The verdict
Fit
Standard Mayfair regular fit. Beige and light blue is understated; the check is visible but not loud, suiting formal and business-casual contexts.
Quality
Cotton quality is consistent across the Mayfair line. Check construction doesn't compromise durability or seaming.
Is the price fair?
155 USD on sale (from typical 185+ USD) is fair for a polished, wearable check in a known cut. Good value now.
Best for
Someone building a professional rotation who wants subtle pattern, neutrality, and proven fit from a heritage maker.
Care
Machine wash warm; the light colors may pick up lint, so wash separately or with like colors.
What owners report about Turnbull & Asser button-ups
Forum posters rate Turnbull & Asser shirts among the top tier of English ready-to-wear for construction, citing dense stitching, hand-sewn side-seam gussets, and consistently clean finishing. The recurring gripe is price rather than quality: several Ask Andy posters call the shirts good but dreadfully expensive, arguing similar quality can be had elsewhere on Jermyn Street for less. Reviewers also note the styling reads business-first — the house medium-spread collar does not sit as well worn open — so the line suits tucked, tailored wear better than casual use.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently report first-rate English construction — dense stitching, reinforced seams, collars that keep their shape — with quality described as flawless and consistent across the range.
- Watch out for
- Reviewers say you pay a steep heritage premium, and the formal cut and collar styling limit the shirts' usefulness worn casually or open-necked.
- Sizing
- The old generous cut has been phased out for a decidedly slimmer ready-to-wear block, so longtime buyers report the current fits run trimmer than they expect; Regular remains the roomiest of the three fits.
