Products for category Oxford Fabrics
Oxford fabric is characterized by a basket-weave structure — two or more warp yarns woven together as one with weft yarns, creating a distinctive textured surface that is more substantial and casual than poplin. Double-ply Oxford (the most common uniform grade) uses two-ply warp yarns for added durability and a softer hand.
Oxford is the standard weave for classic button-down uniform shirts, school uniform shirts, and casual-professional hospitality attire.
