Author Ian Fleming’s spy was a fervent wearer of shirts and neck-wear made by Jermyn Street’s Turnbull & Asser. 

Watch the James Bond movies closely and then visit their illustrious headquarters in Jermyn Street - around the corner from famed Savile Row - or their colonial outpost in New York opposite the Four Seasons Hotel to find the shirt and ties from the movies.

Other legends to have worn the cloth include Michael Douglas (in Wall Street as Gordon Gecko) and Heath Ledger, who sported a bespoke necktie in The Dark Knight.

Speaking of bespoke, Turnbull & Asser operates bespoke departments at two locations in London (plus one in New York), and has bragging rights for assisting real-life client Sir Winston Churchill. 

Bespoke shirt making involves some 18 measurements before considering over 1,000 fabrics, 25 collar and cuff options, custom collar linings, and 20 styles of monogramming.

Bonus tip: make a reservation at Jermyn Street dining classic, Wllton’s, over the road to celebrate your bespoke adventure.
