Lilac Pin Check Mayfair Shirt

Button-Ups

$635as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Turnbull & Asser

The verdict

A playful option within the premium bracket—buy if you value subtle color variation and want to break from solids without sacrificing formality.

Fit

Mayfair regular fit with a standard collar. Pin-check pattern may sit tighter optically than plain weaves; sizing true is crucial for this design.

Quality

100% cotton pin-check should hold its pattern through repeated wear; Turnbull & Asser's execution on patterned weaves is traditionally strong.

Price check

At $635 for a patterned premium dress shirt, the price is proportionate to the brand and cut quality.

Best for

Office workers confident in color who want textural interest without loud prints—works well in mixed business contexts from formal meetings to creative offices.

Care

Check pattern can show water spots; air-dry when possible and press on the reverse to protect the weave definition.

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.
