About Joseph Turner
Joseph Turner began selling shirts in 1997 when, the onwer, as a regular wearer of business shirts, was becoming increasingly annoyed at the price one had to pay for quality Jermyn Street style shirts. Having a financial background, he was convinced that much of the grossly inflated price was paying for expensive retail outlets and boardroom salaries, rather than quality attire. Joseph Turner have since proved this to be true - hence the concept of selling exceptional shirts directly to customers, and passing on the savings.
Based in Yorkshire, with a heritage rooted in the textile industry, Joseph Turner have amassed a considerable knowledge of fine shirt making materials and the tailoring skills these require. The result is a collection of impeccable shirts for business and less formal occasions, together with a distinctive range of gentlemen’s accessories, all sensibly priced due to minimum overheads.
The Products
All Joseph Turner shirts are skilfully tailored from the finest pure two-fold cotton, as prized by world class shirtmakers for its silk-like feel. JT’s attention to detail is obsessive - from the single-needle stitching and four-piece split yokes to the two-piece interlined collar and lock-stitched buttons. In fact, you’ll find all the features you’d expect in a luxury shirt, except for one - the surprisingly keen price.
The same obsession with detail and quality also goes into Joseph Turners collection of gentlemen’s accessories, from pure Italian silk ties and cashmere jumpers to English-made leather shoes. Whenever Joseph Turner add to their collection, it is always the result of a painstaking search for the best supplier who can achieve their own standards to provide exceptional quality at sensible prices.
Finding the shirt for you should be easy - with a wide range of fabrics, a dozen size combinations, a choice of double or single cuffs and the option of a breast pocket, you can be sure of a shirt tailored exactly to your needs.
