Design & Performance
The performance of the Lawrence shirt is rooted in its specific material composition. By combining a high percentage of cotton with a touch of elastane, Brook Taverner has created a lightweight Oxford weave that retains the classic textured finish synonymous with the style, while introducing modern flexibility. This means the shirt is breathable and comfortable against the skin, yet durable enough to withstand frequent laundering and the demands of a high-pressure environment. The tailored construction ensures that the single cuffs and long sleeves provide a superior fit that does not compromise on mobility or comfort.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that a professional uniform is a direct reflection of your business. The Lawrence Stretch Oxford Shirt is an ideal canvas for both print and embroidery, with all customisation handled by our expert in-house team in Telford. For a traditional and authoritative finish, we recommend embroidery. Placing a company logo on the left chest or a name on the collar provides a high-quality, tactile result that complements the Oxford weave perfectly.
Alternatively, for businesses looking to make a more significant visual impact, high-definition printing is available. This method is particularly effective for larger branding on the reverse of the shirt. Regardless of the method chosen, our team, established in 1976, ensures that every garment meets our rigorous standards for clarity and longevity.
Use Cases
This shirt is ideally suited for client-facing roles where a professional yet approachable dress code is required. It is a popular choice for office-based staff, hospitality management, and sales professionals who need to maintain a superior appearance while remaining comfortable during long shifts. Its stretch properties also make it suitable for roles that involve moderate movement, such as showroom floor management or estate agency work.

Practical Advice
Due to the tailored fit of the Lawrence shirt, we recommend reviewing your measurements carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders and chest. Because the fabric is a lightweight stretch Oxford, it layers exceptionally well under a V-neck jumper or a blazer without adding unnecessary bulk, making it a reliable choice for transitioning between different work environments.
Caring for your product
To ensure your garment maintains its professional finish and structural integrity, it is vital to follow the care instructions provided. Regular maintenance not only keeps the shirt looking new but also protects the longevity of any custom embroidery or print applied to the fabric.
This garment is machine washable. We recommend a standard domestic cycle to remove daily dirt and oils without damaging the delicate elastane fibres that provide the shirt's essential stretch. Maintaining a consistent temperature prevents the cotton from shrinking and preserves the tailored silhouette.
Avoid the use of harsh chemical bleaches or aggressive detergents, as these can weaken the cotton fibres and cause the colours—and your branding—to fade prematurely. When drying, it is best to hang the shirt immediately to allow the Oxford weave to settle, reducing the need for heavy ironing which can eventually wear down the fabric over time.
