How to recognize a haute couture shirt

Come riconoscere una camicia di alta sartoria

Bolzonella 1934 is more than just a shirt. If you have purchased or are considering purchasing one of our garments, you are choosing to wear something truly unique. Our shirts are products of the highest craftsmanship, with details still cared for and cut by hand, in the tradition of the finest Italian tailoring.

It's not just about using particularly experienced craftsmen or excellent quality fabrics: a Bolzonella 1934 shirt is recognized by certain details that tell its profound identity as a garment conceived and developed to be almost perfect.

Softness, durability, accuracy of finishes: each of our shirts aims to be a second skin, a faithful ally for every significant moment of your life, from the most important business meetings to time dedicated to hobbies and loved ones.

Mother-of-pearl buttons

We seek excellence in every detail, and buttons are certainly no exception. We only use the best Italian suppliers of snap buttons and select the finest mother-of-pearl available, from Goldfish to Haliots.

Remember that you can also recognize a Bolzonella 1934 shirt by its buttons: look for the daisy, our symbol, which we have transformed into a jewel-like detail, a special "signature" that authenticates your garment.

COLLAR

Wrinkle-free collar stand and no internal adhesive: the collars of our shirts have been designed with every possible precaution to guarantee the greatest possible softness when in contact with the neck, without sacrificing a perfect aesthetic appearance on the outside.
All our garments also come with removable collar stays: a detail we have adopted from our sartorial experience.

 

ERGONOMIC CUFF

The cuffs of our shirts are perfectly ergonomic: thanks to their particular shape, they allow the hand and arm to move freely. The placket button, positioned lower than on a classic shirt, has been specially designed to allow for an informal use of the shirt even with an open cuff.

 

TRIANGLE

Look closely at the sides of your shirt: the reinforcing triangle sealing the seams is another valuable detail that requires great skill in manufacturing. Not only does it serve as reinforcement, but it also transforms into an aesthetic detail that embellishes the garment.

YOKE

Bolzonella 1934 yokes have a particular shape, designed to slim the figure and broaden the shoulders. This type of shaping allows you to practically wear your denim shirt with any type of outfit.

 

WINK

You no longer have to worry about your glasses falling out when you put them in the pocket or buttonhole of your shirt. This decorative element, characterized by its great charm and refined craftsmanship, was designed with a precise functional intent: to anchor the arm of the glasses to the shirt, thus keeping the glasses secure thanks to a special buttonhole embroidered on the chest.

SEAMS

Did you know that a quality shirt can also be recognized by its seams? In all our garments, the sleeve and side closures are French seamed. This is a single-needle seam, with a thread that joins the fabric first on the right side of the work and then on the wrong side. This seam requires more time to execute, but it is time we would never give up: the final result is, in fact, significantly more resistant than a normal seam and provides a minimal aesthetic impact, of great cleanliness and elegance.
