The difference between the fabrics is not in the weave but in the thickness and weight of the yarns that are used. Pinpoint generally has a higher thread count, and a lighter, finer weave than Oxford cloth. Thus, pinpoint dress shirts are preferable over oxford cloth dress shirts in more formal situations. Pinpoint makes for an elegant but subdued wedding dress shirt, or a perfect business interview dress shirt, while oxford cloth would be better suited for a business casual or outdoor event.<\/p>\n<h2>Pinpoint oxford fabric weave<\/h2>\n<p>Pinpoint oxford uses an under-over weave, such that the fabric has a bit more texture than comparable broadcloth. Below are examples of the weaving patterns used for both pinpoint oxford and oxford cloth shirt fabrics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/propercloth.com\/images\/Photos\/Shirts\/Pinpoint_1.png\" alt=\"Pinpoint Fabric Weave\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/propercloth.com\/images\/Photos\/Shirts\/Pinpoint_2.png\" alt=\"Pinpoint Fabric Weave\" width=\"280\" height=\"280\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/propercloth.com\/fabrics\/pinpoint\"><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Pinpoint custom shirt fabrics.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinpoint Oxford, commonly called just &#8220;pinpoint&#8221; for short is a very popular\u00a0dress shirt fabric\u00a0type.
