American interest in Italian tailoring has never been stronger. From New York to Los Angeles, more men are trading mass-produced formalwear for garments cut, printed, and sewn in Italy by hand — and Angelo Galasso, the London-based house the Financial Times once called "The Da Vinci of Shirts," ships its full collection worldwide, including to the United States.
If you are ordering Italian luxury menswear from the US for the first time, here is what to know — from sizing to shipping — plus a look at what has just arrived in the collection.
What Makes Italian Craftsmanship Different
Italian tailoring is built on a different philosophy to American ready-to-wear. Where mass-market shirting favours uniform, machine-cut production, Italian ateliers still rely on hand-finishing at key stages — mother-of-pearl or hexagonal AG buttons set by hand, single-needle stitching on collars and cuffs, and fabric sourced from mills that have supplied European tailoring houses for generations. The result is a garment built to be worn for years, not seasons, and it is why Italian luxury menswear commands a different kind of loyalty among American collectors of fine clothing.
Italian to US Sizing: A Quick Guide
One of the most common questions from American customers is how Italian sizing compares to US sizing. Italian shirts are typically sized by collar circumference in centimetres, which converts approximately as follows:
EU 38 = US 15" collar
EU 39 = US 15.5" collar
EU 40 = US 15.75-16" collar
EU 41 = US 16.5" collar
EU 42 = US 17" collar
EU 43 = US 17.5" collar
Italian cuts also tend to run slightly slimmer through the body than standard American fits, reflecting the more tailored silhouette of Italian dressing. If you are ordering for the first time, we recommend reaching out to the boutique directly with your measurements before purchasing, particularly for tailoring and outerwear.
