Thomas Pink: What the Cosmopolitan Business World is Wearing

Thomas Pink was founded in London in 1984 by two Irish entrepreneurs. The first Thomas Pink store was in the borough of Chelsea, London. In 1989 the label finally hit a store in the much sought after Jermyn Street, where other high-end shirt makers are based. Using only the most expensive fabrics and finest cuts the luxurious line is the talk of the stars.

Today, Thomas Pink is London's most successful Jermyn Street shirt maker. Pink has a luxurious reputation with stores in the UK, US, Europe and Far East. Using only the finest cottons, Thomas Pink has created ties, shirts, cufflinks and accessories that are exquisite. Over the years, the label has created The Commuter Tie, which is a bright pink silk tie with a built in pocket in the back, expertly constructed to hold the iPod nano. The business and casual aspects are dazzling for both men and women.

A must have for all men would be the textured cotton dress shirt. Thomas Pink has designed some of the most unique patterns that stand above the rest. Some designers can be so dramatically trendy, but not Pink. They subtly add pattern and color so even the timid man can feel more confident. NY Magazine has called Pink's wardrobe a "mainstay for cosmopolitan businessmen." The Marcella, the company's best-selling evening shirt, is made of white Egyptian-cotton piqué and is offered in both wing and spread-collar with French cuffs and four studs. Askmen.com rates the Thomas Pink men's dress shirt 8 out of 10 for the 'Wow Factor'. That is impressive boys!

The tailored Cameila stripe women's shirt is definitely full of spunk. Exclusive for summer 2007 this vibrant classic adds floral touches as well as inside cuff and neck. It is a shirt that is both astonishingly comfortable and distinctly Pink. Not only is this shirt one of their most popular in the UK, but it is selling quickly in the U.S., too. The traveler shirts were recently introduced. This two fold garment includes a special finish to reduce creasing, a hidden inside breast pocket and a secret pocket built into the cuff to conceal a credit card. Now that is the secret to a mainstream shirt!

To the average person in America the prices of these shirts may seem high, however, they are genuinely made to last forever. The quality of the material is evident in every shirt and tie made. You can shop online or in the stores and the satisfaction you gain will be amazing!
