Any opinions on Luciano Barbera shirts?

A Marshall's store has a few of these in their shirt bin for $69. The cuts appear quite nice, and the fabrics have a really nice feel to them. Anyone have any comments on them? Worth the price? Also, noticed they have some unusual (European?) sizing...can anyone point me to a conversion?

For $69 they are a very good value. Luciano Barbera is a Mill. They don't actually make the goods as I understand it. They are made by other Italian makers. Barbera puts their name on it. I have had a few of their shirts and Ties and have enjoyed them. The sizing is a little off so make sure you try it on.

A good deal for $69, for sure. The one recent 16/41 I have is shorter-sleeved than most though so watch that.
I agree on both the quality and shorter sleeves. I have found that the shirts are cut fairly slim through the midsection. After a couple of trips to my rough on shirts laundry, I have found them too tight.

Saying all that, I would buy more in a minute if I didn't have to deal with a spare tire.

They are excellent in fit. I handwash mine, I got them for $20 at Loehmans.
I like the fit better than my borrelli. The fabric is nice too. The buttons are crappy looking, the thick, fake MOP kind. I may buy some real ones and sew them on.
For $70, they are still a good value, you wont find anyother shirts in that price range (RTW) that are better.
They have pretty high armholes and are slim fitting in the body.

I was turned off by the buttons too...stamped plastic...
