FAQs

What does 'Oxford Cloth' mean for the fabric?

Oxford cloth is a type of woven cotton fabric characterized by its textured, basket-weave appearance. It's known for being durable, breathable, and comfortable, making it ideal for shirts.

How does the enzyme wash and stone treatment affect the shirt?

These treatments are used to pre-soften the fabric, giving the shirt an exceptionally soft hand feel right from the start. It also contributes to a slightly more relaxed, lived-in appearance.

What is the difference between Regent fit and other Brooks Brothers fits?

The Regent fit is Brooks Brothers' classic or regular fit. It offers a comfortable silhouette that is neither too slim nor too oversized, providing a traditional and adaptable wear.

Can I wear this shirt for formal occasions?

While versatile, this sport shirt is best suited for business-casual or smart-casual occasions. For very formal events, a dressier fabric and collar style might be more appropriate.

What kind of tie is best with the Polo Button Down collar?

A knit tie or a tie with a slightly less formal texture often pairs well. You can also wear it open-necked or with a self-tie bow tie for a relaxed yet polished look.

How durable is the cotton material?

100% cotton Oxford cloth is known for its durability. With proper care, this shirt is designed to last and withstand regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the cotton's natural feel. Consider air drying instead of tumble drying.

Color appears faded.

Wash the shirt inside out to protect the color. Always use cold water and avoid harsh detergents or excessive bleaching agents. Limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Collar is not holding its shape.

Ensure the collar is properly buttoned down after washing and drying. Ironing the collar can help restore its shape. Check care label for specific ironing instructions.

Shrinkage after washing.

Always follow the recommended washing temperature (cold) and drying method (low heat or air dry). Avoid high heat settings in both washing and drying.
