Our bespoke shirt fabric selection

I received an email today asking about the relative quality of our different fabric ranges for bespoke shirts.

This is a very difficult question to answer as there are many factors to consider when deciding which fabrics are better than another. However, on further thought I came up with three levels of quality, which are really blurred across the boundaries and this is the list I finished with:

level 1 - S.I.C. Tess (Italy) - Alumo (Switzerland)

level 2 - Grandi & Rubinelli (Italy), Monti (Italy), Thomas Mason (Italy)

level 3 - Acorn (UK), Ringhart (UK)

These levels are probably pretty well confirmed when looking at the prices of the fabric ranges too. The first two levels are actually very close to each other, with some very excellent shirtings available from each of the mills.
