The verdict
Fit
Weekend fit is roomy; linen relaxes further when wet, so expect a looser drape by mid-season. No-cuff styling is deliberately casual.
Quality
Pure linen creases readily but breathes beautifully; Turnbull & Asser linen is neatly finished. Durability is good if you accept wrinkles as part of linen's charm.
Is the price fair?
Fair pricing for 100% linen; at this price, quality is decent but not luxe.
Best for
Summer weekends and hot climates; creases don't bother you and you appreciate breathability over polish.
Care
Linen can be machine washed warm; tumble dry or hang. Iron while damp for crisp lines, or embrace the wrinkled look.
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.
