Cotton / Oxford
Cotton Oxford
Cotton oxford is one of the most recognized shirting fabrics in the world — the slightly textured basket weave (two warp yarns woven as one, then crossed with two weft yarns) gives a visible grain that softens with washing and develops character over time. It's the fabric of choice for button-down shirts, casual workwear, school uniforms, and any program where a slightly relaxed professional look is desired.
