Four new arrivals from Hamilton--one is hiding.

This one is my favorite. It's a pink and purple stripe with a contrasting white club collar:

I wanted to have a tacky linen blend shirt to go out to have an icecream on Naples and look different of my usual uniformity.

Fabric is the best blend after Riva, buttons are the most expensive button that exist ( that i know) and no one uses.

Note is not the 4 but 5 mm costing 1,25 euros a piece.

Collar is an experimental one.

Buttonhole is the oval one also to do difference from my usual.

I wanted to have a tackyi think Tacky is the wrong word. the shirt looks very nice and casual linen blend shirt to go out to have an icecream on Naples and look different of my usual uniformity.

Fabric is the best blend after Riva, buttons are the most expensive button that exist ( that i know) and no one uses.

Note is not the 4 but 5 mm costing 1,25 euros a piece.the reason no one uses them, is that they are so thick , it is hard to get through a buttonhole.

Collar is an experimental one.looks a little formal for an Ice Cream shirt.

Buttonhole is the oval one also to do difference from my usual. very nice

Thanks for the translation. Was a bit of in joke for some folks, since i only wear classic style business related orthodox colours so this was a new for me and sure some will call me it on other forums... lol

I should have used a superlight interlining for casual use as you say or maybe as non fused but casual in low weight either but having tried maybe all from the best three brands and do not like any for my personal use.

Anyway is the standard light fused, not the extrastrong. So is
Nice to wear as you know.

I keep trying daily to try to achieve my desired level, the unrecheable perfection maniac 11 out of 10. Yet far away.

The button, i have seen those for 4$ , i believe on free market so can't comment.

Next time will use a 18 on linen shirts instead.

Best

Trocas is a different animal... spiral shell

Trocas is a different animal... spiral shell


Is not the lesser quality part of the shell as i thought it was?

I have edited and uploaded the pics today. I got a new Galaxy mobile and the forum takes me to the main page when i try to upload pics with it. Any clue?

cheers
