Luxury Bespoke Shirts, Cufflinks, Socks and Ties

The Sartorial Executive are a company that focus on traditional luxury and quality ahead of fashion and gimmick. Take for example our fantastic Sterling Silver chain-linked cufflinks. Fanbtastic value at just £65, but no compromise in quality. They are a perfect partner for our bespoke shirts.

Our socks are, in our opinion, the best available from any UK manufacturer. Ultra soft cotton, hand finished, over the calf to ensure they stay up and only £13. Why only navy? 90% of respondents to a recent survey included navy as their sock colour of choice - so here they are the ultimate navy sock. Other colours are in the pipeline - just let us know your favourite colours.

Our ties are hand-made 100% fine Italian Silk. Made using traditional Italian tie making processes in the Como region by skilled tie craftsmen. These are of a limited supply as we plan to move production to the UK using fine English silks. Our current ties are very luxurious; our new ties will be even better.

And that leaves our shirts - the best Italian and Swiss cottons are used, with yarn counts up to 200s. The mills we use have rightly earned their reputation as the best in the world. Our clients know what they want when it comes to quality and we deliver.

A bespoke shirt cuff with a license to kill

Looking for something a little different on your next bespoke shirts? How about a cocktail cuff? This cuff is essentially a turnback cuff which fastens with buttons rather than cufflinks. Apparantly it was originally designed by Frank Foster, the esteemed bespoke shirt maker from Pall Mall and made popular by Sean Connery and later Roger Moore wearing the cuff on shirts in James Bond movies (Moore also wore them in some episodes of The Saint). The cuff is often called the James Bond cuff for this reason.

Originally designed for use with evening wear (hence the term 'cocktail cuff') the collar is today worn regularly with lounge suits in a more informal environment.

If you are looking for a cuff on your bespoke shirts with the flamboyance of the turnback, but want to do away with cufflinks then the cocktail cuff may be for you.

Fleet Support Group Charity Polo Day

As we mentioned earlier we recently donated a Made to Measure shirt to the charity auction at a recent Polo day in support of cancer charity 'Hope for Tomorrow'. I am pleased to say that the event on the day raised just over £21,000 for the charity. An excellent result.
