Offering a range of products including shirts, suits, jackets, blazers, pants, shoes and accessories, Charles Tyrwhitt produces premium and affordable menswear with a touch of British style.
Now available in US retail stores and on CTShirts.com, Charles Tyrwhitt's 2019 Summer Collection provides light and comfortable options that are both practical for warm weather and up to date with the latest in business style trends. The collection's three core fabrics – Tyrwhitt Cool Cotton, wrinkle-resistant Linen, and eco-friendly Lyocell – provide comfort and flexibility in summer weather and feature a variety of products, including button-down shirts, jackets, pants and polos. "Over the last 12 months, we've seen a steady increase in men embracing modern business casual as more organizations relax the traditional dress code, so this became a key focus for our 2019 Summer Collection," said Spencer Riley, Head of Product Design for Charles Tyrwhitt. "Whether it's the 'Made in the Sun' Italian Linen jacket, the breathable Tyrwhitt Cool shirts or the Lyocell performance pants, this collection is equally at home in the boardroom and at a rooftop bar, making it easy for men to dress well and keep cool." Tyrwhitt Cool shirts are made with new, innovative 100% cotton fabric specifically treated to wick away moisture for a cool, dry and comfortable feeling: Soft-Washed Non-Iron Tyrwhitt Cool Shirt – This quick drying, lightweight and soft-to-the-touch shirt has Charles Tyrwhitt's signature non-iron finish. In 100% cotton poplin fabric, the shirt is smooth and exceptionally breathable. Soft-washed for a relaxed, casual feel, it is available in both long and short sleeves. ($69.00) Aircool Polo Shirt – A classic polo shirt with fabric-finishing technology to draw away moisture, it is knitted to a clean jacquard texture weave with natural stretch. Charles Tyrwhitt offers three vibrant summer colors with an updated collar for a clean aesthetic. ($55.00) Charles Tyrwhitt linen products are soft and lightweight, while also allowing air flow to the body: Italian Linen Jacket – This jacket is made from 100% linen, woven in Italy at solar-energy powered mill Nova Fields and tailored to a soft construction. Designed to look sharp with a relaxed fit, it is lightweight and breathable with its natural shoulder line and canvas. Available in Charles Tyrwhitt slim fit, the jacket comes in mid blue and olive. ($399.00) Easy-Care Linen Pants – These pants have the cool, breezy benefits of linen with the added convenience of Charles Tyrwhitt's easy-care finish – they are durable, easy to iron and have enhanced wrinkle recovery to maintain a clean and crease-free look. With a slim fit leg and pre-washed fabric for a soft feel and added comfort, these pants are permeable and highly absorbent, which allows moisture to evaporate quickly, providing a cool, airy feel. ($89.00) The Business Casual Non-Iron Cotton Linen Shirt – Made from two of the most breathable fabrics – 76% cotton and 24% linen – these shirts are lightweight and woven specially to create natural stretch for perfect fit, comfort and movement. With a linen feel, the non-iron finish prevents wrinkles and is ready to wear after washing and hanging for a hassle-free morning routine. Styled with no front pocket and a softer collar lining, it is available in slim and extra slim fit and comes in white, blue, blue stripe and red stripe. ($69.00) New to the Charles Tyrwhitt collection, Lyocell is an eco-friendly fiber produced from wood pulp harvested from sustainably managed forest. Natural Performance Pants – Made from a blend of cotton, lyocell and elastane for stretch, comfort and temperature regulation, the Natural Performance Pants are a business causal must-have. These pants are soft, durable and cut to a slimmer, more tapered fit for a refined, contemporary shape. A curved stretch waistband provides added comfort and ease of movement during wear, making them our most comfortable pants to date. ($119.00) Tencel Linen Casual Shirt – Perfect for the summer months, these shirts are crafted from 100% natural fibers for breathability and a soft feel. The combination of Tencel and linen creates a casual shirt with a marvelous drape for both a sophisticated appearance and comfort. It is made up of 53% Tencel and 47% linen, making it less prone to creasing than pure linen or a cotton-linen blend. ($69.00) Charles Tyrwhitt's 2019 Summer Collection, full of quality menswear items at affordable prices and a hint of British charm, is available today. Imagery can be found here.

