The ones by New & Lingwood are both outrageous and outrageously expensive. I'm just looking for a discreet velvet and/or cashmere number. Any ideas gratefully received.

If you have a shirtmaker, they can make one for you.

If you're looking for RTW, any of the traditional British shirtmakers will have them, including Budd, Turnbull & Asser, and Emma Willis. Derek Rose and Zimmerli have some nice options, and larger "brand" shops such as Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren will be more affordable. Cheaper ones will always be cotton. I don't know if you can get away with a cashmere or velvet one without paying in the low four figures.

The Merchant Fox, which is the retail arm of Fox Flannel, has some nice Fox Flannel gowns made by Budd. And if you're looking for a gown with a quilted shawl collar, you can try Daniel Hanson. The more work that goes into the gown, the more labor and the more cost. So things such as quilted interiors or collars will also be pricey.

Oh, and my shirtmaker, Ascot Chang has some RTW.

I would like to add two data points.

First, Johnstons of Elgin have a wonderful cashmere, silk lined dark navy gown.


Second, I had the Fox Flanell one, done by Budd from London, but unlined it was itchy.

I used to buy Turnbull & Asser in cotton and silk, and still enjoy these and their boxer shorts, but I have all I need now. I used to be on their list and get their sale notices.
