Shirts and menswear on Jermyn Street

Why it belongs in ORBIS

Turnbull & Asser's flagship occupies 71–72 Jermyn Street in London's St James's, where the house has traded since 1903. The shop carries classic and seasonal clothing alongside shirts and accessories, with original fittings still part of the interior. Customers seeking bespoke shirts should distinguish this flagship from the separate Bury Street service described by the house.

Turnbull & Asser's Jermyn Street flagship presents the house through shirts and the clothes worn with them. The shop has occupied 71–72 Jermyn Street since 1903, and original fittings remain part of the interior. That date belongs to the move into this building, rather than to the beginning of the company. The current collection brings classic pieces together with seasonal clothing and accessories, allowing a visit to extend beyond a single shirt.

The house describes shirt and tie production through its Gloucester and Sidcup factories and the work of their cutters and sewers. That account gives a more precise sense of manufacture than treating everything on the shop floor as British-made. It also separates production from the services offered at each London address. The Jermyn Street shop is the flagship for viewing the collection, while the bespoke shirt service described by the house operates on Bury Street. Decide which kind of purchase you have in mind before arranging a visit, particularly if the aim is to commission rather than buy ready-to-wear.
