From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oxford is a type of woven dress shirt fabric, employed to make a particular casual-to-formal cloth in Oxford shirts.

[edit] Structure
The Oxford weave has a basketweave structure and a lustrous aspect[1] making it a popular fabric for a dress shirt.[2]
[edit] Varieties
Varieties in the cloth are the plain Oxford, the Pinpoint Oxford and the more formal, Royal Oxford.
[edit] Uses
While these first two are more often paired with casual shirt designs like a button-down collar, the third type of Oxford cloth, "Royal Oxford", is considered a more versatile weave that can be paired with either business or sporty dress codes.
