Our Big Tyrwhitt Milestones
Charles Tyrwhitt is the ultimate love letter to our founder Nick's obsession with dressing well. We've looked back at the moments that shaped us and made Tyrwhitt what it is today.
We think brass collar stiffeners are essential for a flawless shirt, so we include them for free.
We hit £1M in sales. We do help men look and feel like a million bucks, after all!
Nick starts to feel a little lonely, so we hire our first employee. No point rushing!
Quite honestly, we go through some hard times, and the business folds. But not for long...
Our first store opens on London’s iconic Jermyn Street. Nick’s dream really becomes a reality.
What is this thing called the Internet? We’re not quite sure, but we join the online club and launch our website.
Welcome to Madison Avenue, New York – our first US store.
We have a go at women’s and children’s clothes. Needless to say, it’s not our finest hour…
We see the light. We’re here to make it easy for men to dress well. Great quality. Great value. Great service. Foot to the floor!
And here we are. 40 years and counting. 120 stores globally and over 2,000,000 men with great taste wearing Tyrwhitt around the world.
40 at 40
A big birthday deserves a big celebration, a lot of appreciation and a little reflection. Nick shares some of his favourite-of-all-time products from the last 40 years.
“The first-ever Tyrwhitt child. I owe it everything! 40 years ago, I decided I wanted to create shirts that didn’t cost the earth, so we could help all men dress well - and the rest is history.”
The Original Twill
It's what we're known (and loved!) for. The Non-Iron Twill was our first-ever shirt, and paved the way for the rest.
“One of my favourite babies. When we first launched, we started off with the smallest numbers because we thought it wouldn’t do well. And now it’s our most beloved casual shirt. In short - trust your gut!”
Pure Linen
This one's a belter. A hot-weather hero and casual shirt bestseller, linen is the fabric to live in for all your days in the sun.
“If you’d have said to me 40 years ago we’d have something called a “Smart Polo”, I’d have said, “impossible”. But it really is an effortless dress up, dress down go-to. A refined take on a relaxed shirt.”
Lean into Smart Polos
We're not just smart! Our signature polo range has a whole host of colours, styles and sleeve lengths to pick from.
“I could live in these! Good job there are a whole big range of colours, with new seasonal shades always coming through. In the words of Luther Vandross - never too much chinos!”
The Ultimate Everyday Chinos
We've sorted the bottom half too. The comfiest, most versatile pair of trousers, with clever tech built in. Throw on and go.
“I love our cloud-soft Merino. All the colours, the styles. The Zip-Neck is what I wear the most because it feels so easy. Soft wool and a gently sporty, practical zip. What’s not to love?”
Refreshing Layers
Always be prepared with our fine yet effortless knitwear. Dress it up or down - we've got a jumper for every dress code.
“This is what it says on the tin, in the best of ways. Ultimate - a suit you can always rely on when you need to look your best. Performance - ready for anything.“
Jack of All Suits
We all know nothing beats a proper whistle and flute. As one of our first products, we've really perfected our range.
