Slim-Fit Spread Collar Dress Shirt In Sky Blue Roxford

Don’t you guys mean ‘royal oxford’? For years we’ve been using an around-the-office portmanteau for this fabric, since it’s lighter and more refined than a traditional oxford cloth, with a slight glow to the surface. It can go from boardroom to dive bar, and it’s usually the very first shirt we recommend to a guy building his wardrobe. This one’s got a modified spread collar with lightweight, fused interlining to lend some structure. (A little inside baseball: the collar point length is designed to sit in perfect harmony with the widths of our ties and our jacket lapels, all 8cm exactly.) Our Slim Fit has a trimmer body and sleeve than our Standard, plus a higher armhole and our usual long-enough-to-stay-tucked-in shirttail. It’s a good choice for guys with narrower shoulders and those who prefer a closer-to-the-body shape. Otherwise, the details are the same: single-needle stitching, 22 stitches/inch, flat-felled seams, and thick, 3.5mm Trocas shell buttons. And while they’re designed to look fantastic with a tie, all of our dress shirts can be opened up and worn more casually — in fact, on weekends, we wear them as sport shirts.
