Hilditch and Key Sizing

[GFH]

I just got a sale catalogue from Hilditch and Key. Do their shirts run true to size?

Only Alexander Kabbazz shirts run true to size. And Van Heusen also.

Based on limited experience (that is, just my neck size), I find the neck runs a little big. Depending on the maker, I typically wear either a 16 or a 16.5 inch neck. For H&K, I wear a 16.

My finances are not up to Kabbazz level yet. Hopefully in the future.

Sorry, I'm just bustin balls from another thread. H&K shirts are very nice. I find that they use a nice silky, thick cotton and their seams are clean and they do nice collars. I would say that they fit to size, with the chest and waist being a big too big for my tastes.

I wear a 15.5 or a 15, and in Hilditch it's the latter.

Is $105 per shirt a good price?? Based on what Ben Silver charges, I think it is.

My new H&K shirt's collar is a bit loose. Will it shrink a little bit when washed?

Yes, a bit tent like around the waist but very nice fabric, and a great collar.

My (limited) H&K experience is to order your sleeves two sizes long. If you're a 16-35, order a 16-37.

That's assuming air drying.

We will have their new Trim fit shirt as part of our Fall/Winter Dress Shirt collection. I assisted in the process of refining the fit of this shirt with many samples tried on.
The model is terrific and very much like our Aster shirts. I will take measurements tonight and post them tomorrow. The shirt is available in the Cadogan- Classic Collar, Two Button Cuff, No Pocket; Grosvenor- Classic Collar, French Cuff, No pocket; Connaught- Cutaway Collar, Two Button Cuff, No Pocket. We have ordered all our shirts in the Cadogan Model w/ Pockets.

Did you specify they be made in Britain?

Can you specify that? Ever since they dropped the "˜made in Great Britain' from their labels, I've been very curious as to how the construction is now. Just for reference, the last time I bought an H&K shirt was about 2 years ago.

No, tell me about this before I contact them.

Yes, please post, I am very eager regarding the upcoming collection. Will you carry 14.5?
