"Fortunes made in no time are like shirts made in no time; it's ten to one if they hang long together."

Douglas William Jerrold

Having had the perfect suit made, the next step is to romance it with a shirt. At Edward Sexton we make shirts with the same philosophy that we make suits. After deciding how close to the body they like their shirt, customers are then measured to get the perfect fit. They then choose from our vast selection of cottons, linens and silks. We advise on the perfect collar shape to each individual’s personal style, taking into account the proportions of their neck and shoulders. We also offer Edward’s signature tab-collar or pin-collar for the smartest, most sophisticated look.

Our bespoke shirts have beautifully hand-stitched collars, cuffs and sleeves. The softness and control of the hand-stitching ensures that the seams remain strong and prevents puckering (that occurs to machined seams as the thread shrinks during washing). The shirt is finished with mother of pearl buttons, buttonholes and monograms sewn by hand.

Having had a shirt made to fit you it is hard for many to return to ready-to-wear.
