Ledbury dress shirts

[wayne-sf]

They are made in Poland. Very small white tag at the bottom of the shirt.

Their shirts are good quality. It's their customer service that is currently lacking. They seem to forget to refund the money when you do a return. This has happened to me twice now when I tried to make a return (once it took them 2 months and even then, they only did so when I contacted them and pointed it out). I thought it was very unprofessional. I wrote this e-mail to them (let's see what they say):

"I am writing this letter to Ledbury as a disgruntled customer who was once a loyal follower of Ledbury.
I bought numerous shirts from Ledbury in the past and have always been impressed with the shirt quality and the customer service.
This changed recently. I had a different e-mail associated with Ledbury and I had a 20% OFF that was associated with that account that I could use at any time. However, the code somehow became disabled from that account and I was not able to log in. So, I created a new account using this e-mail after a Ledbury representative was very rude and condescending with me.
What happened recently is I purchased a shirt, The Westewood Plaid Twill. I was not satisfied with the purchase and so I returned the shirt back to Ledbury. It's been 3 weeks since the return and I still have not received the money back in my account. Sadly, this is not the first time this has happened. In the past, Ledbury has made a mistake with a return and had not credited a return back to my account for over 2 months. I believe this is very bad practice and completely unacceptable.
Needless to say, I am very disappointed with my recent experience. Whereas in the past, I've recommended my friends to Ledbury because the service and shirts were always great, I can no longer say that.
I really hope that you guys can remedy this situation as I believe it's gone way too far.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you."

Let's see what they say. I believe it's truly been very unprofessional from their side and i hope they can correct this situation as I'm at the end of the rope with this company.

I have 2 tuxedo shirts from Ledbury - love them!

The owner did a presentation at my school for a class on start ups. One of our alums. He trained on Jermyn St., forgot which firm. Shirts are made in Poland. He was very knowledgeable and assured me that these shirts were on par with any shirt in the 200-300 dollar retail price range because of the lower overhead of not having a brick and mortar shop.

How do ledbury shirts compare to gitman in terms of materials, construction and value ?

I can't speak to their comparison with Gitman, but I really like the shirts I've got from them. Honestly, I like their pants even better. Probably my favorite place to get chinos from. That being said, I still think they've inflated their prices a bit much. Still wild to me that they don't get more play on here.

I have a slew of Ledbury shirts and love them, but I agree with @walkinginplace in that they are a little overpriced. They used to sit around the $120 mark, but now they are typically around $150-$200 and charge another $13 to shorten the sleeves. I still love their shirts, but I find myself buying from Proper Cloth a lot more these days.

Do you find the shirts made by proper cloth to be better constructed and use higher quality materials?

No, not really. I feel like they have held up equally. I just like the fact that I can have a more customized shirt with PC that fits even better than my Ledbury shirts and for a cheaper price. I still like Ledbury a lot though.

IMO, for the same price, the Ledbury fabrics are nicer but you'll get a better fit with Proper Cloth. That's the trade-off as I see it, YMMV.
