Product Overview
The Russell Collection Short Sleeve Easycare Oxford Shirt is a staple of professional attire, designed to provide a sharp and consistent appearance for teams across various sectors. As an "ultra-smart" garment, it combines the classic aesthetic of an Oxford weave with modern fabric technology to ensure you look your best from the start of your shift to the end. The focus here is on a high-quality finish that withstands the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a crisp, professional silhouette.
Key Features
- Button-down collar: This classic feature ensures the collar remains neatly in place, preventing it from splaying and maintaining a structured look even during active shifts.
- Back yoke with two side pleats: These pleats are specifically engineered to provide extra room across the shoulders, allowing for a full range of movement without the fabric pulling or straining.
- V-shaped chest pocket: Located on the left chest, this pocket offers a practical space for essential items like pens or business cards, finished with a classic V-shape for a touch of detail.
- Rounded hem: The curved design allows the shirt to be tucked in securely or worn untucked while still appearing neat and intentional.
Design & Performance
The shirt is constructed from a balanced blend of 70% cotton and 30% polyester. This composition is chosen for its specific performance benefits: the cotton provides natural breathability and comfort against the skin, while the polyester adds essential durability and crease resistance. We describe this as a lightweight yet substantial fabric that is easy to iron, making it an ideal choice for high-pressure environments where presentation is paramount.
The weave itself is a traditional Oxford style, which gives the fabric a distinctive, slightly textured appearance that is more robust than a standard poplin. This makes it particularly effective at masking minor creases, ensuring you look professional even after a long commute or a busy afternoon on the floor.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The stable, high-quality weave of the Russell Oxford shirt makes it an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. For those seeking a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your company logo or staff names onto the chest or collar, providing a three-dimensional, premium look that enhances your brand's authority.
If your branding involves larger, more vibrant graphics, our printing services are equally effective. The fabric's smooth finish allows for clear, sharp transfers. Having been established in 1976, MyWorkwear has decades of experience in ensuring your customisation is applied with precision, helping your team stand out for all the right reasons.
Use Cases
This shirt is a versatile choice for a variety of roles. It is particularly popular within the hospitality industry, where staff need to look smart while remaining mobile. It is also an excellent fit for corporate office environments, sales teams, and trade show representatives who require a uniform that is both comfortable and authoritative. Because it is available in a wide size range, from 14.5" to 21", it is perfect for outfitting entire diverse workforces with a unified look.

Practical Advice
This shirt features a classic fit. When selecting your size, we recommend measuring your neck circumference accurately to ensure the button-down collar sits comfortably. Because this is a short-sleeved garment, it is excellent for temperature regulation in warmer indoor environments or during the summer months. For a layered look, it sits comfortably under a medium-weight V-neck jumper or a tailored blazer without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of your Oxford shirt, proper care is essential. Following these instructions will ensure the fabric remains crisp and your custom branding stays intact for the life of the garment.
We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime and oils while being gentle enough to protect the polyester fibres from heat damage and the cotton from excessive shrinking.
This garment is suitable for tumble drying. We suggest using a low-to-medium heat setting to prevent the fabric from becoming overly brittle, which can lead to premature wear around the seams and collar. Prompt removal from the dryer will also significantly reduce the need for heavy ironing, making the most of the shirt's easycare properties.
