The men's oxford shirt, born on the polo field
At the gallop, the collar points of English polo players flapped and lifted. In the end they were buttoned to the shirt: the button-down collar was born, for a practical reason and nothing else. Students at American Ivy League universities then adopted it, and the men's oxford shirt went from the sports field to the everyday wardrobe. Oxford itself is a cloth: a cotton fabric with a marked grain, which ended up giving its name to the whole shirt. It has been worn since open or closed, tucked in or not, depending on the hour and the place.
Cut and sizing
Straight cut, with about 12 cm (4.7 in) of ease around the chest. In size M, it measures 56 cm half chest, 54 cm half waist, 63 cm sleeve and 73 cm front length; each size adds 2 cm of chest and waist, and 1 cm of sleeve and length. From S to 3XL. The size chart at the bottom of the page gives all the measurements; if in doubt, compare with the size guide.
How to wear a men's oxford shirt
Open over a tank top, or closed with the sleeves rolled up, as in our photos. Tucked into a beige chino on weekdays, worn out over Japanese jeans at the weekend. On its own in mid-season, or under a lambswool sweater when the cold arrives, collar out over the top. It also comes in white.
Care
- Machine washable at home, dry cleaning is not necessary: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly.
- No tumble dryer, no fabric softener, which clogs the fibre and reduces its breathability.
- Air dry in the shade, then iron at medium heat, on the reverse to protect the colour.
The collar, the mother-of-pearl, the pockets
The button-down collar is reinforced to hold its shape without stays. The buttons, at the collar as at the cuffs, are natural mother-of-pearl. On the front, a patch chest pocket; under the collar, the Champ de Manoeuvres Heritage Workwear label. At the back, a shoulder yoke holds the shoulder line, and the cuffs close with a button.
Patina and durability
In three years, this blue oxford will be even softer than on the first morning.
At the gallop, the collar points of English polo players lifted; in the end they were buttoned down. The Ivy League adopted the shirt, and it went from the sports field to the everyday wardrobe. This one is cut from a 185 g/m² blue oxford woven in Portugal. Here is how it softens.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Light blue is the shirt colour that suits everyone. With a collar that holds and a cotton that softens with each wash, it is the shirt you reach for as soon as it comes out of the wardrobe. The one that dresses up jeans.
An oxford woven in Portugal
The cloth is woven in Portugal in a basket weave. It is that crossing of threads that gives it its visible grain and a thicker hand than poplin. It weighs 185 g/m²: dense enough to drape sharply and keep its shape in the wash, supple enough to breathe all day. Its sky blue goes with the raw look of jeans as with the beige of a chino.
At the bottom, the side vent is reinforced and the hem topstitched, two places that work with every movement. The shirt is made in Morocco.

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.
Every piece is designed to last, evolve and develop a patina over time.
