The verdict
Fit
Weekend fit with stand collar and single cuffs signals an easy, unstructured cut. Navy check is understated; expect generous room and a laid-back drape.
Quality
Pure cotton check construction typical of T&A casual wear. Durable for rotation, though navy and check patterns will fade moderately with regular washing.
Is the price fair?
170 USD is fair value for a T&A weekend shirt. Solid mid-market pricing without material surprises.
Best for
A casual dresser who rotates weekend shirts regularly and values the consistency of a heritage brand's weekend cuts.
Care
Machine wash in cool water; tumble dry on low to preserve the check clarity. Turn inside-out to minimize fading.
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.
