Having shopped at Charles Tyrwhitt for years, I liked the Better Cotton Initiative and thought I’d try H&C shirts.
The shirts are good but the company and communication are awful.
I had no emails during the return/exchange process to confirm what the details of the exchange were, and I’m now stuck where I don’t know what the status is. Live chat won’t respond and the customer service line is clearly not staffed appropriately.

Really not what it used to be

Really not what it used to be. Pussybow Olive shirt material so thin and stitching so basic barely holds shirt together. So unlike a blue one I bought 2/3 years back. Certainly not the same quality of shirts I used to buy from them 15 years ago. They might have offers in from time to time but what’s the use when quality so poor. Primark can churn out same level and better!

Good support - low quality

I was please with the fitting support in-store. However, I was surprised to see that the 100% cotton shirts are so thin and wrinkle so easily. I will try other suppliers.

After ordering shirts for 400+£

After ordering shirts for 400+£, I made an error with one shirt being the wrong size, instead that the support would easily offer me an exchange as any other shop, they only allow a refund and asked me to order the shirt as a new order, which all-around would cost me additional 55 £ (10 return, +45 for ordering one shirt at a single price for 75£). This is not how I expect a qualitative shop to react.

Non Delivery but charged

I have ordered many times from H&C. But this particular order was never received. The photo shows it has been left against a white wall with no door number visible. I did not sigh for it. Why am I charged for postage if care cannot be taken to deliver safely. The request for redelivery has been rejected. I can assure you this will be last order from me to H&S

Absolutely absurd customer service

Absolutely absurd customer service. My order hasn’t moved in 10 days and they’re refusing to honor their published terms of service providing the right to cancel the purchase contract up to 14 days from product receipt. They use a faceless 3PL with no direct contact for international fulfillment and every customer service interaction ends with them “notifying” Global-E and absolutely nothing happening. I’ve honestly never had such a disappointing customer experience with an e-commerce brand. If you’re an international customer and your purchase is a need more than a want, look elsewhere.

Horrible customer service

‼️First and LAST TIME EVER BUYING
Faulty product, horrible customer service – demand my refund (Order 3495933)

Review:
Order number: 3495933

I ordered a white fitted shirt from Hawes and Curtis on 29 April 2025. When it finally arrived after a week, the shirt was stained with black mould and completely unwearable.

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. This shirt clearly breaches those legal requirements. I am entitled to a full refund.

When I contacted customer service, I was treated appallingly. Instead of apologising or resolving the issue, the agent accused me of potentially making a fraudulent claim — an insulting, baseless suggestion. Horrible customer service, no respect for loyal customers, and absolutely no ownership of their mistakes.

I have formally demanded a refund and expect them to arrange collection immediately, given that I am a disabled customer and cannot return the item myself.

This company shows no care for customers and no responsibility for the quality of what they send out.
Disgraceful experience — avoid!

Thank you for leaving a review with us, and we are truly sorry for the experience you had with your recent order. We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to receive a faulty item and to feel let down by our service.

We acknowledge that we should have handled this matter better from the outset, and we sincerely apologise for the distress caused. We have since fully refunded your order, and we are reviewing this case internally to ensure this does not happen again.

Customer satisfaction is incredibly important to us, and your comments have highlighted areas where we clearly need to improve. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Waist of time

You have to follow up for the items to be shipped, you have to follow up for the return to be done as late delivery.
You just have to do tell them what to do at all time otherwise your money will only be taken. Very poor online channel.

Very poor. Delivery promise from the 90s...

Probably the slowest dispatch from an online retailer. If Hawes & Curtis want to be taken seriously they need to up their operational capabilities. Total lack of comms. Very poor response when questioned on the delays.

Terrible customer service

Items went out of stock after I purchased them. Customer service gave me 4 days to respond with replacement choices but didn't send me the email. When I replied within a day of receipt of email, they said they couldn't help. No offer of a voucher or anything as I won't be able to take advantage of multi buy offer without buying another 4 shirts. Really unacceptable.. feels like talking to a computer

Primark quality with a premium price tag

On the surface a lot of the Hawes and Curtis products look good. They're unfortunately very low quality. One suit jacket I bought has started to lose its inner lining after just one month (the stitching has failed), and I had a button pop off a waistcoat I bought during the first day of wearing it.

On top of this, the returns process has been a bit shambolic, they don't restock, and the in-store experience I've had is mixed if I'm being very kind. Let me give an example of one return process: I ordered a suit, the jacket fit but the trousers didn't. I returned the trousers to exchange them, but they paid me a refund instead. They now (still) don't have any of the trousers in stock (after months) and I'm stuck with one half of a suit, well outside of the return window. And guess what? It's the jacket that is losing its stitching.

Overall very unimpressed. Gave them a good chance across a bunch of products, but can safely say you're much better off buying a suit off the peg from M&S.

Great service from Fatima in the London…

Great service from Fatima in the London Stratford store recently. I needed a dress shirt for my tuxedo and Fatima was straight to the options. I tried a couple of size guide shirts and knew where I was for a fit. She was warming chatty, attentive but for clearly read I was there for what I needed and didn’t look to be pushy to up sell. When I tried a jacket she was helpful, informative and balanced on selling with the positives. The fit was there but I wanted to think about the jacket and Fatima was appreciating to that unlike some sales reps. The shirt looked and fitted great for what I needed and comfortable service would encourage me to go back.

Doesn’t feel like a size 12

I ordered a “Pink Cotton Stretch Fitted Shirt With Concealed Placket” in a size 12, I am not able to wear this shirt as yet as it is to tight around my bust, although its a stretch material, I wanted it for work and do not feel comfortable with the way it looks gaping between buttons

Terrible Quality

Purchased 4 shirts, all bobbling and shedding fabric within 3 months.

Customer service have insisted that this is not a quality issue - their resolution is for me to buy a pilling comb and be more careful with what I wear the shirts with.

Given I wear the shirts with a Hawes & Curtis suit the latter advice is particularly confusing.

Safe yourself the hassle go to TM Lewin or Charles Tyrwhitt.
