New English Bespoke Shirtmaker: Wil Whiting

[uppercase]

Doesn’t look bad at all to me.

Button the cuffs and the sleeves will be the right length and let you bend your arms, say while driving, without pulling up the cuffs too far.
Button the front of the shirt and I think you won’t have excess cloth.
Button up the collar to see how it really looks and fits.

Looks comfortable and fine.

But you’re wearing it and you’re the client.

Wear it a dozen times...let the collar soften a bit. Then button up and give us another look.

OK thanks, will do.

If its good enough for you guys, its good enough for Charles, so I will confirm that his shirts, collars and ties are his weakest point. But who would expect Charles to choose a Windsor collar? He clearly has the intention to distance himself from his prodigious style predecessor and create his own legacy.

Charles has a very fine, birdlike, turkey head. He can afford to wear a tiny collar and points. I suspect the collar has a bit of tie space, the old English collars of this type did have. But when the tie is pulled into place and knotted as tightly as Charles does, we don’t see it. I think the very tight small knot, gives off vibes of nervousness, up-tight, anal retentive, arrogant and closed; according to a tailor I know who made him 22 suits, that is pretty much Charles’s personality.

Just came across this tight knot. Prince Charles on the slopes at Klosters, Switzerland, 1978.
