Jazz age bespoke shirts

We have recently been comissioned to produce some fine club collar bespoke shirts in the style popular in the Jazz Age, the 1920's and 30's. Shirts of this period generally had standar turndown collars and cuffs that take cufflinks (but not always double). Collar pins were also popular.
For examples of these types of shirt then you can look at old episodes of the Fry & Laurie TV series Jeeves and Wooster. Jeeves, the valet always wore a club (or penny round) collar and Wooster turn down pointed collars with tie pins.
We are experienced in both of these styles so if you are looking for something of 20's or 30's style then we would be pleased to make them for you.

Turnbull & Asser bargain find

A new shop has opened close to me called 'Good as New' and they sell second hand high end clothing that is as good-as-new. I had a look yesterday and bagged a fantastic Turnbull & Asser 50oz English Silk twill tie that was in absolutely perfect condition (not surprising for something of such high quality). The best thing about it? It was just £5!
I now have to get a couple of new bespoke shirts to go with it...
Turnull & Asser are , of course, famous for their bespoke shirts, but believe me, their ties are also worthy of great acclaim.

The Quality English Wardrobe

People who buy Sartorial Executive Bespoke Shirts buy them because they demand the best. they know they could get cheaper, but are not happy to settle for second best. They also demand English made products. In return we strive to ensure that our shirts are the best in the region.

Below are a few items of English clothing other than bespoke shirts that are popular with our clients - ideal if you are looking for some inspiration for quality apparel to go with the Sartorial Executive Bespoke shirt.

Hats - It just has to be Lock and Co; The St. James' Street hatters have been in existance for 333 years, so should know a thing or two about hats. We particularly like the Chelsea Fedora available at http://www.lockhatters.co.uk for £186.


Suits - If you want the best then it has to be Savile Row and there is probably none better than William Westmancott of 12 Savile Row - view his website at http://www.williamwestmancott.com/contact/index.php

Shoes - There are a few good English shoemakes such as Crockett & Jones and Edward Green, but we are going to plump for John Lobb Ltd at 9 St. James Street. Excellent shoes from both the Ready to wear range and for those who really want the best, their famous bespoke shoes.

Socks - Once upon a time Pantharella would have been our choice, but we find the quality too variable to call them the best. for that honour we choose Corgi (who are not actually English, but Welsh). These really are first class socks.

Ties - Although famous for their shirts, we are going to select Turnbull and Asser as our favourite. the 50oz Twill silk they use is just gorgeous.

Cufflinks - Aspinal double ovals

Umbrella - Swaine Afeney and Briggs at http://www.swaineadeney.co.uk/
