Product Overview
The Calgary Royal Oxford Shirt from Brook Taverner is a sophisticated choice for those who require a professional appearance without sacrificing comfort throughout the working day. This short-sleeved garment is engineered with a tailored fit, providing a modern silhouette that remains sharp in any corporate or service environment.

Key Features
- Tailored Fit: This cut offers a more streamlined shape through the waist and chest, ensuring a professional silhouette that avoids the bulk of traditional fits.
- Button-Down Collar: An essential feature for maintaining a tidy appearance, keeping the collar points securely in place throughout active shifts.
- French Placket: By folding the fabric over the buttonholes, this design provides a cleaner, more streamlined front that enhances the shirt's formal aesthetic.
- Contrast Detailing: Subtle design elements provide a touch of modern character, allowing the garment to stand out in a professional capacity without being distracting.
- Royal Oxford Weave: A sophisticated fabric choice that offers a more pronounced texture than standard weaves, resulting in a shirt that looks substantial and high-quality.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester, this shirt balances the natural breathability of cotton with the resilience of synthetic fibres. The Royal Oxford weave is technically interesting; it is more intricate than a plain weave, providing a textured finish that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Despite its robust appearance, the fabric is a lightweight choice, making it particularly suitable for indoor environments or warmer climates where temperature regulation is a priority.
The addition of polyester ensures the garment is easier to iron and retains its shape after multiple wash cycles, which is critical for workwear that must be worn day in and day out. This fabric blend is specifically chosen to minimise the fatigue associated with heavy, restrictive garments while ensuring the shirt remains looking crisp until the end of the shift.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The structured nature of the Royal Oxford weave makes the Calgary shirt an excellent candidate for customisation. For a refined and durable finish, we recommend embroidery. The stable fabric handles high-stitch-count logos exceptionally well, preventing puckering and ensuring your brand remains legible and professional for the life of the garment.
Alternatively, for larger, more vibrant branding, our printing services are available. This is often the preferred choice for promotional events where bold visibility is required. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting these techniques since 1976 to ensure every logo meets our rigorous standards.
Use Cases
This shirt is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles within the hospitality sector, front-of-house management, and corporate office environments. Its short-sleeve design makes it an ideal choice for staff working in busy service areas or during the summer months, providing a cooler alternative to long-sleeved formal wear while maintaining a superior finish.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a tailored fit, we suggest that if you are between sizes, you may wish to consider the larger option to ensure full range of movement during your tasks. This shirt layers exceptionally well under lightweight knitwear or a waistcoat, allowing for a versatile year-round uniform solution.
Caring for your product
To ensure your Calgary shirt maintains its professional appearance and structural integrity, it is important to follow the correct care procedures. This garment is fully machine washable, which is essential for the fast-paced nature of modern work environments.
We recommend washing at a standard domestic temperature to effectively remove dirt while preserving the cotton-polyester fibres. Excessive heat should be avoided during the drying process, as high temperatures can lead to fabric shrinkage and may affect the longevity of any custom embroidery or print work applied to the shirt.
When ironing, a medium heat setting is sufficient to remove any creases caused by the wash cycle. Because of the polyester content, the fabric is naturally resistant to heavy wrinkling, making the maintenance process more efficient for the wearer.
