The Royal Oxford shirt is a sophisticated evolution of the traditional oxford shirt, offering a refined texture and elevated feel. While the classic oxford has roots in colonial India, where polo players secured their collars for practicality, Royal Oxford elevates this iconic menswear staple with a finer weave and subtle sheen. Originally brought to the world by John Brooks of Brooks Brothers in 1896, the oxford shirt became a global sensation, embraced by Ivy League colleges, Hollywood, and beyond. Its versatility as a smart middle-ground between casual and formal attire made it a menswear essential.
However, not all Royal Oxford shirts live up to their potential. Some lack the rich texture that distinguishes this weave, while others sacrifice breathability for structure. And don't get us started on wrinkle-free treatments that leave the fabric feeling unnatural and stiff. The hallmark collar roll? Too often forgotten.
Enter our Royal Oxford shirt. We've taken the authentic oxford design and enhanced it with a luxurious royal oxford weave that strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and versatility. The fabric's fine texture gives it a polished look, making it ideal for both professional and casual settings. With a soft collar roll and a modern, tailored fit, this shirt transitions seamlessly from boardroom meetings to evening dinners. Dress it up with a suit or pair it with chinos, jeans, or even shorts for a casual outing. Roll up the sleeves for a laid-back look or keep it crisp for formal occasions. As with any well-made shirt, it will only improve with wear, adapting to your body and lifestyle over time.
