Who we are Once upon a shirt, Nicholas Charles Tyrwhitt Wheeler (whilst studying Geography at Bristol University - we might add) had the notion that he could make a better shirt at better value than anyone else in the world!
He believed that all men; no matter their shape or size, where they may be in the world or their budget; should be able to own a Jermyn Street quality shirt.
A proper shirt.
A CT shirt.
That was over 3 decades ago and whilst Charles Tyrwhitt (it rhymes with spirit by the way) is still famous for proper shirts, these days we are about so much more than collars and cuffs.
Our purpose is to "make it easy for men to dress well".
We take care of a chap's entire wardrobe, providing stylish solutions for every occasion.
We make sure he gets what he wants, when and how he wants it.
Our spiritual home and flagship store is located on London's famous Jermyn Street.
Our Global Head Office is in London Bridge, whilst we also have an office in Manhattan to support our retail and online presence across North America, Europe and Australia.
Not forgetting our Distribution Centre and Contact Centre in Milton Keynes.
At Charles Tyrwhitt we believe in doing the right thing.
That means making our products properly and sustainably, making our business work for our people, our customers, and our suppliers and giving back to charity to support those in need.
We're taking a good hard look at our social and environmental impact, and always looking for ways to be better.
'I am Proud and Free to be me!'
When it comes to our people, we really do "Give a shirt".
Tyrwhitteers (our people) are a diverse, passionate and entrepreneurial bunch.
We enjoy a fun, engaging and rewarding culture, where everyone is empowered by our 3 BE-liefs which are; "BE the BOSS", "BE the CUSTOMER" and "BE the BEST".
