Today, my friend was wearing a Turnbull & Asser shirt with a herringbone pattern so fine that its color changes depending on your viewing angle. And the report is that it's reasonably priced -- for a custom-tailored dress shirt.

According to their web site, they have a store on Brighton Way in Beverly Hills.

The ultimate luxury shirt in the world. If it's good enough to be the official clothier of the Prince of Wales, it should be good enough for you. Some may say that it's too expensive, but if you want quality you have to pay for it. When wearing one of these shirts you will get more compliments in one day then you'd get in your entire life wearing another shirt. I used to work for Thomas PINK and let me tell you, when someone is wearing a quality shirt you can tell immediately. Treat yourself and buy one today.

some of the best dress shirts money can buy. love em.

Turnbull & Asser are the originators of the classic British dress shirt look that has been popularized recently by Thomas Pink and Charles Tyrwhitt. Very expensive but very well made and stylish.

Now if we could only get them to make non-iron button cuff with the spread collar they would be perfect

I never used to take shirts seriously. Just upper body coverings. Then I got a few REALLY NICE ONES, tailored and everything...and suddenly, I was getting something I hadn't gotten in years: compliments on my clothes. I owe it all to T&A (so to speak)...

Classic!

Having visited the shop in London, I am duly impressed by the quality of the shirts. It doesn't get any more classy or classic. Thomas Pink eat your heart out! (via joe)

I have most of my shirts custom made and Turnbull & Asser does them for me. While it is true, bespoke shirts are a bit of an extravagance, once you start down that path, there is no going back.

T & A has a huge array of fabrics and patterns to choose from and will even cut shirts for diagonals or, my favorite, chevron patterns across the front (unfortunately, they won't do the chevron down the back too)

If you like wearing a nice shirt (hey, if it looks good, it often lets you get away w/not having to wear a jacket too) and you have an unusual body shape (my shoulders are broad relative to my neck and waistliine for off-the-rack stuff), then go w/ T & A
