Product Overview
The Henbury HB518 Women's Modern Short Sleeve Oxford Shirt is a masterclass in professional attire, blending the timeless aesthetic of the Oxford weave with a contemporary, tailored silhouette. Engineered for the modern workplace, this garment is crafted from a cotton-rich, lightweight fabric that prioritises both comfort and durability. The inclusion of a wrinkle-resistant finish ensures that the wearer maintains a crisp, sharp appearance throughout a demanding shift, while the short-sleeve design makes it an ideal choice for temperature-controlled environments or warmer seasons.
Key Features
- Lightweight Oxford Weave: The cotton-rich fabric offers exceptional breathability and a soft handle, ensuring comfort during extended periods of wear.
- Wrinkle-Resistant Finish: This technical treatment significantly reduces the need for heavy ironing and helps the shirt retain its professional structure from morning to evening.
- Modern Tailored Fit: Strategically placed darts and shaped seams create a feminine, contoured silhouette that looks sophisticated without sacrificing ease of movement.
- Short Point Button-Down Collar: Provides a neat and secure collar position, maintaining a tidy appearance even when worn without a tie or scarf.
- Pearlised Buttons: These high-quality buttons add a subtle, premium touch to the overall design, elevating the standard of the garment.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of 70% cotton and 30% polyester, this shirt strikes the perfect balance between the natural breathability of cotton and the hard-wearing resilience of polyester. This specific composition is chosen for its ability to withstand the rigours of industrial laundering while maintaining its shape and colour. The lightweight nature of the fabric ensures it is not cumbersome when layered under knitwear or tailored jackets, making it a versatile staple for any corporate wardrobe.
The attention to detail extends to the internal construction, where the sewn tag is designed to be unobtrusive, and the garment's overall finish is tailored to support rebranding. The modern fit is achieved through precise pattern cutting, ensuring that the shirt follows the lines of the body for a professional finish that is far superior to standard, boxy alternatives.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Henbury Oxford shirt is an excellent canvas for customisation. For those seeking a superior professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your corporate logo or employee names onto the chest or collar, providing a durable and high-quality finish that withstands regular washing.
Alternatively, for large-scale branding or bold promotional designs, the smooth surface of the Oxford weave accommodates high-quality print techniques. Whether you require subtle branding or a more prominent visual identity, MyWorkwear has the expertise, established in 1976, to ensure your team looks unified and professional. All customisation is handled in-house at our UK facility to ensure the highest standards of quality control.
Use Cases
This shirt is specifically designed for professionals in sectors such as hospitality, corporate office environments, and retail. It is an ideal solution for front-of-house staff who require a garment that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Its durability and ease of care also make it a practical choice for large-scale uniform rollouts where consistency in appearance is paramount.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that this shirt features a modern, fitted cut. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for active roles, you may wish to consider moving up one size. The lightweight fabric makes this shirt an excellent layering piece; it pairs seamlessly with V-neck knitwear for a smart-casual look or under a blazer for formal corporate environments.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the technical finish and the clarity of your customisation, we recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a synthetic cycle. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday dirt while protecting the fibres from thermal degradation.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will break down the fabric's structure and cause significant discolouration to both the garment and any embroidered logos. While the shirt can be tumble dried, we recommend doing so on a low setting to prevent excessive shrinkage.
When ironing, use a low heat setting and ensure you do not iron directly over any printed or embroidered decoration, as high heat can damage the branding. Always iron on the reverse of the fabric to preserve the wrinkle-resistant finish and keep the Oxford weave looking its best. To prevent fading, particularly with darker colours, dry the garment away from direct heat and sunlight.
