A white royal oxford dress shirt with a cutaway collar and square French cuffs, cut from luxury 100% Giza cotton. Royal oxford gives the white a soft basket-weave texture and a gentle sheen, the cutaway collar opens wide for a fuller tie knot, and the French cuffs take your cufflinks. It is a business shirt that is ready for a boardroom, a wedding or a black-tie-optional evening. Every shirt is made to order in your size or to your own measurements.
Luxury royal oxford in 100% Giza cotton
Royal oxford is the dress version of oxford cloth. It uses a basket weave like a classic oxford, but with finer yarns, so the surface looks smoother and catches the light with a subtle sheen. Up close you can see a small woven texture, as in the fabric photo. From a distance it reads as a clean, bright white that sits well under a navy, charcoal or black suit.
The fabric is 100% Giza cotton. Giza is the name for the extra-long-staple Egyptian cotton grown along the Nile. Longer fibers spin into finer, smoother yarn, which is why Giza shirting is known for feeling soft and smooth against the skin.
Cutaway collar with 3-inch points
A cutaway collar has points that angle out toward the shoulders, leaving a wide space for the tie. On this shirt the collar points are 3 inches long and the collar band is 1.25 inches high. That opening gives a half-Windsor or Windsor knot room to sit without being squeezed. It also looks tidy with the top button open when you take the tie off after work.
Square French cuffs for cufflinks
French cuffs, also called double cuffs, are cut twice as long as a button cuff. They fold back on themselves and close with cufflinks. The corners on this cuff are square, the most formal and classic shape. This is the cuff to choose when you want a little more polish than an everyday office shirt.
The cufflink and the initials on the cuff in the photos are for styling only. Cufflinks are not included. You can add your own initials with the Customize option on this page.

How to wear a white cutaway collar shirt with French cuffs
Business formal: under a navy or charcoal suit with a silk tie in a half-Windsor knot. Add simple silver or gold cufflinks.
Weddings: for the groom, groomsmen or a guest, with a dark suit, a tie or bow tie and cufflinks that match your watch or ring.

No tie: open the top button under a blazer. The cutaway collar keeps its shape and frames the neck neatly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a royal oxford shirt?
A royal oxford shirt is made from a fine basket-weave cotton. It has the texture of an oxford shirt but uses finer yarns, so it looks smoother, has a slight sheen and is dressy enough to wear with a suit and tie.
Is royal oxford better than poplin or twill?
Each has a different look. Poplin is flat and crisp, twill has fine diagonal lines, and royal oxford has a small basket-weave texture with a soft sheen. Royal oxford is a good choice if you want a white shirt with more depth than poplin that still looks formal.
Can I wear a cutaway collar without a tie?
Yes. The wide spread of a cutaway collar looks neat with the top button open under a blazer. With a tie, it suits fuller knots such as a half-Windsor or Windsor.
Do I need cufflinks for this shirt?
Yes. French cuffs close with cufflinks or silk knots, not buttons. Cufflinks are not included. If you would rather use buttons, choose a button cuff through the Customize option.
Is this shirt good for a wedding?
Yes. A white royal oxford shirt with French cuffs is one of the dressiest shirts you can wear with a suit, which makes it a strong choice for grooms, groomsmen and wedding guests.
Can I add my initials?
Yes. Use the Customize option on this page to add a monogram and choose its placement and thread color.
How long does it take to make and ship?
Every shirt is made to order. Making time and delivery times by country are listed on our shipping policy page.
What if it does not fit?
Each shirt is made for one person, so returns work differently from ready-to-wear stores. If something is not right, contact us and we will work with you on a fix. Full details are in our refund policy.
