Whatever the shirting requirement, St James’s accommodates.
For a particular collar, sleeve shape, button-hole solution or choice
of fabric, then Jermyn Street it is, with its mix of family-run
businesses and modern outfits.
Shirtmakers
The highest quality service
for over a hundred years
Turnbull & Asser
Turnbull & Asser has delivered the
highest quality service for over a
hundred years, and they don’t shy
from colour: think back to Robert
Redford in The Great Gatsby.
Harvie & Hudson
Recently rebranded, Harvie &
Hudson’s reputation as a go-to
for any shirt needs is growing and
growing – they’ll even refine the
cut in their first floor cutting room.
Budd Shirtmakers
The experience at Budd
Shirtmakers is classic. They
measure, cut and make on
site – a process so integral to
St James’s it feels like a rite
of passage.
New & Lingwood
For a playful approach, New &
Lingwood specialises in bold
prints and vibrant colours, simply
look for the neon displays at the
Piccadilly Arcade entrance to
Jermyn Street.
Hilditch & Key
For uncompromised style, follow
the sage of shirtmaking, Karl
Lagerfeld, who obviously shops
on Jermyn Street. His reputed
shirtmakers, Hilditch & Key, pride
themselves on their private
relationships.
Emmett
Emmett is another brand with
fashion-forward credentials,
with a modern slant on print
and experimental with fabrics.
Emma Willis
A more recent addition to the
Jermyn Street family is Emma
Willis, who sells bespoke shirts
made in a beautiful 18th century
house in central Gloucester.
Grosvenor
Lastly, Grosvenor, the latest
shirtmaker to the street, opened
their store this year and produces
limited runs for the keenly
individual dresser. Holders of a
Royal Warrant, they are a perfect
fit for St James’s.
Ready-To-Wear
Ever since the creation of ready-to-wear fashion in the late Victorian
era, St James’s has been the home to its high-end brands. Universal
to each retailer is a dedication to quality – because with quality
comes loyalty.
DAKS
London’s first was DAKS, which
celebrates its 120th birthday
this year and still sells from its
menswear concept store on
Jermyn Street. Their sartorial
values have kept them contemporary throughout the generations.
Dunhill
Another heritage brand is Dunhill.
Originally selling ‘everything
but the motor’ under the name
‘Dunhill Motorities’, the business
has grown into a luxury menswear
brand and London Fashion Week
headliner. For a sanctuary of
refined masculinity, look
no further than their Jermyn
Street shop.
Sunspel
Sunspel, established in
1860, introduced a first to
the UK ­– boxer shorts – and
their luxury standards are
manufactured in the same
Nottinghamshire factory. Duchamp
Duchamp’s hallmark of bold
colour and print, silks and velvets,
make them the contemporary
dandy’s tailor of choice from their
new flagship on Jermyn Street.
Barbour International
For life in the fast lane, Barbour
International’s flagship store
on Piccadilly is dedicated to the
motorcycling section of this
classic British heritage brand.
Boggi
Boggi delivers a flash of Italian
flair to St James’s, with stripped
back unfussy designs in famously
rich azures.
Tiger of Sweden
Following a philosophy of
‘a different cut’ that combines
traditional tailoring skills with
a strictly modern aesthetic,
Tiger of Sweden’s new UK
flagship store in St James’s sells
a range blending British punk with
Scottish tartan, woven on vintage
Victorian looms.
St James’s is the home of London’s menswear: it is a sartorial
sweetshop. But there is still space for some very special
womenswear retailers.
Womenswear
Probably the best women’s
hat shop in London,
Lock & Co. is right here
in St James’s
Fortnum & Mason
Make it past the sumptuous deli
and the chocolatier, and Fortnum
& Mason delivers the very finest
in luxury brands perfect for
exquisite tastes, and a sure-fire
very-special-gift destination.
Their jewellery department hosted
the British Fashion Council Rock
Vault initiative, and continues
to stock pieces from the most
innovative in the industry.
