Our expertise serving the finest haute couture shirts
For over sixty years, Confezioni Gallia has been perfecting a craft that combines technique and culture. Every day in our workshop, we create garments that blend comfort, elegance, and sartorial quality, with deep attention to the body to ensure the best fit.
In this guide, we share our expertise to help those looking to navigate the world of the finest Italian shirts by recognizing their distinctive features and authentic values.
Working closely with the leading international haute couture brands, we understand the needs of those who seek not just a shirt, but an identity to wear. We are therefore able to support our clients throughout the entire product development process, providing stylistic, pattern-making, and production assistance.
Shirt size guide: how to evaluate the fit
A well-made shirt is recognized also, and above all, by how it fits. The shirt size guide is not just about numbers, but a dialogue between shape and function, silhouette and freedom of movement.
Our shirts are born from careful study of proportions to suit different body types and needs. For example, the length of a men’s shirt must allow it to be worn tucked in or out of trousers while maintaining visual harmony. Similarly, the measurements of the collar, shoulders, and sleeves must fit precisely without restricting.
Types of shirts and fit: regular fit or slim fit?
Among the main types of shirts are:
- A regular fit shirt with a more classic, comfortable, and versatile fit suitable for those who seek elegance without sacrificing comfort.
- A slim fit shirt with a closer cut that enhances the figure and offers a contemporary allure.
As manufacturers, we know the subtle variations of each cut and help major international fashion houses design shirts tailored to their audience’s needs. Every line is designed to support posture, movement, and the style of the wearer.
How to recognize an Italian tailored shirt
Not all made-in-Italy shirts are the same. What distinguishes a true tailored shirt is the combination of artisanal skill and technical precision.
Here are some elements to look for:
- Stitching that is fine, consistent, and can reach up to ten stitches per centimeter.
- Fabrics made only from high-quality cotton, chosen from the best Made in Italy producers for durability and feel.
- Collars and cuffs constructed with quality linings and hand-finished seams.
- Fit designed to follow the body shape without restricting it.
- Details such as perfectly executed buttonholes, mother-of-pearl or other fine buttons, and symmetrical patterns when using printed fabrics.
In our workshop, every shirt is the result of a process that combines creative vision, sartorial technology, and attention to detail.
Thanks to this approach, we are able to produce tailored shirts that meet the expectations of the most demanding brands, enhancing the union between tailoring and industry without losing the atelier’s soul.
How much does a custom-made shirt cost?
The price of a custom-made shirt depends on the type of fabric, the complexity of the design, the required workmanship, and any customizations. Most importantly, it reflects the quality of the work behind it.
At Confezioni Gallia, we help fashion houses build consistent and sustainable collections aligned with the economic profile of their target audience. Our production know-how allows us to optimize costs and timing without compromising quality.
For us, excellence is never a compromise but a promise.
The value of Made in Italy today
Speaking of Italian artisanal shirts means speaking of culture, craftsmanship, and an appreciation for beauty. It also means embracing a responsible vision of work. We collaborate with Italian suppliers who share our company values, carefully selected according to strict quality and ethical standards.
Made in Italy is not just a label, but a concrete commitment to short supply chains, transparency, and traceability. We work with Italian textile workshops producing eco-friendly fabrics and Made in Italy cotton, ensuring continuity and consistency at every stage of production.
In our daily work, we promote Italian sustainable fashion, not as a trend, but as a culture. A culture built on people, virtuous processes, and authentic quality.
As explained in our Ethics and Sustainability section, every production choice reflects a shared responsibility.
