Product Overview
The Henbury Women's modern long sleeve Oxford shirt is a sophisticated staple designed for the professional environment. Engineered with a contemporary fitted silhouette, this garment provides a sharp, tailored appearance without compromising on comfort. The cotton-rich fabric offers a soft handle while the addition of synthetic fibres ensures the shirt remains practical for the demands of a busy working day. Its lightweight construction makes it an ideal choice for year-round wear, either as a standalone piece or layered under a blazer.
Key Features
- Wrinkle-resistant finish: This treatment ensures the shirt maintains a crisp, pressed appearance throughout the day, significantly reducing time spent on maintenance.
- Tailored darts: Front and back darts are strategically placed to provide a feminine, fitted shape that follows the natural contours of the body.
- Short point button-down collar: Offers a modern take on the traditional Oxford collar, keeping the neckline looking neat and professional even during active shifts.
- Adjustable cuffs: Allows the wearer to customise the sleeve fit, ensuring comfort and suitability for various arm lengths.
- Pearlised buttons: These provide a subtle, high-quality finish that complements the overall aesthetic of the garment.
Design & Performance
The shirt is crafted from a lightweight Oxford weave, blending 70% cotton with 30% polyester. This specific composition is chosen for its balance of breathability and durability. The cotton provides natural comfort against the skin, while the polyester adds necessary strength and ensures the garment holds its shape after multiple wash cycles. The fabric is specifically designed to be easy-care, meaning it resists the heavy creasing often associated with pure cotton shirts, making it a reliable choice for staff uniforms.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This Oxford shirt is an excellent canvas for customisation. We recommend embroidery for a sophisticated, professional finish that suits the classic texture of the Oxford weave; it is particularly effective for company logos or staff names on the chest or collar. For larger, more vibrant branding, our high-quality printing processes are equally effective. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on decades of experience since our establishment in 1976 to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
This garment is perfectly suited for corporate environments, hospitality front-of-house teams, and retail staff who require a smart, uniform appearance. Its wide size range from XS to 4XL ensures that entire teams can be outfitted in a consistent style. Because it is tag-free, it is also a preferred option for businesses looking to rebrand the garment as their own.

Practical Advice
This shirt features a modern fitted cut. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or intend to wear a camisole underneath, you may wish to consider one size larger than your usual measurement. The adjustable cuffs are a particularly useful feature if you frequently find sleeve lengths to be a challenge.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your shirt, we recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime without causing excessive wear to the fibres. Washing dark colours separately is essential to prevent dye transfer and keep the fabric looking vibrant.
When drying, use a low heat setting in the tumble dryer to avoid shrinking the cotton fibres. If ironing is required, use a medium heat setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse of the fabric. This is particularly important for customised garments, as you must never iron directly on the decoration to avoid damaging the print or embroidery.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will weaken the fabric and cause significant discolouration. Professional dry cleaning is also an option for this garment if you prefer a high-standard finish without the domestic effort.
