Spring Preview

Spring Forward in Oxford Shirts & Shetland Crew Necks

While Spring has certainly not completely sprung, it's almost here! We are excited to introduce a fresh delivery of new season shirting and Crew Neck Shetland Sweaters, in stores and online. From classic Oxford Cotton Shirts to summer-forward Linens, we have you covered for all weather and occasions.

Warm wishes (literally),

Our signature Oxford shirts are an every day classic that can be dressed up or down, and layer perfectly with our Shetland Crew Necks for this season and beyond. Available in a variety of fail-safe blue, white and of course, stripes too. Made from a robust 190g Oxford cotton cloth, they are densely woven meaning the shirts get better with age and wear. All our shirts are pre-washed and feature softly constructed collars (either button down or spread so you can choose depending on occasion and mood) with real Mother of Pearl buttons. An instant classic and a forever friend, the classic Oxford shirt can be layered under suits and jackets or teamed with jumpers and jeans. Wear and repeat...

Shetland Crew Neck Sweaters in brighter spring hues of Coral Pink, Caspian, Aegean Blue & Mustard are a consistently reliable companion for between season wear. Lightweight yet warm enough to wear with or without a jacket. Team with our Oxford shirts and always have one handy...

Our winter edition of The Yarn is out now in our London and Cotswolds stores. Our third edition celebrates the season and we're delighted to chat to two of my favourite customers in this edition - Robin Lucas and Will Fisher from Jamb interiors.

Both have wonderful stories to tell about their past and present and how they bring style into the everyday and we loved photographing them in their worlds, wearing William Crabtree. We also look at how the humble pub has raised the bar - both in the city and country (with two of our faves conveniently located close to our stores); and spotlight local Cotswolds artists that adorn the walls in Stow-on-the-Wold.

We hope you enjoy your copy which will be shipped with every order and of course, available in store… while stocks last.
