What exactly is an Oxford shirt and where does it come from? The Oxford shirt actually comes from Scotland. It was first made in the 19th century by weaving two fabrics together. This made the shirt more durable because it is two individual threads woven in a basket weave fashion and also more breathable than other fabrics of the time. It was called Oxford after the university as it was thought this gave it a name of credibility and stature so would be easy to sell. The original inventors also named another shirt Cambridge but as you can see this one didn't catch on as none of us have a Cambridge shirt in our collection. Smart, durable, timeless, and affordable.
