Hugh & Crye

Spoke with James about an order for my family’s portrait we thought it would be a fun idea to get new shirts for everyone from the same company. Boy we were wrong, not only does Hugh & Crye’s team represent poor management and communication to their clients, they are unable to fulfill large orders.
The order was placed early in the week to give enough time for the product to be shipped by friday, they put the order on hold because they didn’t want to ship out all the different sizes. If people need to consult with them for large orders they should tell consumers instead of wasting their time and money.
I will never do business with a company that has no idea how to run a business. I too am in business and for a 1000 $+ order you should have way better service.

I got a couple shirts for Xmas that were $ 75 a piece. The prints were cool and the fit is pretty good (I’m 5’10″ 170lbs, average skinny). However, after washing the shirts just one time, I realize that the quality of the material is not that great. The texture took on a thin, paper-​like quality. I’m not very impressed – I feel like I could get a better quality shirt for the price elsewhere.

Excellent products and customer service! shirts look very sharp. I know where I’m ordering my shirts from now on!

Happy guy here. Three perfectly fitting shirts that I love. It feels good to break free from the typical name brand stuff. You won’t regret shopping here! Fast, friendly, easy and perfect.

I’ve been a loyal Hugh & Crye customer for two years, and I own more than 12 of their shirts. I love these guys. I’ve always had trouble finding shirts that fit my slim build (even «slim fit» department store shirts look baggy), but Hugh and Crye’s average/​skinny shirts fit me perfectly. I haven’t tried their pocket squares or blazers, but I assume these products are of an equally high quality. You can shop online, but I highly recommend you visit the Georgetown office and say hello.
My only complaint is that the shirts can be a little pricey — typically around $ 80 full-​price. I generally only shop for shirts when they are on-​sale, but sales don’t happen very often.

Location: hard to find, tucked away underneath shops on O St. Keep looking, it’s worth it.
Staff: friendly and helpful
Shirt: amazingly good fit I couldn’t help but buy it with black Friday sale. I got the matsu in twill. However, recommend trying on in store if you can because some of the styles fit differently even in the same size.
Will buy moar.

Hugh & Crye was a disappointing experience today. I’d been to their website and looked forward to seeing the shirts in person. I’ve worn Bonobos clothes and thought the model was nice; I’m a fan of departing from the regularity of Jos A Banks, Brooks Brothers, and the other foundation shirt places, so I wanted to drop by and see what was up.
The space is very nice and trendy, the staff is helpful, but the product seems cheap. The shirts feel thin and rough, like the material is poor or low quality. It almost feels like throwaway clothes from a mall store; if I were into that, I might buy, but at $ 85 a shirt, I want something that feels good, has weight, and has the right cut.
(Needless to say, I find the statistical distribution of reviews suspicious — 26 5-​star reviews, 3 4-​star reviews, and zero reviews lower than 4 stars?)

I a a tall guy and have a pain finding cool dress shirts that fit, until I found Hugh & Crye.
Cool shop in Georgetown and it’s feels like you walked into the cool shirt club when you walk in… The staff is super friendly and know their product well.
I have already been back and will continue to.
GREAT SHIRTS WITH STYLE.

2^nd time back here at this store. Still a great group of guys running this place and it looks like they will be expanding with a new store in Shaw. Excited to check that out, but hoping they still keep the same personalized feel.
Bought a nice blazer here this time — great quality as well after trying the shirts.
They also have this great referral program which gives you 10 $ off an item if you use this link:

We went here to get a dress shirt for my husband for our upcoming wedding. The staff is very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, they don’t have all of their stock in store and it takes a while to special order, so we were limited in what colors we could choose. The shirt fit well and the groom loved it.
They also 3D print their own collar stays!

It’s hard for him to find anything that fits his tall, lanky body but you guys have fixed that. You’ve made my boyfriend’s already sexy body even sexier. He owns at least 10 of your tall and slim. He’s forgotten about his other shirts!

I am going to send all my guy friends to you. Amazing clothes and amazing service.
Carl Maynard is a great addition to your team!

When your sense of style has evolved past H&M but your pockets aren’t Brooks Brothers deep, check out Hugh & Crye.
To say Hugh & Crye is merely a men’s clothing store is sort of like saying the Paris is just a city or the Concorde was just a plane. For men, to have a place where you can get a shirt that fits, that will not disintegrate or fade after a handful of washes, and that is relatively affordable — that make Hugh & Crye special. Basically, they offer a new way to think about fit.
I don’t remember how I first learned about the store but I do remember going to the M street NW location to pick up the shirt I purchased online. They’ve since moved to O street with an actual store front. What I recalled most in the beginning is the unique way that they help you determine your fit. Instead of basing a shirt size on neck width, arm length and S, M, and L, they ask what type of man are you? Athletic, normal, big or tall?
Calling Hugh & Crye an upscale men’s store isn’t quite right. It’s more of a re-​framing of what it means for a man to dress «responsibly». While most shirts cost more than $ 80? Yes, but in exchange, a man will get that «one good shirt» that works for the first date or the interview; the wedding or the funeral; bat mitzvals or billiards. Moving past just shirts, they now include classic blazers, ties, lapel pins and pocket squares. If they start making full suits, I’ll go broke.

