Pinpoint Oxford is a special fine Oxford weave developed in the 1960's in UK. It is a fabric that has grown to become the classic American dress shirts. This cloth has the three most important components of a mainstay in any shirt wardrobe: Durability, Absorbancy, and Luxurious Feel. The yarn is 80's 2 ply and the cloth is woven with a high warp construction that creates a "bead." When woven correctly in colors other than white, it creates soft and beautifully shaded cloth because of high impact mixture of white with bright fill yarns.
