Oxford

Oxford

Taken from the famous English town and university, the origin of this fabric is Scottish.

In the 19th century Scotland was one of the prominent areas of the textile world and to remain among the best producers, continuous and constant research was always necessary, creating new trends and types of fabric. After having developed four new types of fabric, which were given the names of important British academies (Yale, Cambridge, Harvard and Oxford), only the latter had success among the public, so much so that its diffusion was immediate thanks also to the appreciation for its breathability.
The Oxford is created with pure cotton yarns woven into a basket
/strong>. An effect that is created thanks to the use of multiple thin and coloured threads for the warp and a thick and soft white thread. This creates a check that is light to the touch, an effect that distinguishes Oxford from other fabrics. This special characteristic makes it ideal for formal and sporty men's shirts, even if its lightness, comfort and strong>breathability they also admit it in casual outfits with a chic touch.
