Joseph Turner

Joseph Turner started in 1997, which makes it a surprisingly young company. Surprising because their quality shirts are so traditionally stylish, and also because Joseph Turner shirts are such an established part of men's formal wear, it seems like they have been around for years. All Joseph Turner shirts are made finest 100% two-fold cotton, and follow close attention to detail to create luxury formal shirts in a range of styles and colours, at great prices too. The prices are kept low by the fact that you can only by a Joseph Turner shirt direct from their web site. This keeps their company costs low, which they in turn pass on to the customer. All of their formal shirts are worthy of consideration, but in particular we like the Joseph Turner Sea Island shirts. These are for true shirt connoisseurs and use the finest quality 2-fold cotton, with a high thread count of 140, making a superbly soft, strong and silky shirt.
