Product Overview
The Kustom Kit KK188 Premium Oxford shirt represents a sophisticated evolution of the classic corporate staple. Designed specifically with a tailored fit, this long-sleeved garment provides a more streamlined and modern silhouette compared to traditional boxy alternatives. It is engineered from a cotton-rich fabric that balances the natural breathability of high-grade cotton with the structural resilience of polyester, ensuring it meets the rigorous demands of a professional environment while maintaining a sharp, crisp appearance throughout the working day.
Key Features
- Fused stand-up button-down collar: This construction ensures the collar retains its shape and professional height, even after multiple washes, preventing it from collapsing under a blazer or jumper.
- Easy iron finish: The fabric has been treated to resist deep creasing, significantly reducing maintenance time and ensuring you look polished with minimal effort.
- Two-button adjustable cuffs: Featuring a one-button pointed cuff placket, these allow for a precise fit around the wrist, accommodating different watch styles or personal preferences.
- Reinforced stitching: The inclusion of double-stitched side and sleeve seams provides essential durability at high-stress points, preventing premature wear and tear.
- Rounded hem and back yoke: The curved hem allows the shirt to be worn tucked in securely or untucked for a slightly more contemporary look, while the back yoke provides a better fit across the shoulders.
Design & Performance
Technical performance is at the heart of the KK188. The fabric composition of 85% cotton and 15% polyester creates a lightweight fabric that is exceptionally comfortable against the skin. Unlike 100% cotton shirts which can suffer from excessive wrinkling, this blend offers superior dimensional stability. The single-stitched yoke and armhole seams provide a clean, high-end finish that reduces bulk, while the double-stitching on the sleeves ensures the shirt can withstand the physical movements required in hospitality or active corporate roles. The result is a garment that feels substantial without being cumbersome.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This premium Oxford shirt is an ideal canvas for customisation. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. A well-placed company logo or staff name on the left chest or collar provides a permanent, high-quality finish that withstands regular laundering. Because of the fabric's stable weave, embroidery sits flat without puckering.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics for events or promotional activities, printing is also a viable option. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with the precision and expertise your business deserves.
Use Cases
This tailored-fit shirt is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, front-of-house hospitality teams, and sales representatives who require a sharp, professional image. Its durability and easy-iron properties make it a practical choice for staff who travel frequently or work long shifts where maintaining a tidy appearance is critical.

Practical Advice
As this is a tailored-fit garment, it is designed to sit closer to the body. If you prefer a more generous cut or require extra room for movement across the chest and waist, we recommend consulting our size guide to compare the collar measurements carefully. This shirt layers exceptionally well under a fine-gauge knit or a structured waistcoat for a complete professional ensemble.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional finish of your Oxford shirt, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions provided. A consistent maintenance routine will significantly extend the lifespan of the garment and keep the fabric looking new.
We recommend a machine wash at 40°C using a permanent press cycle (indicated by the bar under the wash symbol). This helps to prevent the setting of deep wrinkles and protects the fused collar. You must avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will degrade the cotton fibres and cause discolouration, particularly on white or light-coloured fabrics.
This shirt should not be tumble dried. High heat from a dryer can damage the fused elements in the collar and cuffs and may cause the fabric to shrink. Instead, hang the shirt to air dry. When it comes to pressing, use a two-dot iron setting (medium heat). Ironing while the garment is slightly damp will yield the best results, especially for the collar and button placket. Professional dry cleaning is not recommended for this fabric blend.
