Sewn in Fall River, MA Since 1933

The shirtmaker's shirt.

The Oxford is one of the most important pieces in a man's wardrobe. We've been perfecting the Oxford Cloth Button Down (OCBD) for nearly a century, making shirts for some of America's most respected menswear labels along the way.

The Bristol is our take on the classic Oxford button-down: substantial without being heavy, relaxed enough for everyday wear, and refined enough to dress up. Wear it tucked or untucked, with jeans or chinos, under a jacket or over shorts. It's the workhorse of your wardrobe—and one you'll reach for again and again.

We've dialed in every detail, from the traditional collar roll to the fabric, fit, and construction. Made in Fall River, Massachusetts, the Bristol carries forward a tradition of American shirt making that dates back to 1933.

Once you wear one, you'll understand why we recommend having more than one.

The Fabric

We source the highest quality Cambridge Oxford Cloth, woven in a traditional 2x1 basketweave at 165 GSM. It's light enough to wear year-round, yet substantial enough to stand up to years of wear.

With washing and time, the fabric softens and develops the comfortable, lived-in character that makes a great Oxford shirt better with age.

Made in our trim fit. A close to body fit with enough ease to wear tucked or untucked. Check our size chart here.

We source the highest quality 'Cambridge Oxford Cloth.' A traditional 2x1 basketweave that weighs in at 165 GSM. Light enough to wear year round and beefy enough to last for many years to come. Softens over time through washing for that perfect next to skin feeling.

Customers praised the craftsmanship and fabric quality, with one saying it's "priced well" and another noting the "wonderful quality." However, some reported sizing runs small and concerns about loose threads. The Oxford cloth shirt offers nice fabric hand but may have inconsistent quality control.

Beautiful madras cloth and well made

Beautiful madras cloth and well made. My only wish is that it was a bit longer and more material overall for an XL. Fine quality shirt.

Great craftsmanship and fabric has a nice hand. I think the shirts are cut small. I wear an xl and the shirts don't fit very well.

Nice shirt - But dry clean only?!

Shirt looks and feels fine, but was disappointed to discover a "Dry Clean Only" tag. My other linen shirts are machine washable.

Good Oxford Shirt

This is a pretty good oxford shirt. The fabric feels like quality, but not quite as substantial as some other ocbd shirts in my collection. I can't complain since I got it at a hefty discount. I like the fit and the cut. I probably wouldn't pay full price, but I'll be on the lookout for future promotions.

Wrong shirt; no response from cs

I ordered a button down shirt and received a pop over. No response from customer service after an initial email and a followup.

Nice but with issues

The shirt fabric feels nice, but the stitching is off. Even out of the bag, the "made in USA" tag has a weird bunch of loose thread on one side. There's also a few loose threads in other places as well such as around the collar buttons and placket buttons.

It's not that any of these are necessarily deal-breakers, but for such an expensive shirt, it does make me wonder how long it will last.
