Type of woven dress shirt fabric
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Oxford_cloth.jpg/220px-Oxford_cloth.jpg)
Oxford cloth is a type of woven dress shirt fabric, employed to make dress shirts sometimes called Oxford shirts worn on casual to formal occasions.
Structure
Oxford cloth has a basket-weave structure and a lustrous aspect[1] making it a popular fabric for dress shirts.[2]
Varieties
Plain Oxford and Pinpoint Oxford are commonly used for casual shirt designs such as a button-down collar. Pinpoint Oxford is made from finer yarn and has a tighter weave than plain Oxford. It shows a "pin" or "dot" effect in the texture.[3] Royal Oxford is considered a more formal option. It is suited to business or sporty dress codes.[4]
