Overview
Founded by Gianmarco Taccaliti and Gianluca Mei, Apposta means “on purpose” or “specially” in English.
Those familiar with the Italian shirtmaking industry might feel that Gianmarco’s surname sounds familiar. Indeed, his family has been operating the Camiceria Taccaliti since 1911.
Therefore, Gianmarco has been involved in shirtmaking all of his life. He has accumulated a lifetime of experience and developed his own connections with textile mills and the industry’s leaders.
Meanwhile, Gianluca is a serial entrepreneur and a digital economy and marketing specialist.
Gianmarco and Gianluca work closely together to produce Apposta’s user interface in order to create a rich online custom experience. And the site first went live in 2016.
Apposta hosts over 4,000 fabrics but an intuitive filter system makes it easy to narrow down the selection according to what you want or need.
Apposta’s factory sources its fabrics from the following prestigious mills:
• Albini
• Canclini
• D& J Anderson
• Getzner
• Grandi & Rubinelli
• Induo
• Leggiuno
• Monti
• Ronghi
• Söktaş
• Thomas Mason
• Valli
Their fabrics range from luxurious Sea Island and Egyptian cotton to contemporary non-iron and even Coolmax fabrics.
The shirts tested in this review consist of an Albini blue Bengal stripe pure cotton Oxford weave with a 70 over 1 weft and warp and a Canclini Girino blue stripe in a Dobby weave with an 80 over 1 warp and weft.

I like the fact that they do a roomier fit with pleats. Ideal for those who don't like the tight Italian fit

Well done for such a detailed review, and great quality video. I'm going to order from Apposta this week. I need a shirt fabric that is very lightweight and thin as I live in a hot country. This could be the answer! By the way, you are a very charming presenter!

Do they still do the discount codes? I feel incentivised to just order one shirt, then get the code, then order multiples. Ones im looking at getting is poplin stripes BDs in yellow, red. And linens in white and yellow. I think theyre fun and versatile
@Bespokeunit
@Bespokeunit Год назад
Not sure if they still offer discount codes. That being said, their shirts are more than worth the full price considering the quality and what you get from other brands charging the same (or more). Rafael

@@Bespokeunit Cool! I'm looking at their double twisted poplin Thomas Mason stripey shirts. The new ones and some of the old ones in the same design albeit apparently heavier weight. Super versatile and perfect year long, especially in hot months in the year. It'll get me the Drakes look with a shirt hopefully in my exact measurements. and even at cheaper prices. A while back I got some Hilditch and Key shirts for literally £7 each, brand new, factory second and the defect was extremely minor. Really good considering the fabrics and construction. It was my first proper dress shirts I got. Anyways, I mention this as the fit of their shirts in my collar size mesh super well with my physique. None of that slim fit, restrictive movement crap. Which I did fall into the trap of doing a few years ago. oof. I can just copy the best measurements from my best shirts and get the ultimate shirt then.

@@danbee415 Sounds like you were incredibly lucky with those Hilditch and Key shirts! And yes, once you experience a proper dress shirt, it's very difficult to ever feel satisfied with anything less, especially when you can have it made to your specific measure such as with Apposta.

@@Bespokeunit I just bought a tonne of shirts from them. they were super helpful, they made a test shirt for me, I met with Marco on zoom where he could check the measurements, then he made another one had another meeting with me, and now they're in production. I'm pretty confident they're going to turn out very well. Just from the fact that the materials they're using are very expensive it's too risky to make mistakes often. I've never had a quality of shirt like the ones they sell so I'm very excited!

Are the buttons sewn with shanks? Are they handstitched with crow’s foot stitch?
@Bespokeunit
@Bespokeunit 2 года назад
Hey there Patrick, The buttons use a heat-sealed shank - you can learn more about their manufacturing process here: bespokeunit.com/articles/suits/apposta/#manufacturing. Rafael

Shouldn't the stripe on the sleeve match the ones on the shoulder?
@Bespokeunit
@Bespokeunit 2 года назад
Ant, if you're referring to the orientation of the stripes of the shirt and how they don't "line up" between the sleeve and the shoulder - this is quite normal for striped shirts as these are two different pieces of cloth that are sewn together when creating the shirt. I guess it'd be possible to line them up, however, I quite enjoy the contrast they create in the overall design. Rafael

I deleted my comment. Just an update on my situation: - Placed a 700+ euro order as my first time being with them - Didn't receive any shirt after 2+ weeks, was told they were waiting on me, because I was thinking paying for another shirt. Measurements were resolved already before this point; - I got my refund as I was frustrated; - Received a phone call days after the refund, the person was pleasent. I agreed to receive a trial shirt; - 2 more weeks I received the trial shirt, really happy with the overall measurements except the shoulder, as the shoulders were 0.5 inches too small to begin with before any wash; - Washed it, further shrinked by another 0.3 inches, that's fine, however the shirtmaker must either measure the shoulders exactly right, or slightly wider. You can't have it small to begin with; - Communicated with Apposta, they kept saying to me about shirt shrinkages which I already know about, I just said whether they can just do the shoulders right. They kept deflecting the resposnibility which I found very frustrating. They kept saying "well just make it slightly wider on the system". Well that's problematic, because on the system that have actually followed the measurements really well in all other parts of the shirt and accomodated for shrinkage accurately on the collar, so I applaud them for that. So if I make my ideal measurement wider, what will happen is they either make the same mistake, therefore get the correct measurement for my shoulders, or they'll follow the advice carefully and I make it wider on the system, therefore getting something that won't fit me very well. Do you get the problem? The shoulders is really important to the the fit of the shirt, if its too small, don't expect to be reaching forward without turning into the incredibile hulk. I just hate how the communication is with them. It's not their strongest point. I just keep the trial shirt and move on with my day lol. It's too tedious to deal with this. They lack customer service skills and fair enough, if I hated my job and hated everyone, I wouldn't give a crap either lol. Maybe that's a slight exaggeration lol. But it is true, they're not very empathetic to what a customer is feeling. . They just assume I am a yes man and will take all risk on my end. No way josé. I am really fussy about this because it's an expensive order. I know they're probably millionaires or some crap, but I want my money to go a long way lol.

Thanks for sharing with so much detail! I know Apposta is based in Italy so it's possible this played a part in the communication issues you experienced. Rafael
