Our FAQ's

SHIRTS

1. WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT OUR SHIRTS?

Everyone has a different requirement from a shirt. However, we believe that comfort and looking smart right to the end of the day are right at the top of the list. If this meets your requirements then you should definitely give us a try!

2. WHAT FABRIC DO YOU USE?

We use specially selected superfine long staple cotton. Remember, cotton is like wine and qualities vary from year to year so our expert cotton graders ensure only raw cotton that meets our exacting standards is used. This is then spun into yarn and woven exclusively for us.

3. DO YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF SLEEVE LENGTH?

Yes, we offer Regular Sleeve and Extra Long. Want to know more? See the next question.

4. ARE YOUR COLLARS TRADITIONAL OR CUTAWAY?

We have always opted for a semi-cutaway collar because we believe this provides the perfect frame for your tie no matter which kind of tie knot you prefer. It is also very smart when worn without a tie

5. DO YOUR DOUBLE CUFFS FEATURE TWO BUTTON HOLES?

Yes the inside side of the cuff has two positions allowing you to increase or reduce the sleeve length by half an inch. However, did you know that this feature originally had nothing to do with sleeve length? It first came into being when the Victorian gentleman wanted to retain a clean cuff line. After a day walking the smog-filled streets of London, his cuff edge would appear unclean. The extra cuff link position allowed him to roll the cuff forward by half an inch thus moving the smog-created dark line up inside the cuff and the shirt appeared clean enough to wear for the evening meal!

6. WHICH IS BEST FOR ME - CLASSIC FIT OR SLIM FIT?

Whether to go for our classic fit or slim fit shirts is a matter of personal preference. Our advice would be to try our classic fit if you are a heavy build or are used to the traditional generous shirt look. If you are of medium build or have an athletic shape, then you will probably be happier with our slim fit shirts which feature a sharper cut and slightly shorter tails.

7. WHY DO YOU HAVE ROUNDED CUFF CORNERS?

This is another traditional tailoring feature that takes a little longer to stitch but is the sign of a quality shirt. Have you ever noticed that a square edged cuff is one of the first things to fray on a shirt? This is because the corner of your cuff is constantly receiving friction from desks when typing or writing. We simply remove this right angle to provide a smooth line so this friction is not concentrated at just one point. This means your cuff should last longer.
