Charles Tyrwhitt Shirts Limited (/ˈtɪrɪt/ TIH-rit),[3] also known as CT Shirts, is a British multi-channel men's clothing retailer specialising in dress shirts, ties, suits, casualwear, shoes and accessories.[1]
It was founded as a mail order company in 1986 by Nicholas Wheeler while he was a student at the University of Bristol:[4] Wheeler has stated that he started the business because he thought he "could make a shirt better than anybody else".[3] In 1997, the company opened its first store on Jermyn Street in London, notable for its history in British shirt making.[5]
Wheeler's wife, Chrissie Rucker, is the founder and owner of The White Company.[6]
