The Blue Oxford Shirts We Keep Coming Back To

There is a reason the blue oxford shirt has been part of serious men's dressing since before most of us were born. It sits in exactly the right place between formal and relaxed, takes a collar pin as well as it takes a popped collar, and looks as considered under a blazer as it does tucked into chinos on a Saturday. The fabric has texture. Texture matters. A plain blue poplin is a different shirt making a different statement, and it is not this one. What we keep noticing is how much variation exists within a category that looks simple from a distance. Collar roll, placket width, the weight of the cloth and how it handles a wash. These things separate the shirts worth owning from the ones that look fine once and fade into the back of a closet. We have been particular about this collection. Every shirt in here has earned its place, and the blue oxford is too good a thing to get wrong.
