It has been twenty years since Emma Willis opened her elegant, eponymous shop on Jermyn Street. Ever since, the shirtmaker has adhered to traditional English shirt making techniques, using such sumptuous materials as Swiss and West Indian Sea Island cottons, linens and brushed cottons to create her distinctive shirts.
Now, as we experience some of the hottest weather the UK has ever known, it’s imperative that you have a cooling capsule collection that will keep you looking smart enough for the office — even in a heatwave. And, heading straight to the top of our must-have list is this exquisite Emma Willis brushed cotton shirt. Hand cut and finished in Emma Willis’ Gloucester Factory using single needle stitching and real mother of pearl buttons, this luxurious shirt is made with a softer collar lining, flat front and rounded button cuff.
GJ says:
“As one of Jermyn Street’s preeminent shirtmaker, the Emma Willis brand embodies the philosophy of British-made — something we value incredibly highly. Each of her shirts are lovingly brought to life in the brand’s Gloucester factory, Bearland House; a bastion of historic, heritage craftsmanship.”
