Blue and White Cotton Oxford Cloth Long Point Collar Shirt
This is Drake's take on the oxford cloth shirt, a style that has been worn for about a century and sits close to the centre of the house's range. Instead of the usual button-down, it has a long point collar with a floating interlining, so the collar sits neatly but stays soft. It is cut to a regular silhouette with single-needle seams and made in Drake's own factory in Somerset. It is meant to work across a wide range of settings, from tailoring to more casual clothes.

American Pima Light Blue University Stripe Oxford Cloth
We chose an American Pima oxford in a light blue university stripe because it matches the original's blue and white narrow stripe and its all-cotton oxford weave. We set a point collar with a soft, unfused feel, a one-button cuff, a front placket, a single chest pocket, a curved hem and mother of pearl buttons to follow Drake's details. Proper Cloth's long, narrow-spread collar options and cuff shapes do not line up exactly, so we used its Soft Point collar and Soft One Button Barrel cuff as the closest equivalents. The cloth is also heavier than Drake's midweight oxford.
This is an oxford woven from American Pima cotton in 80s two-ply yarns. It is a heavy weight with a soft hand and a matte surface. The pattern is a light blue and white university stripe, and the cloth tends to soften and gain character with repeated washing and wear.
