Using processes that are disappearing the result of all this work is an exclusive product matching style with superb professional skills.
This item called
MERGELLINA, made for the true dandy, is completely Handmade in Italy with Jersey Cotton recreated by Santillo exclusively for this creation in a version very soft, differently to classic Jersey, characterized by Its slightly silky texture and has a one piece collar, totally empty, with v neck collar in place of a traditional button placket.
This hand-cut shirt has a peculiar detail: once the sides have been sewn, the restitching of the armhole is realized with the Santillo's famous “punto a barchetta”, in order to enhance the softness and strenght of the fabric in the most stressed point of the shirt. This step is unique and can be done only by the skilled hands of expert artisans. Little hand embroidered hems are applied on the bottom.
Finally, the ironing and the folding are made by hand too.
