charles tyrwhitt

Founded by Nicholas Wheeler in 1986 from his university dorm room, Charles Tyrwhitt (pronounced 'Tirrit') is a British menswear retailer that began with the simple goal of making a better shirt. Rooted in the traditions of London's Jermyn Street, a hub for quality shirtmaking, the brand built its reputation on well-made dress shirts, offering a wide variety of collar styles, cuff options, and fits. Over the years, the collection has expanded significantly to include suits, blazers, knitwear, chinos, and accessories, evolving from a formalwear specialist into a comprehensive outfitter for the modern professional's entire wardrobe. The brand's core purpose is to "make it easy for men to dress well," combining timeless British style with a commitment to quality and value. Charles Tyrwhitt has successfully navigated the shift toward business-casual attire by introducing more casual options and technical fabrics. While primarily a direct-to-consumer business with a strong online presence, it also operates physical stores in the UK, US, and France. The brand has also started to focus on its environmental impact, partnering with Planet Mark to measure and reduce its carbon footprint and implementing a shirt recycling program.
