Hawes & Curtis Reviews 

I've ordered shirts from this company a few times over the year. I've always found them to be quick delivery, packaged well and the shirts are of good quality and fit.

I don't understand the bad reviews because my experience has always been a positive one.

Fraudulent product marketing.

Products listed as cotton and machine washable are not. The cotton retracts causing an ugly pattern that cannot be smoothed out.

Secondly, when buying the product, multiple prices exist depending on whether you select a sponsored link through the internet web browser, instagram or directly from email which make no sense

AVOID this TERRIBLE company purporting to be an upmarket one.
My experience of any refund and postage is non existent and difficult
I still await a refund .
Avoid at all cost

This store is horrible. once you order you don't have any customer service. you cannot return any item back unless you do it at your expense or pay them the shipping fees to be deducted from your returns. Do not buy anything from this store. one you will spend a lot of money, two you will never be able to return something unless you pay to return, third you will sit on the phone or their online chat room for hours to return the item even if you are willing to pay the return charge. every time you are on the phone they put you on hold for so long and say no tech support available now and disconnect the phone. not worth. please do not spent any of your hard-earned money on this store.

I placed an order for a shoe size that was available on the website. The order was placed successfully and I paid the full amount including shipping. For the next 5 days I receive no communication from them about shipping. I tried to call them only to find out that no agents are available to attend the call multiple times. That was helpless. Then I emailed them and didnt hear back anything for 2 days. Then I used the AI chat bot on their website and it told me there was some problem with my order. After that I hear back saying sorry we didnt process your order as the item was out of stock. They have a shit online customer service and shit communication manner. I needed the shoes for an important event and now my plans are messed up because they failed to communicate in time that the item was out of stock. Like why allow me to place that order in the first place?

I am completely shocked by my experience with Hawes & Curtis.
I made a purchase from the Netherlands during Black Friday 2026 – everything seemed fine.
The order was completed and paid for.

After an entire week of silence, without the product being dispatched, I was informed that the order had been cancelled and that I would receive a refund in the coming weeks. No explanation, such a blunt and negative experience. It’s a shocking customer experience.
I will never buy from this website again.

Edit following up H&C reply below
The payment did not go through due to an error on their side — the amount is still withdrawn from my account, and my bank confirmed that the merchant has not claimed the payment, hence they will revert the payment in the next days. No one has explained why the order was not completed.
They are asking me to place the order again, but now that Black Friday is over, everything I had purchased is no longer on promotion. At the very least, H&C should offer me the same items again under the same conditions as before, since the order was not finalized due to their (or their partner’s) processing issue — but they aren’t doing that.
I’m honestly speechless.

I ordered a pair of trousers and a shirt. I received the shirt only. The trousers had somehow gone out of stock between my ordering them online and the shirt being delivered four days later. I ordered during a sales period. H&C don't allow cancellations of orders during sales. I will have to wait for the trousers to come back into stock with no indication of when that might be.

As it happens I wanted to return the shirt I ordered. But the H&C online return portal doesn't recognise my details. I have emailed H&C customer service but am still waiting for a reply after some days. I now have to go into London and attempt to sort out the return in store.

For what it is worth, the shirt I ordered is well made and something I would otherwise wear - although I would take issue with the description of sizing on the website. But the onine experience is some way from an acceptable standard. I would struggle to recommend Hawes & Curtis when there are other similar retailers whose online services are so much better.

Follow up note - to be fair. H&C Customer Services followed up post here quickly and refunded me the cost of the trousers I never received. I have revised my review score from ‘one’ to ‘three’ as a result. I would like to stress that the shirt which did arrive was well made and good value.

Bought two sets of chino dyed chinos which look fab on my husband. Happy with service in Cardiff branch 4*. However, washed on a 30 and both have marks on and not wearable without a long shirt or jumper to hide this. Extremely disappointing that the quality is so poor when washing and looks like the dye has run.

Shockingly bad customer service - ordered my father's birthday present only to find no delivery - rang and was told by Customer Service package was delivered to local mental health support hospital . I embarrasingly walk up and down all the wards amongst some very poorly people and asked all receptions without sucess. Called CS again to be told i must now await an officlal Courier Investigation and pending the decision I would be contacted . First experience with these people and the attitude was appauling - they just dont care

Ordered a pair of loafers, only to be told 6 days later that the were out of stock and the order couldn’t be fulfilled without even an apology.

This is my first time ordering from this company and it will also be my last.

I have recently ordered some shirts of different colours and weaves, and have chosen to keep those I like and return the rest at the Edinburgh store.

