Charcoal Melange Hampstead overshirt

Button-Ups

$1,295as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Turnbull & Asser

The verdict

A lighter wool-free overshirt in elasticated blend, priced significantly below the wool versions but still at premium tier.

Fit

Regular fit overshirt with cotton-polyamide-elastane blend. Elastane adds stretch; expect better recovery and less creasing than pure wool.

Quality

The elastane blend suggests engineered comfort and stretch recovery. This is a performance-oriented construction compared to pure wool blends.

Price check

At 1,295 USD, lower than the wool Hampstead overcuts but still premium. Elastane enables easier care and more stretch, offsetting the wool premium.

Best for

Someone wanting overshirt weight and structure without dry-cleaning requirements, accepting synthetics for ease.

Care

Elastane blends can be machine-washed; elastane retains stretch better if dried flat.

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.
