As for today’s scoop…
Guys are going crazy over Charles Tyrwhitt’s apparel…and understandably so.
Charles Tyrwhitt’s (full name Nicholas Charles Tyrwhitt Wheeler) claim to fame
are his Sea Island quality shirts.
Sea Island quality means the cotton used to make these wonderful shirts are of a fine grade of cotton that is usually grown in the Caribbean. The shirts are then woven by the finest weavers in Italy, and are (so I hear) luxuriously soft to wear. The number 140 and such in Charles Tyrwhitt’s merchandise refers to the yarn count per pound.
The higher the count, the silkier and lighter the shirt.
If I were a guy, there would be no twisting my arm to get me to slip into these threads:
Lemon Pinpoint Classic Shirt

Paul Sky & Green Poplin Stripe Classic Shirt

Harry Blue Poplin Stripe Cutaway Classic Shirt

Samuel White Herringbone Textured Classic Shirt

Blue Pinstripe English Suit Jacket

Navy Twill English Suit Jacket

Charcoal Italian Travel Suit Jacket

Nice shoes, too…
Black Leather Brogued Monk Shoes

Oh, and for the record, Tyrwhitt is pronounced “Tirrit.”
Hey, I take my blogging duty seriously.
