Bespoke shirt makers in London?

[Andrew0409]

Does anyone have experience and can recommend a good bespoke shirt maker in London? I’m looking to make a few shirts.

Budd, in the Piccadilly Arcade. Emma Willis, a few steps away in Jermyn Street.

Try to find David Gale if he is still active as a shirt maker.

Note that most, if not all, of the London shirt makers are MTM, not bespoke. That may not matter to you — just pointing it out.

It’s been a good number of years since I had shirts made, but when I was able I used Sean O’Flynn - bespoke rather than MTM. I was always very happy with his work.

Do you remember the price range shirts start at?

Like I said, it was a number of years ago - I seem to remember around £200 - £250.

I have used several shirtmakers and Sean O'Flynn has produced the best fitting shirts I have. I enjoy working with him, he's reliable and easy to work with.

I use Wil Whiting. Very technical, massive knowledge, although very expensive. The Michael Browne of shirt making.

How about Turnbull and Asser? I understand that they offer bespoke.
My RTW T & As have worn extremely well.

Without opening up a tiresome debate about what bespoke means, but at Budd I have my own paper pattern that was drawn by James MacAuslen for me. James cuts my shirts to that pattern. ?‍♂️

Hilditch & Key have a very good bespoke operation going on.

Is David Gale the shirtmaker there?

I believe he went from Turnbull & Asser to Hilditch & Key, yes.

Definitely worth considering H&K then.

I have not used them but heard good things about Budd... they also came to the Bay Area at least back when the world was still normal... now I dont even know when I will go back to the office...
