TURNBULL & ASSER
Founded in 1885, Turnbull & Asser is a British shirtmaker, creating luxurious shirts and ties in its workrooms. Priding itself on superior craftsmanship and personal service, these qualities were recognised by HRH The Prince of Wales with the bestowal of a Royal Warrant in 1980. Rich in history and yet forward-thinking, Turnbull has dressed influential men and women including royalty and captains of industry to artists and stars of stage and screen in beautifully made English shirts. Today, the heritage brand continues to focus on ready-to-wear, Made to Measure, and Bespoke shirts and ties at the centre of its clothing range for individuals that appreciate quality and craftsmanship.
Turnbull's unrivalled expertise as a bespoke shirtmaker has seen customers extend from its London and New York flagship stores to across the world. Twice a year, the British heritage brand brings its bespoke specialists to key cities around the world through a series of international By Appointment trunk shows. For those that cannot visit the Turnbull stores, By Appointment is the perfect opportunity to get the true bespoke shirtmaking experience.

Their Bespoke specialists will take you through the process of creating your shirts, from the initial 18-23 measurements to selecting your fabrics, collar and cuff options plus added personalisation. Your bespoke pattern will then get sent to our workroom in Gloucester where a sample shirt will be made. After wearing and laundering it three times, the shirt fit will be true to size. Once you are happy with the sample, the remaining shirts will be created and sent to you. The By Appointment trunk show has a two-shirt minimum order.