Duro Oluwu
For the chic and daring, Duro
Oluwu, ideally situated amongst
the art dealers of Mason’s Yard,
makes striking garments, cut and
coloured with a daredevil’s eye.
Tiger of Sweden
Tiger of Sweden produces
womenswear with the same
bold vision as their men’s range,
purveying expressive garments
with an edgy aesthetic manufactured by traditional process.
Lock & Co.
And let us not forget that probably the best women’s hat shop
in London, Lock & Co. is right
here in St James’s. Once a
favourite of ladies at the races,
a recent reappreciation has sent
the fashion industry into hysterics
– try and spot a fashion shoot
without a Lock & Co. hat in the
last past five years. Suffice to say
they typify St James’s: traditional
style reinvented.
St James’s must have the most prestigious and eclectic roll call of
shoemakers in London. Family run, independent, locally produced,
European, modern and traditional: St James’s is a wedge of paradise.
Shoemakers
European, modern and
traditional: St James’s is a
wedge of paradise
Tricker’s
Tricker’s, a Northampton familyrun business, plays with the
classic styles and upholds the
highest production standards.
Foster & Son
Foster & Son on Jermyn Street,
a small outfit with a big future,
hand-makes their shoes on site.
JM Weston
For shoes fit for a president, JM
Weston heels the French political
elite, and their shop mixes English
manners with Gallic eccentricities.
John Lobb
If time-honoured craftsmanship
is your thing, try John Lobb,
the established lynchpin of the
craft community in St James’s –
they’ve worked with the Royal
Family since the middle of the
19th century.
Loake
Or Loake, who, established in
1880, update their trademark
classic brogues with a fresh
twist each season and currently
hold a Royal Warrant.
Crockett & Jones
Crockett & Jones is another
popular choice, and their flagship
store stands proudly on 92
Jermyn Street.
Church’s
An international favourite,
Church’s produce a fabulous
form of ‘Brit luxe’.
Left Shoe Company
But if you are after genuine
modernity then Left Shoe
Company should be your
destination. A Finnish company
that designs made-to-measure
shoes using 3D scanning magic.
Small Goods
As the well-worn phrase goes, “God is in the detail”, and where else
but St James’s can you find finishing so sublime. Indeed such a
concentration of time-honoured specialists is a rare thing, and the
renewed appreciation garnered year after year, decade after decade,
speaks volumes.
Floris
Take Floris, a St James’s
perfumery and icon of the area.
Once the secret favourite of
Marilyn Monroe – she used an
alias to order packages to the
Beverly Hills Hotel – Floris is a
treasure trove of phials, lotions,
potions and ivory combs.
Founded in 1730, it is still in
the family after nine generations.
Swaine Adeney Brigg
Swaine Adeney Brigg is an old
hand at making the finest leather
products. They have supplied
the Royal Family with umbrellas,
Aston Martin and Bentley with
luggage, 007 with an attaché case,
and believe it or not, Harrison Ford
with bullwhips for ‘Raiders of the
Lost Ark’.
Osprey
Osprey opened their vast flagship
space on the corner of Regent
Street St James’s and Jermyn
Street to great acclaim this year,
furnished with the full range of
beautiful leather goods, including
their trademark belts.
D.R. Harris
D.R. Harris, the pharmacist to the
Royal Family and St James’s local
medicine shop since 1790, brims
with all-natural cosmetics and
grooming products.
Truefitt & Hill
Truefitt & Hill, another establishment for luxury grooming and
coiffing accoutrements, offers
the closest in-shop shaves in
St James’s.
Bates
Bates, a seller of hats since 1898,
has the full range of formal hats,
panamas, fedoras, trilbies and
tweed caps.
Nigel Milne
And for jewellery: Nigel Milne,
a small family enterprise on
Piccadilly Arcade specialises
in Victoriana.
Longmire
Longmire, an English manufacturer,
draws an international clientele
devoted to their fine cufflinks.
