Oxford Cotton
The story

Oxford is a basket weave: pairs of warp yarns crossing the same number of weft, which gives it the dotted surface you can see up close and the slight give you feel when you put it on. Ours is woven on 100% cotton in plain and stripe, plus one heavier quality with the same structure at more weight. It is the shirt cloth that works unironed, because the texture absorbs a crease that would sit there in plain sight on a poplin.

Why choose it

For a shirt that looks intentional whether or not it saw an iron this week.

01

Texture over polish

The basket weave breaks up the light, so a crease reads as surface rather than neglect.

02

One structure, multiple patterns

Plain or striped, all on the same cotton base.

03

A heavier version

The same weave at more weight, for the shirts you wear as a light layering piece.

What you pay for

Specialist Shirt: €79 here. €119 average market price.

Average market price is what a comparable piece costs from a brand that sells through other people's shops: department stores and multi-brand retailers. That price has to carry the brand's margin and the shop's margin, stacked. Ours carries one.

Our margin

Margin is not profit. It goes to getting the piece to your door: shipping, returns, the warehouse. Then to running No Label: the team, the stores, the fit sessions, the photography. What is left goes into next season's fabric. On sale pieces there is often nothing left at all, because overstock is money sitting in a warehouse and we would rather it moved than marked up.
