Colony Blue Grid Check Mayfair Shirt
The verdict
Fit
Mayfair regular fit with grid check in colony blue—reads as classic without formality. Check pattern adds visual interest; proportions are standard for the brand.
Quality
100% cotton grid check construction typical of T&A's line at this price; colony blue should hold color well through regular washing.
Price check
At $575, fair pricing for the brand's regular-fit option. Grid check is more practical than stripes for daily wear.
Best for
Everyday smart-casual for someone wanting classic pattern and quality without formal structure or bold color.
Care
Cool wash and air dry; press damp if you prefer crisper check definition, otherwise minimal maintenance needed.

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.
