Peter England long-sleeved white shirt - smart and practical

Peter England longsleeved white shirts have been a popular product in the shop for many years, and we're pleased to have them available to buy online.

These Peter England shirts are a standard fit, with a top left chest pocket, placket front, and single cuff. They are cotton-rich (55% cotton, 45% polyester) with the advantages of being easily machine washable and needing only a light iron. We usually have in stock all sizes from 14.5 inch neck to 20 inch neck.

If you're looking for a classic white shirt that's perfect for the office with a suit or jacket, and just as good for casual wear with chinos or jeans, the Peter England shirt is a good buy. You are welcome to order securely online in the shirt section of this website, or you can give us a call in the shop on 01874 623613.
