After Drake’s · Autumn/Winter 2022
Blue Cotton Oxford Cloth Long Point Collar Shirt
Drake's long point collar shirt takes the familiar oxford cloth button-down and leaves out the buttons at the collar points, giving it a longer, more formal collar. It is made in the company's own factory in Somerset, cut to a regular silhouette, and finished with floating interlining in the collar and single-needle seams. The collar lies flat either with a tie or open at the neck, so the shirt can go with tailoring or with casual trousers.

In Proper Cloth
Washed Royal Blue Lightweight Oxford
We chose a washed royal blue oxford from Proper Cloth because it is the closest solid blue oxford in the range. Its washing makes it soft from the first wear, which suits a cloth that is meant to wear in. Proper Cloth's collar options do not include an unbuttoned long point, so we used its soft point collar. We also set a one-button barrel cuff, a single chest pocket and mother of pearl buttons to follow the original. Proper Cloth adds a split yoke, a shallow curved hem and a button on the sleeve placket, and no box pleat is listed in the design.
A solid royal blue oxford in pure cotton, made to be lighter and more breathable than a standard heavy oxford. It is washed before making up, so it feels soft and worn in from the start, and like other oxfords it should get softer with washing while staying hard-wearing.

- Care
- This one also receives a special washing to give it a soft, broken-in feel from day one. Oxford cloth is heavier than business dress shirt fabrics—subtly textured and highly durable, it only gets better the more you wear and wash it. Finish: No Treatment.
