Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight Oxford fabric, this garment is designed for longevity. The 100% organic cotton construction is not only soft against the skin but also exceptionally durable, holding its form well after repeated laundering. The fabric choice is particularly significant for those prioritising ethical procurement; it carries GOTS, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Peta-Approved Vegan, and Fair Wear Foundation accreditations.
The medium fit is engineered to follow the body's natural contours without being restrictive, making it an excellent choice for front-of-house staff or office-based teams who require a polished appearance. The internal yoke is finished in self-fabric, providing a clean interior finish that speaks to the high manufacturing standards of Stanley/Stella.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This Oxford shirt is a superior canvas for branding. The medium-weight fabric is particularly well-suited for embroidery, as the stable Oxford weave supports dense stitch counts without puckering. This is ideal for company logos or staff names, creating a permanent and professional corporate identity.
For organisations looking for larger, more vibrant branding, the smooth surface of the organic cotton also takes print exceptionally well. Whether you require a subtle breast-pocket logo or a bolder design, our in-house team in Telford—drawing on nearly half a century of expertise—will ensure a high-quality finish that stands the test of time.
Use Cases
The Stella Oxford is a versatile staple for modern workwear. It is ideally suited for hospitality management, corporate office environments, and high-end retail uniforms. Its sustainable credentials also make it a preferred choice for eco-conscious businesses looking to align their uniform policy with their brand values.

Practical Advice
The Stella Oxford is a medium-fit garment. For a more relaxed, oversized look, you may wish to consider sizing up. It layers excellently under knitwear or tailored blazers for a smart-casual ensemble. Please note the tear-out tag, which is useful for those wishing to prevent skin irritation or for businesses looking to re-brand the interior neck area.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity of the organic cotton and the vibrancy of your custom branding, we recommend a domestic machine wash at 30°C. Washing at higher temperatures can cause the natural fibres to shrink and may degrade the adhesive properties of any printed elements.
Always wash and iron the garment inside out. This simple step protects the face of the fabric and any embroidery or print from direct abrasion during the wash cycle and from potential heat damage during ironing. Please ensure you do not iron directly over any printed areas, as the heat will cause the design to smudge or peel.
Bleaching should be avoided at all costs as it will weaken the organic fibres and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, we advise against tumble drying; allowing the shirt to air dry naturally on a hanger will help maintain its shape and reduce the need for heavy ironing. Finally, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals used in the process can be detrimental to both the organic cotton and your customised logo.
