This week to make up for a summer holiday sized gap in Shirt of the Weeks I have a shirt with a difference -you can actually own this one. Yes I’m selling some of my ready to wear samples. They are all the same make as my bespoke ones, in all the top fabrics and they are a super bargain price of £50! What’s the catch ? There are only 1 of each size – so you have to be quick.

The first one is an Alumo Supraluxe stripe, if you look very carefully you will see that I have used two stripes, the collar and cuff is very slightly different. Also one of the most popular Liberty prints Capel,  is in the collar band and under the cuff. As this was a sample I crammed it with features…the collar is a mini cutaway and this is continued in the cuff which is a turnback with a twist, only 2″ deep instead of the normal 2 and 3/4″ cuff.

Now for the vitals – it is a standard 16″ collar, slim fit, but not skinny, I made it so it was slimmer than a traditional Jermyn Street shirt. It’s totally unique and on sale for £50…(don’t forget bespoke is £180 so this is a way to own a Made in England luxury shirt without the hefty price tag)

If you are interested in owning this shirt drop me an email – shirts@lucyadams.co.uk – it’s first come first serve. You can pay via Paypal or credit card.

I’ve been sorting out my sample cupboard and will be posting more special buys in the next couple of days including shirts for ladies, ties, and maybe even a shirt dress or two…

It’s all go here, making sure all the shirts are ready before the summer holiday! Here is my latest shirt of the week. Annoyingly my lovely new iPhone camera added these extra shading stripes to the shirt which aren’t actually there! I was testing it out but I think I’ll go back to the old fashioned normal camera in future..

It’s a pale pink and white stripe from Alumo with the pink thread carried through on the button holes. It’s a fantastic summery shirt, note the edge stitiching on the collar and cuff, the customer wanted a ‘sharp’ look and this is the way to achieve it, it adds a certain crispness to the collar especially when open.

This is one from earlier this year, I chose it because it has a few of the features that people often request to achieve a more ‘bespoke’ look. Note the slightly darker buttonholes and the James Bond cuff to show off the Liberty print.

This is an Alumo Supraluxe cloth which is a 2 fold 120, it comes in a huge array of colours and these minor details lift an otherwise plain poplin shirt.

This week’s shirt is an Acorn fabric, which I tend to steer clear of as everything I ever need is always out of stock, but I already had some of this Malham, and it is a nice cloth, the black self stripe gives it a more interesting look, breaking up the plain poplin.

Inside the collar and cuffs is another SS10 Liberty print, called Yasmine’s Poppies, the dark pinks and purples set off the black really well, and the big pattern is a bit different from the usual microfloral look.
