How to judge a quality shirt

As well as being made with a double twine fabric our shirts are particular regarding detail thus making them unique

Take a look at the characteristics…

Sewing of side seams: This is done with two separate stitchings one at a time and not with a double needle machine as generally done in mass production.


Buttons : are in Trocas mother-of-pearl 2 mm. thick (not plastic as generally used).


Sewing with 8 stitches to every centimetre: for every cm of seam there are 8 “strikes” of the needle. The more stitches per cm. the more resistant is the seam and therefore better is the quality of the finished product.


Removable collar stay: the collar has two small openings for inserting the stays in order to keep its form.


Pattern positioning: A Quality shirt is noted for the matching of the fabric pattern on the sleeve and shoulder; this is a difficult task so that a high quality product will have this feature.


Carré: The part covering the shoulder gives the best look when cut and sewn separately from the rest of the shirt.


The triangular reinforcement: placed between the front and the back of the shirt avoids tearing of the sides.


Placket with button: placket is attached on both sides of the sleeve vent.

Your shirt will last longer this way

It is important to carefully follow the instructions on the label stitched inside each shirt. Furthermore, notice the following precautions:

WASHING : Keep white and coloured fabrics severely separate. Do not overload machine. Given, say, a nominal capacity of 5 Kg, do not exceed a max. total fill of 3 kg at a time. For instance, a cotton shirt will usually weight between approx. 200 and 300 g. Cotton should be washed at 50°C max, linen at 40°C max., and silk or wool should always be washed in unheated water. Detergents and softeners should be used sparingly; as a rule, using half the quantity recommended by the manufacturer will do nicely.

STAIN REMOVAL : Given today’s detergents, a mere wash at temperatures specified above should normally suffice for stains to go out in the process. However, such notoriously persistent stains as grass, fruit, rust or ink should first be tackled with a stain remove (preferably the biological kind) before washing. Always remember that best results are achieved where treatment is effected immediately. Any delay tends to make a harder job of it.

DRYING : Mechanical drying should preferably be shunned. Tumblers, for instance, will destabilize fibres to such an extent that shrinkage may occur even on sanforized garments. Drying temperatures must never exceed a maximum of 50°C. This manufacturer recommends air drying at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight. Hang up garment while still wet, using a coat hanger or securing it with clothes pegs.

PRESSING : Make sure ironing temperature is well adapted to the material in had, thus high for cotton, medium for linen and low for wool or silk. Pressing when moist warrants best results so that a steam flat iron is most recommendable. Use of an ironing cloth is your best assurance of precluding undesirable glossiness or wool or silk. Do not use too much starch when ironing collars or cuffs.

The article that you're wearing is made with high quality buttons in mother-of-pearl. Such mother-of-pearl shells are not accidental gifts from the sea. They are product of a complicated partner-ship between humans and nature, spawned in azure lagoons amid the distant atolls of the South Pacific and east Africa.

PIACEMOLTO | Tailored shirts above all a state of mind

"Piacemolto" is above all a state of mind, a way of being, of living, based on the concept that everyone should 'do, if all possible, whatever we really want to do'.

A "Piacemolto" person is generally fond of and appreciates what he has, whether it be little or much. Often he has a good or reasonably good aesthetic sense, capable of appreciating "beauty" in general, but most of all that which distinguishes him is his own sense of self-respect before that of others; this guides him in his behaviour; attitude and day to day options. Human is to error but try to improve we must!

"A Piacemolto" person looks for satisfaction not so much in ‘things’ as such (affections, fondness, love, possessions ) but in the path that brings about these things; the concept of happiness for these people is not something distant and for the future but part of to day.

To be happier……let’s get closer to Happiness!

Tomorrow may not necessarily be better than today if I am not able to enjoy what I already have. For tomorrow, when it arrives, is by now today!

This is where we started!

A "piacemolto" made to measure shirt is coherent with such a view: smart,of good taste, high quality/price ratio, even more it can be adapted to the individual.

Shirts made to measure…. we feel this a good way to materialise our outlook…..!

Stay tuned!
