FAQs

What material is the Bench Oxford shirt made from?

While the Oxford style is smart, it's generally considered more for business casual or smart casual settings rather than highly formal events. The button-down collar lends itself to less formal appearances.

How should I wash this shirt?

What does 'double button cuff' mean?

This refers to the cuff having two buttons, allowing you to adjust the tightness of the cuff opening for a more personalized fit.

Can I wear this shirt in the summer?

Yes, the 100% cotton fabric makes it breathable and comfortable for wear in warmer months, especially when styled appropriately.

What are the washing instructions to prevent shrinkage?

Washing in cold water and avoiding high heat drying (preferring hang dry or low tumble dry) will help minimize shrinkage.

Does the embroidered branding add significant bulk?

The embroidered branding is designed to be subtle and typically adds minimal to no noticeable bulk to the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Shirt appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure the shirt is ironed while slightly damp or use a steam setting on your iron. Avoid over-drying in the machine.

Colour fading over time.

Wash inside out in cold water and use a detergent designed for coloured fabrics. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Buttons become loose.

Carefully re-sew any loose buttons using a strong thread that matches the original.

Shirt feels stiff after washing.

Use a fabric softener during the wash cycle or ensure you are not using too much detergent, which can leave residue.
