Meet our Cotton Oxford

Back in the 19th century, a guy who owned a Scottish textile mill had a brilliant idea for a marketing campaign: name the season’s fabrics after all the fancy universities. All the rich boys who go to these schools will want them and they will all sell - cue happily ever after. Well, it kind of worked! No one really liked the Cambridge, Harvard and Yale weaves, but the Oxford — now that was a hit. Known for its yarn’s criss-crossing basket weave, Oxford cloth became a mainstay of the closets of British polo players (it was breathable and the closest thing they had to sportswear).

NAOMI NOMI'S Oxford fabric hails from Japan. It is a super soft heavy cotton with that classic basket weave.

Clean, classic and ready to photograph or be photographed.

PS. Don't worry about that black bra (we wear tested so we know it won't show).
