We love the late-fifties/early sixties Ivy League vibe of cotton oxford cloth. This one's beefy but not rough, with just the right amount of heft to it, and while you really can't go wrong with oxford, it's especially suited to a button-down or band collar. It's also the sort of fabric that can start its life as a dress shirt and finish as a sport shirt — because the more you wash it, the more you wear it, the more you knock around in it, the better and softer it'll get. (NB: For all of our oxford cloth, Sid recommends selecting the sport/unfused collar option, no matter how you plan to wear it. The fabric has enough structure that it doesn't need interlining in the cuff or collar, which is included with our MTM dress shirts.)
