Everybody says Nylon but what is the difference between Nylon and polyester…I have found some black polyester ones – are they the same or not???

While this does tend to contradict much that has been "confirmed" over the years on this site, if it comes from Hemming I'd say that was the definitive answer.
Therefore, don't worry about the Alfani, and console yourself with the fact that like the rest of us you'll never have the same shirt.

Thank me not: I was as unaware as you until asked Simon - the Quartermaster - Ruzgar the same question only a few weeks ago and was corrected accordingly.
But Hemming does debunk the Alfani theory on the commentary.
With such high level contradictions it's little wonder there are few guarantees of certainty in Bond collecting.
Unless you have the screen used version in your hand, its risky.
Even then, Dave, it'd be wise to get the COA's signed in blood!
She seems to contradict herself a lot. Especially here

She claims that the train shirt was actually a Turnbull and Asser, where it is universially agreed that it was a Brioni.
Maybe it was a Brioni, but shirts are easy to look alike and you have to stay open-minded and not ASSUME that we are right. I'm sure T&A could've done one. But she has so much clothes in her head, maybe she is mistaken!

Hemming may be wrong. But she has as much chance as being correct - perhaps more so? - than any of us fans.
The fact is, until irrefutable documentary or photogarph evidence is produced from OFFICIAL EON sources, it is still all guess work.
Therefore, NOTHING should be claimed as fact until that is established. Unfortunately, at times, personal wishfulfillment can lead some fans to claim veracity when there is none.
NO, SHE doesn't the writer does....!
Doesn't anyone actually READ the articles?!
Let me tell you, having questioned Brioni London, the shirt WAS by them and WAS available from their winter xx collection - hence people being able to source a single cuff version. I was NOT, however, able to order one having spent an hour looking through EVERY swatch they had available...!
I did find an 'original' diesel shirt 'recently' at one of their outlet stores in the UK, but the shirt Bond wears was different and although clearly based upon the Diesel was custom.
Hemming is not mistaken, merely misquoted...!
OR Miss Read...!

That's a Beautiful shirt. If you cannot find the shirt or do not have $425 you can get the Hugo Boss self-stripped shirt for $95.
Fair enough.
