Wingfield makes one thing: an American shirt, cut to your measure, from cloth we can name.

The cloth

We start with the fabric, because it is the part almost nobody can tell you about. Ask most shirtmakers where their cloth was woven and the answer is a country, or a shrug. Ours is a town and a mill — Inman, Gaffney, Central, Stafford Springs, Bedford. American mills, several of them family-run since before the First World War, one of them founded only a few years ago to rebuild what the others still have. We choose the cloth first and build the shirt around it.

The name

Wingfield is a name out of an American textile family, three generations deep — people who spent their working lives around looms and cotton and the towns built on them. What came down with the name was a plain idea: that cloth and country are woven together.

Made to your measure

Nothing is cut until you order it. You choose the cloth, then the collar, the cuff, the front, the buttons and the monogram, and the shirt is cut to your measurements and sewn by hand at Gambert Shirtmakers in Newark, New Jersey — a family shirtmaker since 1933. About three weeks from your order to your door.

Single origin

Coffee tells you the farm. Whisky tells you the distillery. A shirt should be able to tell you the mill. Every Wingfield cloth carries a lot number, and the lot leads back to the loom it came off — the mill, the town, the hands. Where a fibre comes from abroad, we say so on the product itself rather than leave you to find out. Nothing here has to be taken on faith.
