What to know about Charles Tyrwhitt
Non-iron dress shirts, sold in bundles
The core product is the non-iron cotton dress shirt, typically priced in multi-buy bundles rather than as single pieces, which sets the brand's value proposition.
Mail order first, Jermyn Street later
It started in 1986 as a mail-order shirt company and only opened a Jermyn Street shop in 1997, so the direct-to-customer catalogue and web channels came first.
Full wardrobe built around the shirt
Beyond shirts there are ties, suits, knitwear, chinos, casual shirts, shoes and accessories, sold through its own UK and US stores as well as online.
