Napoli shirt regular fit cotton-silk mint garment dyed Zante collar

The Napoli in cotton-silk garment dyed is a shirt for those who understand that true refinement is felt before it is seen. Finamore 1925 interprets the classic dress shirt in an unexpected register: the mint green — achieved by dyeing the finished garment so that the colour enters the fibres at depth — produces a tone that is delicate, almost powdery, worn with the same ease as a white. A shirt for a refined ceremony, formal business, or an evening where one does not wish to go unnoticed — without ever having to say so.

FABRIC AND MATERIALS

The protagonist of this shirt is a fabric rarely encountered in shirtmaking: 90% cotton and 10% silk, in a super lightweight plain weave that leaves little doubt at first touch. The cotton provides structure and hold; the silk intervenes with discretion — just 10% — yet that presence is enough to transform the drape of the fabric entirely, adding a natural luminosity and that quality of fluid, weightless fall that only silk can give. The garment dyeing process completes the picture, softening the mint green into an organic, personal tone that evolves gently over time.

ARTISANAL CONSTRUCTION

Every Napoli is born from the hands of Finamore 1925's seamstresses in Naples, through seven stages of artisanal work that demand even greater precision on a fabric of such delicacy. The Zante collar is sewn with millimetric care, designed to hold its form without stiffness on a fibre so inherently soft. The natural mother-of-pearl buttons are attached using the Neapolitan giglio stitch — a gesture passed down through generations. The sleeve plackets are finished entirely by hand. The mouche carries the embroidered 'F' of Finamore 1925: a seal of authenticity, as discreet as everything that is genuinely so.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The Zante collar frames the face with open, balanced lines — the proportions of a classic spread collar that works equally well with or without a tie. The regular fit honours the drape of the fabric without constraining it, allowing the cotton-silk blend to express its natural fluidity in full.

CARE AND LONGEVITY

A cotton-silk fabric deserves care — and rewards it. Hand wash or machine wash at 30° on a delicate cycle for fine garments; do not spin. Iron at low temperature on the reverse side while the fabric is still slightly damp, to preserve the luminosity of the silk. A shirt that, treated with attention, retains its quality over time — and the garment-dyed mint green develops an even more personal patina with each wear.
