PS Pink Striped Oxford - cloth

A traditional oxford fabric, robust and casual, with a natural, nubby variation in the texture. Wears in beautifully; lasts forever.

Inspired by the vintage oxfords used by Brooks Brothers and others in the 1950s and 1960s, it is woven in Italy exclusively for Permanent Style. 

For bespoke shirts, most oxfords on offer are smooth and fine, aimed at a business customer to wear with a worsted suit or jacket - which makes it hard to find something traditional to make up bespoke. 

The PS Oxford fabric fills that gap, and is available in 2-metre cut lengths.

Says Simon: "A washed-out pink like this is great with navy and grey, black and blue, green and brown. In a pale version like this, it’s up there among the most versatile shirt colours." 

What our customers say: "The product I've enjoyed the most is the PS Oxford shirting cloth. I must have washed the light blue one more than fifty times and it's become softer while still holding its strength. I nearly always get compliments when I wear it.”
