Product and Approach
Ledbury’s shirts are made from fabrics sourced from Italian and European mills and feature construction details — 18 stitches per inch, split yokes, properly mitered corners — associated with higher-end English and Italian shirtmakers at a more accessible price point. The brand offers dress shirts in a wide range of collar styles, fabrics, and patterns, as well as casual shirts, chinos, and accessories.
Trible and Watson also operate Ledbury’s Richmond flagship and have built a direct-to-consumer business alongside select retail partnerships. The brand is regularly cited in GQ, Esquire, and menswear publications as a benchmark for American shirtmaking quality.
