REGULAR CLOSE FITTING

This is often the best choice for those who do not want to risk a slim-fit, but who would still like a lean fit around the torso and waist.

The back of the shirt is smooth with two sewn darts.
Suitable for those who want a shirt with a lean fit around the waist.

COMFORTABLE FITTING

The shirt is made to measure in order to obtain a progressive width. It is more comfortable than the Italian fitting, as measurements of the chest and waist are larger than previously mentioned shirts.

The back of the shirt has two lateral pleats or a box pleat in the middle.
It is suitable for those who like to feel comfortable and at ease, or for those who wear plus sizes.

SLIM FITTING

For people who love to be fashionable, or for those who are very slender and like to wear a very close fitting shirt. The armhole and forearm are very snug too, so we always suggest to choose stretch fabrics to create your slim-fit shirts.

The back of the shirt is smooth/plain.
