Frequently
Asked Questions
Company
Who are you guys?Check out our About Hugh & Crye page. The short version: a couple guys that call Washington, DC (and its boroughs of VA and MD) home.
Why shirts?Well, it truly started with a need - we couldn't find shirts that fit and were reasonably priced. Beyond that, we do see the modern dress shirt as the single most important garment in a man's wardrobe. Learn more about our amazing shirts.
Where are you located?In the heart of Georgetown in Washington, DC: 3212 O Street NW #5. Let us know if you'd like to stop by! Email service@hughandcrye.com, or call 202-250-3807.
Do you have retail locations?Yup, here in Washington, DC. Come visit us in our studio.
Who are your models?Our friends. Regular guys, that have never modeled before and happen to be photogenic. They're good people, and we see them as an extension of our brand.
Product/Design
What types of fabrics do you use?We try to source the best cottons for our shirts, and that's mostly from Italian mills. Two-ply long-staple 100% Egyptian cotton, in 100s, 120s and 140s (yarn count). Happy to tell you why this is important, just send us a note: info@hughandcrye.com. Also check out the Anatomy of a Hugh & Crye Dress Shirt
Where are your shirts manufactured?We manufacturer all over the world; our shirts are primarily manufactured in India using Italian cottons. We're big fans of Made in the USA, but until we can make the economics and production needs work, we'll have to stick to producing elsewhere. We haven't given up on it yet though!
How should I care for my Hugh & Crye shirt?We're glad you asked! Check out our recommended care instructions. And please feel free to give us a call or email if you have any questions at all.
Are your shirts wrinkle free?All of the fabrics we use have been treated at the textile mills for 'easy care'. This just means that they should be easier to handle after a wash - easier to iron, with less stubborn wrinkles. The higher the yarn count, naturally the more likely the shirt will wrinkle given it is a finer fabric. We don't use traditional "wrinkle free" treatments that are popular with other brands such as Brooks Brothers because it involves heavy chemicals that are harmful to the environment and the people that handle them. Learn more about our approach to responsible sourcing.
I have long arms... will your shirts fit me?We have every reason to think so. Check out the way we approach fit, and if you have any questions at all, give us a shout.
Do you have shirts for women?We're super focused on menswear at the moment. That said, we're always listening to our customers, and should there be a need for women's shirts (or any other product for that matter), we will do our best to bring them to market.
I want to gift a friend...Awesome. Check out our gift card.
