Classic Oxford shirt from acclaimed American shirtmakers, Gitman Vintage. Made in USA.
This shirt is cut and sewn from what many consider to be the best shirting fabric available: Cambridge Oxford Cloth. Distinguished from other Oxford cloths, our Cambridge Oxford is characterized by a 5oz, 40’s singles basketweave that strikes a balance between durability, softness, and pure class. Its gentle texture allows you to dress it up or down as you please, while a mid-weight hand makes Cambridge Oxford suitable for year-round wear. And because it softens with each wash, Cambridge Oxford only gets better with age. If we could only work with one fabric, this would be it.
Cambridge Oxford cloth was used for the very first shirt we made when our factory doors opened in 1978, and it continues to be our most popular fabric to this day.
Our classic Oxfords are made from 5oz 100% cotton Cambridge Oxford, a durable fabric that softens when washed but remains virtually indestructible. This fabric was used for our first stock shirt made in 1978 and it's the very same cloth that we use today.
Many of our design details are carried over from our first shirts as well. Barrel cuffs, a locker loop and rear box pleat, a rear collar button, and a tacked, V-stitch chest pocket are all included. These shirts also feature a robust, 4.5" cuff gauntlet with pleated sleeves for added wearability.
Construction of our oxfords starts with industry-leading 18 stitches per inch for durability, heavy-duty chalk buttons, and a lined placket for structure. All in, these details make for a shirt that's far more durable than it looks.
While others may not make 'em like they used to, we still do.

Formal or casual, tucked or untucked, our easy-wearing shirts are an obvious choice for all occasions.
In 1932, Brooklyn based shirt-maker Max Gitman left New York and opened the Ashland Shirt & Pajama Company in the coal mining town of Ashland, Pennsylvania. With his two sons, Alfred & Sheldon, he ran the factory as a contract shop until 1978 when the Gitman Bros. brand was born. Today, they are one of the few remaining shirt-makers with all their production based in the USA.
Launched in 2008, Gitman Vintage pays tribute to the brand’s rich heritage with a unique interpretation of the past. Each season, we return to the company archives and select fabrics from old line books, tweaking them with dyes and reworking patterns, scale and construction.