AUGUSTA, Ga., April 9, 2019 /HalcyonTV/ -- TaxSlayer, a leading online and professional tax and financial company, is reminding America's taxpayers that the deadline to file for tax year 2018 is just days away. To be considered on time, returns must be submitted to the IRS no later than midnight on April 15th. People have their reasons for filing late in the season but waiting until the last minute is not without risk. For taxpayers with a tax liability, missing the due date means owing late filing penalties and interest. For those expecting a refund, it means additional time without the money they deserve. "Simple mistakes are easy to commit under pressure and can cause your refund to be delayed," says Nicole Lapin, personal finance expert and New York Times best-selling author. "Avoid tax-panic at the deadline and get pumped to fight for your money now." Filing an extension may be the answer for taxpayers that need a little extra time to get their documents in order. An extension allows taxpayers an additional six-months to file their return. But the IRS still expects taxpayers to pay their tax bill by the April deadline to avoid interest and penalties. Tips for Filing Last-Minute As tax season draws to a close, time is of the essence for anyone who hasn't filed already. Lapin has a few essential tips to help these individuals save time and ensure accuracy on their return. 1. Get organized. "You should have all of your forms and tax documents in hand by the end of February or mid-March at the latest. The sooner you file, the faster you can enjoy your refund," says Lapin "and the sooner you can check taxes off your to-do list." 2. File online. "Filing your taxes doesn't have to consume you. TaxSlayer makes the process quick and easy to understand, and you'll know if your return was accepted within just 48 hours," says Lapin. 3. Avoid rushed mistakes. "The tax laws changed this year. That means you could be eligible for more tax breaks than you realize," Lapin says. "Be thorough when you are entering your tax information. It's your money – you deserve every dollar." Tax Filing for the Gig Economy TaxSlayer knows that self-employed taxpayers, in particular, tend to file later in the tax season. To best serve the needs of the gig worker, the freelancer, and the small business owner, TaxSlayer's Self-Employed Edition comes with specific features, like one-on-one support from a tax professional, an exclusive guide to self-employment tax breaks, record-keeping tips, and tax filing updates year-round. Click here for TaxSlayer's Self-Employed Guide About TaxSlayer TaxSlayer makes life simpler and less stressful for millions of Americans with exceptional, easy-to-use technology. The company successfully completed more than 10 million state and federal e-filed tax returns in 2018 and processed $12 billion in refunds. TaxSlayer is highest rated for ease of use, speed of filing, best value and most trusted according to the 2017-18 American Online Tax Satisfaction Survey. Additionally, TaxSlayer is rated #1 in the tax prep software category among companies with 3,500+ reviews on Trustpilot. For more information, visit www.taxslayer.com. SOTHEBY'S SPRING 2019 HONG KONG SALES TOTAL $482 MILLION - Second Highest Total in Company History4/3/2019 Strong Overall Sell-Through Rate of 90%, with Competition Seen Across All Categories 35,000+ Visitors, 4,331 Lots Sold, 28 Records, 20 Auctions in Just 6 Days; Sales Attract New Generation of Buyers HONG KONG, April 3, 2019 /HalcyonTV/ -- Sotheby's (NYSE: BID) Spring 2019 Hong Kong auction series concluded today with a grand total of $482 million, exceeding the pre-sale high estimate for the series $300-428 million* and establishing the second highest total in company history, second only to Sotheby's landmark 40th anniversary sale total in Autumn 2013. The sales were marked by healthy activity across all categories and from all corners of Asia, with a strong combined sell-through rate of 90%.
"These superb results are up on what were already very strong results last spring, despite the fact that the estimates were lower than a year ago," commented Tad Smith, Sotheby's CEO, adding "our excellent performance against low estimate is a clear indicator of the health of the market in Asia and bodes very well for our important upcoming May auctions in New York." Kevin Ching, CEO of Sotheby's Asia, said: "With all eyes firmly fixed on our Hong Kong sales for this first indicative season, I think we can say that the Asian market did not disappoint. Our total follows what was already a record year for Sotheby's in Asia, with this season's results now sitting among the top results we have ever achieved here in Hong Kong – a testament to the fact that, when you get it right, collectors from across Asia remain ready to go the extra mile." Patti Wong, Chairman of Sotheby's Asia, said: "When building the sales for these big seasons, we try to keep our finger firmly on the pulse of our collectors so as to understand, not only what they want right now, but also where their interests are taking them, so our offerings reflect both where the market is and where it is going. That is why we are bringing an ever-more diverse range of material to Hong Kong, along with an ever-wider range of possibilities for collectors to engage with us. This, for me, is what is so exciting about these seasons – they are not only a data point for the Asian market, they are also testimony to the excitement, and opportunity, that exists within it."
