The Oxford Cotton Button Down Shirt or ‘OCBD’ traces its origins back to 19th century Scotland. Born from the creative experiments of a Scottish mill at the time, the mill began attributing the names of these unusual weaves to the four most prestigious universities of the era, Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, and Oxford, in an effort to add gravitas.

The fabric is renowned for its signature basket weave structure, a triumph of textile engineering. With an equal number of weft threads intricately crossed over an identical number of warp threads, it forms a fabric that is not only robust but also elegantly textured.
