Loro Piana Shirts & Overshirts: Buyer's FAQ
How can I tell a Loro Piana shirt is authentic? We authenticate every shirt in-house, and the tells are in the details counterfeiters get wrong. We read the factory label — a genuine one carries a Lotto (lot), Matricola (serial) and Colore code, with the "LORO PIANA S.p.A." header printed crisply, never bleeding into the fabric — check the buttons and the collar and cuff construction, and look at the stitch density and hand-finishing. We feel the cloth: genuine Loro Piana linen, cotton and silk have a soft, substantial hand, never thin or papery. On recent pieces we verify the Aura Blockchain / NFC certificate. Because genuine labels vary by year and region, we never rely on a single marker — if a shirt doesn't pass every checkpoint, we don't list it.
What are Loro Piana shirts made of? Loro Piana shirts and overshirts are linen, cotton, silk or blends with cashmere. Every listing states the exact composition and our condition grade.
How should a Loro Piana shirt fit? Loro Piana follows Italian sizing and cuts on the slimmer side. Go by the collar, chest and sleeve measurements we list per piece rather than the label size alone.
Is a pre-owned Loro Piana shirt worth it? Yes. The build lasts for years, so a pre-owned shirt at a fraction of retail is sound value, and every pre-owned piece is graded transparently (Unworn with tags, Unworn, Excellent, Very Good). And every piece is authenticated — if one is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full — with a 14-day return policy, so you can buy with confidence.
