Shirt tales

Turnbull & Asser’s new collection for the modern man

Think of an enduring British icon of the 20th century, and chances are Turnbull & Asser will have played a role in finessing his shirting wardrobe: James Bond (as played by both Sean Connery and Daniel Craig), Sir Winston Churchill and the Prince of Wales included. So it’s fair to say the brand – founded in 1885 – is something of an expert. Which is why the introduction of the Journey Shirt range is so noteworthy. Carrying its heritage into the 21st century, Turnbull & Asser has partnered with fabric mill Thomas Mason to create a new collection of crease-resistant shirts. The classic styles come in linens and cottons, but with technical nous that keeps them pin-sharp and wrinkle-free. Particularly handy if your working day involves a touch of international espionage, too. From £195, turnbullandasser.co.uk.