The salesman initially refused a refund. (Note that the order was made within 14 days, and I didn't even open the package of the unwanted shirts.) After some communications, he reluctantly accepted to send my shirts to their distribution centre, and asked me to fill a refund form, writing the SKU number of each shirt and reasons of returns. He took away my corresponding dispatch note when I asked to keep it. There was no confirmation that the store has received my unwanted shirts.

While the shirts seem to be of good quality, it's a shame that your colleague has successfully turned me away from buying your shirts in the near future. I felt very unwelcome at the store, and I'd not consider going to your store except to return your shirts.

After the interaction, I sent an email to the customer service team about my concerns about my returns and the loss of my dispatch note, and I hope you will reply as soon as possible. I'd consider legal advice concerning your colleague on behalf of your company attempting to break your Terms & Conditions regarding returns as stated in your website, as well as his rude behaviour. I'm also considering returning the rest of unopened shirts within 28 days of purchase due to the poor customer service.

Edit 27/11/2025 in response to the reply: Thank you for your reply. I have received your email regarding my returns. I really hope any transactions could be clearer. For example, I should get a written confirmation that the store has taken my returned items, and a receipt once the return and refund is accepted, stating what I have returned, and the remaining products I've bought, ideally in a PDF format.

Fabulous service and professional even when under pressure and busy, wish more shops were like this ;)))
156 Oxford street branch you need to clone the manager, what a multi tasker !!
🤲🏾🤲🏾

Probably an insult to Primark, who don’t pretend to be premium.

Foolishly, earlier this year, I decided to buy a multi-buy shirt offer from this company instead of Charles Tyrwhitt - my usual go to. I wore three of the shirts I bought; and each was uncomfortable.
The material made me itch and the fitting was weird.

i thought they might improve after washing, but there was no difference.

I took up the quality issue with customer services, who after many emails explained that “it was not a quality issue.” I will stick to CT in the future and have outlined the descriptions of the shirts in case it’s helpful. Slim fit Black formal shirt, Slim fit Navy shirt and Slim fit Green & Blue check. I have decided to donate the unworn shirt to charity.

The store advertised trousers as in stock and so i bought the trousers as well as a £25 shirt and paid the £5 delivery cost as the £5 delivery seemed worth is for an £80 order. I seperately made a £185 order the following day.

Customer service reached out saying that the trousers are actually not in stock and that i can select a trousers or equal value as a replacement or they can refund my order. As they had no replacement trouser in my size of equal value i requested a refund of my entire order as a £5 delivery cost does not justify a £25 shirt (especially when competitors offer free delivery). Customer service informed me that theyve already dispatched the shirt and they wont refund the delivery cost.
Surely you should contact the customer prior to delivering part of the order if you dont have items in stock.

I will now be returning my shirt as well me entire second order out of principle and not shopping at this company again (also reading the reviews im concerned about the quality of the products).
Its a shame that the company is happy to lose a customer and have a £200 plus order returned for a £5 delivery cost especially when theyve made the mistake.

Avoid this store

Edit: the below response from hawes and curtis is evident of my experience with them. They do not want to even acknowledge my complaint of the delivery charge in their response. Why even respond if youre going to ignore the complaint

I live in the USA and am starting to find it difficult to find updated traditional style clothing for both work and casual wrear. I discovered H&C over the summer and have purchased Merino Sweaters, Dress Shirts and Corduroy Trousers. So far everything has exceeded my expectations. Only issue, not C&H's fault, are the tariffs that my country has imposed and that C&H has to collect.

Avoid at all costs. Very cheap material used at high price. Purchased two suits. The trousers for one suit ripped within 2 weeks of wearing them. Contacted customer service and was informed it’s of warranty.

Not to mention the delay in coming back to me.

Poor all around.

I visited the new store in bluewater today, lovely store and an excellent display, i was served by David,who was fantastic, and i knew straight away he knew his trade, i bought 4 shirts and a overcoat, thankyou David and all the staff.See you again soon.

Poor quality ties. You have to return at your own expense. Avoid!

Bought two no iron shirts they have ripped in sleeve after three weeks and they won't refund or replace made in third world rubbish

I ordered on the 5th of September, and my package still has not arrived. I emailed them, but responses are taking forever. The last update on the tracking site is from the 9th of October, which states that the item is out for delivery and has cleared customs, while simultaneously saying I have to pick it up at a pick-up point—which conveniently does not state where that pick-up point is.

The tracking company itself is useless; all I get is a bot on their chat and website, and there is no email or phone number provided.

Issue is resolved bu ti wish that in future there will be better delivery in that if a customers puts an address thats where the item should be delivered and not to an arbitary post office
