Portuguese Blue Cotton and Hemp Oxford Fabric

~~$130~~ $90

Low Stock

A must-have for spring and summer.

In our minds, there's no situation in which you can't wear an oxford cloth button down (OCBD). There are times, however, when a pure cotton oxford wears a bit too warm. This 57% cotton/43% hemp blend, developed with our favorite Portuguese mill, has excellent breathability while retaining the substantial feel of a classic oxford weave. The fabric has a bit of natural slub from the hemp which gives it beautiful texture and character, and it’s more durable, opaque, slightly heavier than most cotton/linen blends, too. Expect it to age phenomenally and become your go-to warm weather shirt. This shade of blue is a fantastic one to have on hand for easy casual wear, and it makes a particularly good alternative to a light blue twill or broadcloth with a sport coat.

Recommended Styling: Go with our Soft Ivy Button Down collar, Rounded pocket, and Wide Soft placket for a classic oxford look. Go with our Soft English Spread collar and no placket for a more modern vibe.

“This is a beautiful shirt. The Portuguese blue is the classic color with flecks of white in it. The fabric is very opaque, a bit heavier and thick, typical of the oxford cloth build. The hemp gives it a bit of a sheen appearance. Very nice shirt.”
