. The one thing you might have trouble is getting them to do an un-fused collar, Golia doesn't for instance. The other thing is finding colours/patterns other than white, blue or pink. Given your...

    Is there a name for this shirt template/weave style?

    That would be a fairly standard cloth from a formalwear shirting book. I would tend to think a dobby weave: https://www.acornfabrics.com/shop/fabric-types/white-on-whites/malham-20-white-dobbie-fabric/

    In Italy 'vigogna' also means a flannel with a mélange colouring: https://www.sermonetaroma.com/acquista-online/pantaloni/vigogna/...

    Why not Molloy? To avoid it looking like a mini peacoat you'll need a lot of surface interest/nep imo.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    If you're in Toronto I'd check out https://www.sultansfinefabrics.com/, there's also the remnants of a garment district in Montréal as well. For shirting fabrics if you're based in SE Asia you're far more likely to have a decent selection of cloths given the concentration of the rag trade in...
