Navy Stripe Highbury Overshirt
The verdict
Fit
Cotton-dominant blend (78% cotton, 16% poly, 6% elastane) cuts as an overshirt—fuller and longer than a standard shirt. The elastane adds subtle give without visible stretch recovery.
Quality
Turnbull & Asser's lightweight tech-adjacent blends are well-made but not laboratory-engineered—expect reliable wear without specialized durability claims.
Price check
At $715, this sits mid-premium: less overhead than full wool or silk lines, but more careful than their base cotton. Justifiable for a practical 3-season layer.
Best for
A wearer who needs an overshirt that moves, travels well, and pairs with tailored trousers in warmer months.
Care
Machine wash warm with similar colors; elastane benefits from line drying rather than heat tumble.

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.
