Our new blog looks at eight fabulous outfit ideas you can style with blue shirts which will cover all occasions including winter and summer. Blue along with a white shirt are the foundations of all men's outfits.
We manufacture two types of shirts; traditional tailored shirts and polo shirts all hand cut and made at our Suffolk factory in England by experienced tailors and seamstresses. We use 100% Egyptian and US pima cotton sourced from only the finest shirting mills in Europe.
Many of the shirts are finished with unique styling and detailing including contrast printed fabric inside the collar and cuffs with different colour buttonholes. Each shirt is handmade using traditional British tailoring with single need stitches throughout to ensure longevity and a guarantee they will become a firm favourite within your wardrobe for years to come .
Men Blue Tailored Shirts
Our blue tailored shirts are available in four different styles; short sleeve and button down long sleeve for smart casual occasions up to our London collection and double cuff blue shirts that are reserved for formal and work wear.
