Find the Perfect Shirt

The look of a great shirt should be easy and simple, but the construction and development of this essential garment requires a thoughtful approach and a lot of experience.

Berg & Berg shirts are made in Northern Italy by a small, but highly focused, dedicated and experienced manufacturer. What set this manufacturer's work apart is a deep understanding of what it takes to make a great shirt and an incredible attention to detail with precise, fine stitching. The fit of our shirts has been developed in a close working relationship between the Berg & Berg design team and the manufacturer. We have developed a flattering house style with a tapered, but not slim waist and a high armhole. For some of our casual shirts we have developed a wider, more classic fit, that fits the vibe of these shirts.

The feedback from our customers is important to us. As a result of this dialogue we decided to add 1,5 cm to the width of the sleeve to both our regular line and handmade line shirts to add comfort and drape.

For us, the right fabric is just as important as craftsmanship and construction. We mainly source shirtings from Italian mills, but later this year we will add a range of Japanese oxford and checked flannel fabrics to the mix.

A more casual shirt is a product that we find very interesting at the moment. Last season our mandarin collar shirt Frans and short sleeve shirt Ferdinand, with a casual dad vibe, proved very popular. This season we found a great baby corduroy fabric and decided to make a western style casual shirt, Fernando was born. Easy to wear both with our high waisted trousers and jeans, it is one of the most popular products of the season at the Berg & Berg office.
