Button-Ups

$350as of Jul 5, 2026. Check the current price at Turnbull & Asser

The verdict

A lilac silk shirt at $350; luxury pricing for a luxury fabric, but expect distinctive sheen and drape.

Fit

Silk drapes fluidly and skims the body; regular fit suggests modest shaping. Silk will move and breathe differently than cotton.

Quality

Silk construction requires precision seaming to avoid pulls; expect careful finishing from a luxury maker.

Price check

Premium pricing reflects silk fiber cost; worth it if you value the distinctive feel and appearance over cotton's durability.

Best for

Men who dress in formal contexts and appreciate silk's luxury feel and visual distinction; requires careful handling.

Care

Silk is fragile; dry-clean only to prevent shrinkage, color bleeding, and fiber damage.

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.