First place like this I’ve come across. A new startup in a similar vein to internet savvy Charles Tyrwhitt and Bonobos, this place offers upscale men’s clothing (shirts and sport coats) at a reasonable price and a great overall value. Although they’re online, and I imagine do most of their business that way, being in DC they’re local, which is a nice touch.
The shop is tucked away in an alley below street level on O street and pretty basic; a working showroom with stock, a bit of seating, mirrors, and an internet terminal… and a 3D printer for collar stays. Quirky but cool. Both folks I interacted with were very helpful and clearly enjoyed the work. its a new enough business that I get the sense that they’re founders or some of the first employees.
The clothing comes in a broader range of sizes than S/​M/​L, (short athletic, tall skinny, fill in a matrix with the options in-​between and you get the idea). Nice fit for someone like me, who’s short but not exactly skinny, lol.
My experience was limited to a sport coat, which seems to be well constructed, fits great, and does so at a price that I could kind of match, but not beat, for similar outlet mall off the rack sport coats. Again, this is for what to me (and according to girlfriends 2^nd opinion) is a superior fit and first rate feel.
Look forward to checking out their other stuff when its time for a new shirt.

This is a very charming store located in a back ally of Georgetown that fills a much needed niche in men’s fashion. My husband has trouble finding shirts off the rack that fit him properly (they’re always either too long, too roomy, or the arm barrels are too wide), and we were looking for a local store so that we could hopefully wean him off of custom-​made shirts.
We were greeted by the Bradley Cooper-​esque James (I believe that was his name), who was very friendly and helpful in finding the right size and fit for my husband. The shirts definitely fit his frame much better than any other off-​the-​rack shirt that we’ve tried, with a cut that actually fit his torso without falling way too low below his belt line. The sleeves were also more narrow than most of the boxy shirts you find elsewhere, and the sewing appears to be of high quality.
Being a little picky with patterns and designs, the only thing I would have liked to see is a little more variety, as their patterns seemed to be on the conservative side. Also, keep in mind they do not actually have a dressing room but a workspace/​warehouse in the back of the store, which has windows facing the ally (although the racks of shirts cover most of the view). I imagine it’s not a big deal as it is a men’s shirt store, but something to keep in mind for the extremely modest or shy.
The sleeves were still a little too long, but we were told that we could have them altered for about $ 15. Considering that the shirts are about $ 85/​piece, this will bring the price up to the three-​digit range. We left happily with two shirts. The shirts have not yet been worn/​washed, so we’ll have to see how they hold up. So far, I’d say a solid four stars, with potential for an upgrade if the shirts maintain their quality and size with a few washings.

Hugh & Crye provided a great and personal shopping experience for my husband. It was a great spot, tucked down a little side alley in Georgetown. The shirts look great so far and there were some really good looking shirts — will have to see how they wear as he washes them more. Reasonably priced for a dress shirt. Great spot overall for menswear.

Brooks is my usual shirt place, I’ve officially changed after one awesome experience at Hugh & Crye. First of all, it’s on the side of a building in a hidden location. You walk in and it looks nothing like you would expect. It’s some really cool hipsters, running a really cool clothing shop. They have clothes on racks and you find your size and they bring out the shirt. The clothes fit to perfection, the ties are simple and great and the pocket squares are really cool.
If you don’t have any fashion sense, go into this awesome store and they will help you out. I am so happy I stumbled upon this place!!!

After Brooks Bros all but stopped carrying my size, I remembered that I had heard about Hugh & Crye.
Sure, they don’t carry 15/​35s — but they do carry Tall/​Skinny shirts, and theirs fit me as well, if not better, than my old shirts.
Great fabrics, solid workmanship, good location, very good value, and friendly customer service.
I think I found my new source for shirts. Hallelujah!

I start buying shirts from Hugh & Crye 3 years ago. Over time, I’ve replaced my old dress shirts from J. Crew, Uniqlo and Banana Republic with Hugh & Crye shirts.
Why? Because of great fit.
Only Hugh & Crye has the combination of a slim torso and a wide neck that fits me; in their sizing lingo, that’s a «average/​skinny».
In terms of style, the colors range from classic solids to playful stripes — they cover the spectrum.
Furthermore, the customer service at Hugh & Crye is personal; they’ve helped me with my order whenever I had issues.

Update: They have a new cozy spot in Georgetown to where you can come in and try on the shirt of your dreams.
Boys, you no longer have an excuse. Go now.
