Plain White Oxford Tailored Fit Cotton Shirt with Bury Collar and 3-Button Cuffs
The verdict
Fit
Tailored fit will be snug through the chest and waist; three-button cuffs allow for some wrist adjustment. Pin collar adds a formal touch; expect to size based on your true chest and shoulder width.
Quality
Cotton oxford cloth (typical weight for this brand) should be durable with correct laundering. Oxford weave is a forgiving fabric that improves with age, though Turnbull & Asser's off-peg pieces lack the hand-finishing of bespoke equivalents.
Price check
At $525, this sits at the border of mid-premium for oxford cloth. Fair pricing for an English-made business shirt; economical given the brand, though online retailers and house brands deliver comparable construction for $200-$300.
Best for
The professional who prefers tailored fit and collar presence, and who can commit to dry cleaning or careful hand washing.
Care
Oxford cloth softens over time; launder regularly but gently to maintain shape, and iron while slightly damp for crisp collars.

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.
