Oxford
The recognizable textured look of Oxford fabric stems from the basket weaving method, where horizontal (weft) threads intersect an equal number of vertical (warp) threads. This technique usually involves interweaving a colored thread with white ones.
Oxford fabric is a popular choice for shirts, everyday attire, and work uniforms.
