Christian Kimber Garment-Dyed Oxford Shirt, Navy

Six centimetres is the number that matters and almost nobody prints it.

Collar points shorter than that lie flat and make a shirt look cheap under a jacket. Longer and they curl. Six is where an oxford collar rolls properly, and this one is hidden button-down so it does that without the buttons showing. Garment-dyed cotton oxford, made in Portugal, soft from the first wear.

Navy oxford is underrated. It does what a chambray does without looking like you are dressed as a carpenter.
