Story

This Sal shirt is cut from a light blue oxford cotton fabric The collar is the perfect height for a button-down - not too tall and floppy, and not too fashion-forward small. It’s gone through a special wash that leaves the garment feeling soft and comfortable. The cuffs are rounded and convertible, there are side gussets, and a single breast pocket.

The threads are usually of a single color crossed with a white to give oxford its unique, checkerboard appearance. It's a versatile that can be worn casually or professionally depending on the thread count and finish.
