Oxford Fabric: A Comprehensive Overview
Oxford fabric is widely used for casual and semi-formal button-down dress shirts.
This fabric features a basket weave structure, which makes Oxford fabric inherently thicker.
It is also heavier compared to other dress shirt fabrics. The rougher texture of Oxford fabric makes it primarily suitable for casual wear.
Oxford fabric originated in the 19th century and was one of four fabrics developed by a Scottish textile mill. It was named after four prestigious universities: Harvard, Cambridge, Yale, and Oxford.
However, production of the other three fabrics was discontinued due to their lack of popularity.
Initially, Oxford fabric was made exclusively from pure cotton fibers. Today, it is also made from synthetic fibers such as rayon, viscose, and polyester.
Types of Oxford Fabric
The structure of Oxford fabric can vary based on its intended use. From lightweight to heavyweight options, there is an Oxford fabric to suit every need.
Pure Oxford
Pure Oxford is the classic heavy Oxford fabric (40/1 x 24/2). It is a smooth, durable fabric that is slightly thicker than standard dress shirt fabrics. It is commonly used for casual button-down shirts.
50s Single Oxford
50s Single Oxford is a lightweight version of Oxford fabric. It is crisper compared to regular Oxford and comes in various colors and patterns. This fabric is ideal for both business and casual shirts.
Pinpoint Oxford
Pinpoint Oxford (80s two-ply) features a finer and tighter basket weave, resulting in a smoother and softer fabric compared to regular Oxford. Due to its delicacy, care must be taken when using sharp objects like pins.
Pinpoint Oxford is thicker and more opaque than broadcloth, making it perfect for collegiate business shirts.
Royal Oxford
Royal Oxford (75×2 x 38/3) is a “premium Oxford” fabric. It is lighter and finer than other types of Oxford, with a more pronounced and intricate weave. It is smoother and shinier, making it suitable for more formal occasions.
Conclusion
Today, Oxford fabric is highly popular due to its versatility. This synthetic fiber fabric can be produced in various ways. The weave of Oxford fabric can be either lightweight or heavyweight, depending on its structure.
It can also be coated with polyurethane to provide windproof and waterproof properties.
Originally, Oxford fabric was used solely for making classic button-down dress shirts. While this remains its most popular use, the applications of Oxford fabric are endless.
