The Barba Napoli Shirt

Shirts by Barba Napoli.

The History of Barba Napoli

In 1964, Antonio e Vittorio Barba decided to open a small facility to produce artisan shirts.  Their decision was born of a passion to provide quality garments for the elegant man.  Initially, all the shirts were produced for a limited number of customers, the Neapolitan VIP.  However, soon the Barba brothers’ reputation for elegance and style was known throughout Italy.  The secret to their success lies in the skilled cutting techniques, attention to detail and the use of refined fabrics.

The Construction of Barba Napoli Shirts

  • The cut of the shirts are exclusively finished by hand.
  • The front and the reverse of both the collar and the cuffs are perfectly aligned in the lines.
  • The sleeves are hand sewn, like in the best tradition of the Neapolitan tailors.
  • The back and front side of the hips are perfectly aligned.
  • The placket seam follows the fabric lines.
  • The gusset, the small white taffeta triangle that joins the back to the front, insures more life to the shirt.
  • The buttons are of the best quality Australian Mother of Pearl.

As a final touch, the shirt is dampened and hot ironed to give the shirt a softer finish.
