There is a shirt you have been looking for. The collar sits exactly right. The fabric has a weight to it without being stiff. The cuffs are cut properly. It tucks in without pulling and comes untucked without looking like an accident.

Alessandro Gherardi makes that shirt. Working in Tuscany in the finest Egyptian cotton and linen, Gherardi produces formal and casual shirts of exceptional quality, with a degree of customisation that extends to collar shape, cuff style, monogram, and almost anything else you have ever wanted to ask for. We can accommodate made-to-measure orders in store or by email. Four weeks. Worth every day of them.
