Blue oxford

Oxford is a popular cloth for casual shirts, synonymous with the American button-down polo. Oxford is a basket-weave cloth made up of tougher, more durable yarns and the result is a cloth that has a thicker and rougher texture, making it perfect for cooler climates.

What do 140s, 100s etc mean?
A common misconception is that the number refers to threads per inch. Actually, these numbers refer to the yarn size. The higher the number means the finer the yarn giving a smoother, lighter and silkier feel to the fabric. Fabrics with a higher thread count are more expensive to make with the 140s solidly placing in the luxury niche. Having said that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the lower thread count fabrics. These are often a prerequisite for certain fabrics such as a heavy oxford and often even preferred for the thicker feel they offer. They are more affordable and always a great choice for a casual shirt or even for a business shirt where a sturdier feel is desired.

We have made every effort to display fabric colours as accurately as possible. However the actual colour of your shirt may vary slightly to the fabric colour that you see on your screen, due to the different settings and display capabilities of monitors and smartphones. Additionally please note that each bolt of fabric is dyed individually and colours of the same fabric may differ from one order to the next.
