The Perfect Italian Shirt | Inside a Florence Shirtmaker's Studio

Bespoke shirt Florence Italy: inside Leonardo Bugelli's studio, the first fitting, pattern cutting and the craft behind a handmade Italian shirt. Why is it so hard to find a shirt that fits your shoulders, your neck and your waist at the same time? If you've ever wondered how Italian men solve this, the answer is a bespoke shirtmaker. In Florence, home of Pitti Uomo, we stepped inside the studio of Leonardo Bugelli, who has made shirts for clients around the world for more than thirty-five years, to see what really goes into an Italian handmade shirt. In this video: What a man should expect at his first bespoke shirt fitting in Florence How a shirtmaker takes measurements and cuts a shirt to a paper pattern How cloth, collar and buttons shape the way an Italian shirt looks and wears Why a bespoke shirt fits when off-the-rack shirts never quite do The story of a tie made for President Obama, and a connection to former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano Florence is one of the best cities in the world for bespoke menswear because the artisans never stopped working by hand, and a shirtmaker's studio is where you see it most clearly. Italian Style Notes is filmed on the streets, in the showrooms, and at the events of Florence, Italy — home of Ferragamo, Pitti Uomo, and some of the world's finest artisan ateliers. Every Friday, we decode what real Italian style looks like for men who care about dressing well without looking like they tried too hard. 00:00 Why finding the perfect shirt is so hard 01:45 Bespoke shirt Florence Italy explained 03:30 Meet Leonardo Bugelli Florence shirtmaker 05:15 What to expect at a first bespoke shirt fitting 07:00 How a bespoke shirt is measured 08:45 How a shirt pattern is cut by hand 10:30 Choosing shirt cloth and cotton quality 12:15 Italian shirt collar styles explained 14:00 Handmade shirt buttons and details 15:45 Bespoke shirt vs made to measure vs off the rack 17:30 The tie made for President Obama 19:15 Subscribe for more Italian style, every Friday You can watch the part 2 of this visit here:    • Have a Shirt Made Just for You in Florence      • BATTISTONI – THE ART OF TAILORING SINCE 1946   #MensFashion #MensStyle #ItalianStyle #ItalianMenswear #BespokeShirt #FlorenceItaly #MadeInItaly #PittiUomo #ClassicMenswear #timelessstyle Italian style, Men’s style, bespoke menswear Florence, tailoring, how to dress like an Italian man, Pitti Uomo, custom shirts, Leonardo Bugelli Shirtmaker 1
