Elgar Shirts

Elgar Shirts is a British clothing brand founded and run by identical twin sisters Catherine and Jane Elgar. They are small-scale producers who create a distinctive range of garments in the UK, drawing inspiration from historical clothing and its construction. Their passion for beautiful natural fabrics and functional detailing is evident in every piece they make, with each garment designed to suit the needs of 21st century wearers. The sisters base their patterns on historical styles, adapting them to fit modern tastes and lifestyles. They carefully source quality fabrics that feel lovely and are built to last, ensuring their products wash well and retain their appearance over time. As experienced makers, Catherine and Jane have returned to doing what they love, steadily expanding their range and refining the styles they offer. Elgar Shirts specialises in garments made from the best quality natural fabrics, which feel far superior to those found on the high street. Their designs stand apart from mainstream fashion, appealing to those who appreciate artisan-made clothing and individual style. The brand offers standard sizes from XS to XXL for both men and women, aiming to fit a wide range of shapes and sizes. When necessary, they also provide make-to-measure options for a perfect fit, with detailed size guides available on their website and individual product pages. Personal service is a key part of the Elgar Shirts experience. They welcome special orders, allowing customers to choose from available fabrics or request custom features. Their approach is friendly and attentive, reflecting the care they take in serving their customers. Stock items are posted out immediately via Royal Mail, with made-to-order pieces typically taking up to two or three weeks to cut and make. Pricing is affordable, with overheads kept low to ensure their products remain competitive with other quality UK retailers. Prices range from £30 to £99, plus postage and any additional costs for special orders. Elgar Shirts sells online and also attends re-enactment and steampunk events, connecting directly with customers who value unique, well-made clothing.
