What owners report about Turnbull & Asser jackets & outerwear
Reviewers and enthusiasts describe Turnbull & Asser's tailored jackets as heavily built, traditional English pieces: fully canvassed and fully lined, cut as sporting/hacking jackets with working surgeon's cuffs and twin vents, and made up in wool and cashmere cloth. Those who handle them consistently rate the construction very highly, calling the quality superb. Editorial coverage of the brand's velvet smoking jackets frames them as serious, several-thousand-dollar British-made garments rather than casual outerwear.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently praise the construction, singling out the full canvassing, working cuffs, and fine wool/cashmere and velvet cloths.
- Watch out for
- The jackets sit at a very high price point, and enthusiast coverage skews toward vintage and formal pieces rather than everyday casual jackets.
