Bespoke Shirts London

[Umer]

Can you recommend a good shirtmaker in London?

Hello,

That'll naturally depend on how much you want to give out.

If you have money to waste... so to speak, I recommend my old supplier from my days in London, Harvie and Hudson who are simply splendid as well as being very old and respectable. There are 2 shops in Jermyn Street as well as one in good old Knightsbridge.

Alternatively, Denman and Goddard is a very old and distinguished company from the 1700s. They are in either New Burlington or Burlington Street (refer to google).

For something cheaper, there's the high street chains to consider where shirts are not as exclusive but just as good I assure you.

Hope this has helped you.

Sincere regards,

V_British

Who are the high street chain shirtmakers? Or are you referring to RTW stuff like Tyrwhitt or Lewin?

I always seem to think of shirtmakers as custom...

@ Golf_Nerd - in reply to your question as to whether or not I am German. "Nein" is the answer.

In reply to you questioning my 'Englisch'... kannst Du Dein eigene Sprache perfekt sprechen und schreiben?

The terminology "so to speak" you will find very English.

I wish to make you aware of the fact, there is every likelihood that how something is spoken in terms of local dialects (i.e. slang) can also be written, too. An example of this is, I say "took" when normally I should say "taken"

This also depends on two of many factors:

First of all, where one lives (or has lived in the past); And

Secondly, how intense his or her local language is and how much he or she has taken with him or her.

There is also every likelihood that people will shorten their sentences at the start and still be understood.

To conclude this, what can be perceived as being 'bad language' in the eyes of the 'weary and watchful' is in fact the way people actually speak, etc.

Let's see how many mistakes you've spotted - have fun 'spooting'!

Sincere regards,

V_British

@ VKK3450 - that all depends on how much he has in his wallet and how much time he has. As I'm sure you're fully aware, London certainly has a reputation for being overly expensive.

Therefore, the high street will provide alternatives NOT in the bespoke sense... so to speak (Golf-Nerd). That quite simply means - wrapped in plastic Guv-nor as a last resort!

Sincere regards,

Thats why I was asking. His title specifically says bespoke and I thought you knew of a high street store now doing bespoke.

I have tried Dege & Skinner, Gieves & Hawkes (no longer makes shirts) and Turnbull & Asser. My recojmmendation would clearly be Turnbull & Asser. I have also seen Shean O'Flynn's work in person and that was most impressing.

Umer,

This has been discussed in detail before. Search the forum for discussions on Budd, Turnbull & Asser, Russell & Hodge, Sean O'Flynn, Robert Whittaker, Harvie & Hudson and Udeshi.

NB, I think it's Whitaker, one "t" -- for your searches.

Also David Gale.

And Frank Foster or Stephen Lachter.

How common is that. And what does it mean?
