Oxford Shirt in Cotton

The work is in knowing what not to change. The button-down collar, the chest pocket, the short sleeve — these are resolved. What wasn't resolved was the body: most oxford shirts are either fitted enough to feel restrictive or oversized enough to read as borrowed. This one is cut boxy and cropped, with a back pleat that releases into a slight A-line swing — enough volume to feel unconsidered, not so much that the shirt loses its shape.

The Royal Oxford from Albino is the reason the proportion works: at 100/2 warp count it's finer than the Oxford you know, which means the cloth drapes rather than stands, and the boxy cut reads as intentional rather than oversized. The tonal monogram on the pocket is embroidered, not printed. It is only visible when the light hits it directly. That was the point.
