Frequently Asked Questions
What is an 'Oxford' weave, and how does it differ from a standard poplin or dress shirt?
An Oxford shirt is woven using a basket-weave structure where multiple weft threads cross over an equal number of warp threads. This creates a slightly heavier fabric with a signature checkerboard texture. It sits more casually on the body than a smooth, silky dress shirt, making it the ultimate fabric for smart-casual, everyday versatility.
Will the button-down collar hold its shape, or will it flatten out under a jumper?
The collar is engineered with a structured, interlined collar stand and secured at the points with buttons. This ensures it maintains a beautiful, roll-like arch and sits proudly at attention, looking polished whether worn open-collared at a cocktail bar or layered beneath a crew-neck knit for Sunday lunch.
How do I launder this 100% cotton shirt to minimise creasing?
Machine wash the shirt on a standard cotton cycle at a cool temperature, then shake it out vigorously while damp to release any major wrinkles. Hang it on a hanger to air dry. Because of the structured nature of Oxford cotton, a quick iron while the shirt is slightly damp will effortlessly press it back to a crisp finish.
