They are certainly as good. I believe still made in UK too.

I thought they were outsourced now..manly due to the fact they have concessions dotted about the place...maybe I've assumed wrongly though.

As of last March N&L were made in the UK. I have inquired since so can't speak beyond that.

Also made in UK, Thomas Pink believe it or not.

I've never tried any Charles Tyrwhitt shirts, but even at their incredibly low price, I'm too poor to throw money or myself out the window. Besides absence of gauntletbutton and refusal to do this alteration, why are these shirts so inexpensive and what is their drawback versus New & Lingwood?

My H&H hat off to perfectionist Fred - I think he was of good Austrian descent who ended up in Kansas like Dorothy, but his movement wasn't eurythmic enough for our future - did he wear a lightweight flannell jacket, then he was at least so ahead of his time. I don't think so, his tailors unlike that mill expert and boss took responsibility.
I don't worry about freezing because I always wear a Favourbrook waistcoat and Icebreaker merino long underwear.
Besides the French tailor who patched the holes in my jacket caused by abrasion from leather straps of a heavily loaded Filson rucksack wanted to perform major surgery and extract its padded shoulders, which I never really liked anyway.

The Charles Tyrwhitt representatives told me if I don't like anything,  return it. I'd prefer to know if I take the next shirt collar size 17 would be a mistake because all dimensions are bigger, but they insisted it makes no difference if I had the shirt sleeves altered to 31".  That they woukdn't find another monster to buy the returned shirts, doesn't bother them!

If you are such flannel afficiandos, why don't you ask that lovely young lady who answers email inquiries when the next sale on trousers made in England at Merchant Fox is scheduled?

Back on shirts, anyone checked-out the "Savile Row Inspired" shirts from Marks & Spencer? Italian made of course!

I was in the store in the Hague and this shirt range looked ideal for work (if you're not into button-downs): the white and blue ones for €62 each.
