The verdict

A sale-priced contrast-detail dress shirt that adds visual interest at a reasonable price; good for formal rotation.

Fit

Tailored fit with Gatsby collar and double cuffs. Contrast collar and cuffs add formality; the micro check on the body keeps it professional.

Quality

100% cotton tailored construction; the white collar and cuff details are typically reinforced, so durability should match the brand standard.

Is the price fair?

At 140 USD (sale), this is solid mid-tier value for a detail-forward dress shirt with branded reliability.

Best for

Someone seeking a dress shirt with subtle visual distinction—for business-formal or semi-formal settings—without overpowering the look.

Care

Wash separately from dark colors to prevent dye bleed from the blue check; iron on medium heat.

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.
