Product Overview
The Kariban Men's long-sleeved Oxford shirt is a staple of professional attire, combining the timeless aesthetic of the Oxford weave with modern fabric technology. Designed for the rigours of the daily work environment, this shirt offers a sharp, traditional appearance while remaining highly practical. The inclusion of polyester alongside cotton creates a garment that is both breathable and significantly easier to maintain than a pure cotton alternative, making it a dependable choice for those who value efficiency alongside style.
Key Features
- Easycare fabric: This specific blend is engineered to resist excessive creasing and require minimal ironing, ensuring you look professional throughout the day without a struggle.
- Button-down collar: This feature keeps the collar points secured and tidy, maintaining a crisp profile whether worn with or without a tie.
- Left chest pocket: A functional addition with a V-shaped design that provides convenient storage for pens or small essential items, integrated seamlessly into the shirt.
- Back yoke with two side pleats: These pleats allow for a greater range of movement across the back and shoulders, preventing the fabric from pulling during physical tasks.
- Adjustable cuffs: The rounded button cuffs, complete with a button on the sleeve gauntlet, allow for a tailored fit around the wrist and make it easier to adjust as needed.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight Oxford fabric, this shirt balances the soft, natural feel of cotton with the durability of polyester. The 70/30 blend is specifically chosen for its longevity and resistance to the wear and tear of a commercial environment. The shaped hem allows the shirt to be worn tucked in for a formal look or untucked for a slightly more relaxed appearance without looking untidy. With multiple ethical certifications including WRAP, BSCI, and Oeko-Tex, this garment meets high standards for both social responsibility and fabric safety, ensuring it is a reliable choice for your team.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This shirt provides an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a professional and long-lasting finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for this fabric. It is particularly suited for company logos or individual names on the chest, providing a premium, textured look that stands up well to frequent laundering. For larger or more vibrant designs, printing is also an effective option. Our experienced in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure your brand is represented with precision.
Use Cases
This shirt is highly versatile, making it ideal for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, corporate office environments, or retail management. Its durable construction also makes it a sensible choice for service roles where a professional image must be maintained during active shifts.

Practical Advice
Available in an extensive size range from Small up to 6XL, this shirt is designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of body types. For those working in cooler environments, the lightweight fabric layers comfortably under a jumper or a blazer without feeling restrictive or bulky.
Caring for your product
To maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your shirt, it is important to follow the recommended care routine to ensure the easycare properties and your custom branding remain intact.
We suggest a standard machine wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove everyday dirt while protecting the polyester-cotton fibres and ensuring your logo remains vibrant.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric and cause the colours to fade prematurely. For drying, use a mild tumble dry programme; excessive heat can lead to unnecessary shrinkage and may damage the embroidery or print finish.
When ironing, use a low heat setting with a maximum temperature of 110°C. This ensures the shirt stays crisp without damaging the synthetic fibres within the blend. Please avoid dry cleaning, as the chemicals involved can negatively affect both the fabric and any applied customisation.
