BB db blazer.

You may have seen the standard BB blazer which I don't care for either. The BB Country Club blazer, however, is a nice RTW available in db or sb. I have one which I have been wearing for 4 years and it has held up well. It is an English cut, or as close as BB gets to one, with side vents, a supprese...

Wool shirtings.

Most of the Jermyn St shirtmakers offer a Viyella blend of 80% cotton, 20% wool. They are suitable to wear with a tie, but are regarded as country shirts. This doesn't mean much is the US, but I assume it would in the UK.

Shipping to US from UK

I've dealt with most of the Jermyn st shirt makers, and they have always shipped via Royal Mail, then USPS with no duty charged. Recently, I have run into problems with Alfred Dunhill and Duchamp of London in that they use courier services and charge duty on your order. This would be fine if the ord...

rtw shirts

I am from Dayton, not too far from you. I have tried virtually every Jermyn St rtw shirt maker for the past five years. I have found that Harvie and Hudson is the best and possibly the most stylish. You can check their web site to get a sampling. Their stripes are truly what a British shirt should l...
