Caruso is an Italian classic menswear brand, which was founded by Raffaele Caruso in 1958. Caruso shirts are made in Italy. They have mother-of-pearl buttons (thickness about 3 mm.; sewn on by machines), gussets. MOP comes from French Polynesia. Collars are fused if we’re speaking about dress shirts; non-fused in case of informal shirts. Side seams are single-needle stitched; yokes are non-split. There is no hand-stitching. Sleeves are sewn on at the end of the manufacturing process. The brand uses nice cotton, linen and cotton+linen fabrics.
