Russell & Hodge is run by Mr Kerry Ford who apprenticed at Harvie & Hudson under Mr Roy Woodhead.
Mr Ford works to principles in Bespoke shirt making that are dying out in the modern shirt industry.
Russell & Hodge do fine work where you can specify every detail in your search for the perfect fit and cut.
As well as being involved with the top costume designers in the industry they work on various special
commissions I would highly recommend the services of this fine shirt maker.
I was myself apprenticed to Mr Ford in the early Nineteen Eighties at Harvie & Hudson

Both TM Lewin and Charles Tyrwhitt make reasonable shirts, particularly at their price point. The choices that they offer in neck sizing and sleeve lengths are excellent, too. However, their lower lines don't have MoP buttons and the collars are fused and - for my taste - quite heavy and stiff.


TM Lewin's collars weren't fused last I checked at least. Granted, that was a while ago, but I'd be surprised if it has changed. MoP buttons they don't have. But MoP buttons are readily available, fairly cheap, and anyone with a needle, thread and 30min on their hands can change them themselves, if everything else about the shirt is satisfactory.

I was quite pleasantly surprised by Harvie & Hudson's RTW shirts. Nice and slim (if you go with the slim fit line, that is), decent fabrics, unfused collars/cuffs, MoP buttons… Around the same area as the other Jermyn Street brands in terms of price, I think 3 shirts cost a hundred pounds. The only downside is that I believe all their slim fit shirts are double cuffed.
