Introduction And Types Of Oxford Fabric

What is Oxford Fabric?

Oxford cloth is a woven dress shirting fabric made from basket weave used to make dress shirts, sometimes called oxford shirts, for casual or formal occasions.

Oxford fabrics are very popular for their properties and versatility.

Oxford cloth was originally made primarily from cotton, but many other fibers are now used, including polyester, viscose, and other synthetic fibers.

type:

Plain Oxford: Soft and less prone to wrinkling because the smooth fabric is made in a way that combines two woven yarns (machine direction) with a heavier grammage yarn (cross direction).

Precision Oxfords: Precision Oxfords are made from finer yarns and a tighter basket weave, so they are softer and smoother than typical oxfords. It has a bit of sheen, but not like the Royal Oxford. The yarn it uses is lighter and thicker than regular oxfords, but thicker than royal oxfords. It is perfect for those who want an elegant look, but also for casual occasions. However, when wearing clothing made of needlepoint fabric, you should be careful with sharp edges, which can easily give way because it is soft.

Royal Oxford: Royal Oxford is very different from Precision Oxford. It has the typical luster and texture and is the thinnest of the Oxford fabrics. It is made of extremely fine and lightweight thread, which is smoother, shinier, and finer than regular oxfords and needlepoint oxfords. It has a more prominent and refined weave than needlepoint or regular oxford, resulting in a more pronounced texture and a sparkle in the yarn. Royal Oxfords are perfect for dressy occasions
