Mens Shirt Styles

Men's Extra Slim (Tailored) Fit

Our Extra Slim Tailored Fit has been designed for those who like a close fitting shirt, but need a bit more room in the chest and shoulder. This style accentuates the 'V' shaped physique, with two darts in the back tapering the fabric into a narrow waist.

The Tailored fit is available in the Windsor cutaway collar and French (double) cuff sleeves. Button cuff sleeves, pockets and alterations are available as optional extra's.


Slim Fit

Our Slim Fit formal shirt fits closer to the body and is slightly shorter in the tails than our Classic Fit shirt.

It offers all the traditional virtues of our Classic Fit including a two-piece, hand turned collar with removable collar stiffeners and a split yoke across the shoulders, but tailored with a contemporary look.

Our Slim Fit formal shirt has the Windsor collar with a double cuff.


Classic Fit

Our traditional Classic Fit formal shirt is generously cut with extra long tails, a two-piece, hand turned collar with removable collar stiffeners, butterfly gusset and a split yoke across the shoulders, ensuring comfort and style whatever the setting.

Our Classic Fit formal shirt has two collar styles: the Prince of Wales collar and the Windsor collar. The Prince of Wales collar comes in either double cuff or twin-button cuff while the Windsor collar comes in double cuff.

Mens Collars

Prince of Wales Collar

Inspired by Edward VIII when he was Prince of Wales, this timelessly elegant collar is also known universally as the English collar. The collar tips of the Prince of Wales collar are semi-cutaway but not spread to the extent of our Windsor collar.

Windsor Cutaway Collar

The Windsor cutaway collar is also known as the Italian spread collar. The collar tips of the Windsor collar are cutaway to the sides for displaying a thicker, larger tie knot. It was originally cut to suit the Windsor tie knot.

Mens Shirt Cuffs

Women's Shirt Style

Fabric Constructions

Superfine Poplin

Superfine Poplin is the classic fabric for a business shirt. Smooth, lightweight and durable, a high quality poplin fabric always looks smart and professional. Woven from the finest, two-ply, Egyptian cotton, this lustrous, silky fabric is not only cool and comfortable to wear but becomes silkier and softer with each wash. We use only the finest quality poplins which are trademarked with our Royal Soft finish to hallmark purity and excellence.

Pinpoint Oxford

Pinpoint Oxford represents the best of both worlds - the perfect blend of poplin’s lustre, crispness and sharp colour, with Oxford's relaxed feel. Our Pinpoint Oxford is woven from the finest, two-ply Egyptian cotton and trademarked with our Royal Soft finish to hallmark purity and excellence.

Royal Herringbone

Our Royal Herringbone is a soft, luxurious fabric recognised by its distinctive fishbone effect, achieved by alternating the direction of the twill in the weaving process. A favourite of shirt connoisseurs around the world, it is perfect for work or weekends. Our Royal Herringbone is woven from the finest, two-ply Egyptian cotton and trademarked with our Royal Soft finish to hallmark purity and excellence.

Royal Twill

Royal Twill is similar in construction to our Luxury Twill. The more prominent lines on the face of the fabric give it a textured appearance, whilst retaining the soft and luxurious feel. Our Royal Twill is woven from the finest, two-ply Egyptian cotton and trademarked with our Royal Soft finish to hallmark purity and excellence.

Luxury Twill

Luxury Twill has a beautiful, soft feel and is specially constructed by passing the weft threads over one and then under two threads. This produces a diagonal rib which, by catching the light, gives an attractive, subtle sheen to the fabric. Our Luxury Twill is woven from the finest, two-ply Egyptian cotton and trademarked with our Royal Soft finish to hallmark purity and excellence.
