Turnbull & Asser Bespoke

The best made shirts in the world, period. No one fits a bespoke shirt as well as Turnbull & Asser. Wonderful service from Steven Quin and George Atanasias in a comfortable room full of photos of notable customers. Expensive, but after trying a number alternatives I found that there is nothing that compares. They also offer re-cuffing and re-collaring as well as re-sizing so you can continue to wear these beautiful shirts for many years.

This is an excellent traditional English gentleman's tailor and shirt makers. I think that their accessories - socks, ties and, pocket squares are second to none for quality, choice and, value for money. If you think they are expensive then it really is a matter of 'you pay your money and you get your choice '; less expensive makes may not be worth the money.

I had seven bespoke shirts made here. The result, sadly, is far below what one might expect. In spite of four rounds of test shirts being made, the shirt never achieved a comfortable and tidy fit across the yoke.Among all my shirts (most of which are just made-to-measure), the T&A bespoke shirts stand out as the least comfortable.One should not expect them to ensure a good shirt. A friend ended up with shirts that were half an inch too tight on the neck, and I constantly had to remind them to check the fit and tension points on the waist while sitting.There are many excellent shirt-makers out there. I would suggest trying them instead.
