The verdict

Marked-down slim-fit dress shirt at $180: entry-level brand access in a fitted cut.

Fit

Slim fit is narrow through the chest and torso; Regent collar is medium-spread and contemporary. Verify chest width and arm length carefully; slim-fit shirts don't accommodate much sizing variance.

Quality

Cotton construction at this sale price is functional but basic. Turnbull & Asser's entry pieces show competent seaming; however, the collar (material not specified) is the most common wear point.

Is the price fair?

At $180 (clearance, CLASSIC season), this is a discount entry to the brand. Good value for a slim-fit check if the collar style suits your neck.

Best for

The younger wearer or slim-build shopper who prefers fitted proportions and wants brand credentials at a budget price.

Care

Wash in cool water and dry with medium heat; check the collar edge for fraying after each wash.

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.
