The verdict
Fit
Regular fit with traditional tailoring; red-and-blue stripes are visually busy and require confident styling.
Quality
Cotton with Mayfair-line finishing; red dyes are often less stable than navy, so expect some softening with washing.
Is the price fair?
At $260 for a striped statement shirt, pricing is reasonable for the color boldness—justified if you actively style bright patterns.
Best for
Adventurous casual dressers who want colorful stripes that work with neutral bottoms.
Care
Red dyes bleed readily; wash separately in cool water and dry promptly to minimize color loss.
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.
