What Can Oxford Cloth Be Made Into?

What is Oxford cloth?

Shirts made of Oxford Fabric cloth originated in Scotland. Although Oxford cloth has nothing to do with Oxford, it was cool at the time, and weavers gave their fabrics cool names to make their fabrics more delicate and refined.

While there are many different types of oxfords, what we consider a classic oxford is a 100% cotton fabric that feels thick, durable, and wrinkle-resistant.

It uses a basket weave where multiple weft threads cross over the same number of warp threads. Often, weft yarns of one color are crossed with white warp yarns, resulting in a two-tone look. Weaving in pairs creates a slightly heavier and rougher texture, but is more durable than most fabrics.

Although it is considered a casual and sporty fabric, as we discuss further below, this fabric is very versatile and has been used in all possible scenarios.
