The origins of the Oxford Cotton Button Down Shirt (OCBD) date back to 19th-century Scotland. The fabric from which it’s made is renowned for its signature basket weave structure—a triumph of textile engineering at the time. With an equal number of weft threads intricately crossed over an identical number of warp threads, it forms a fabric that is not only robust but also elegantly textured.
This shirt has secured its place in history, bridging the gap between smart and casual, and influencing several subcultures and style movements along the way.
The Real McCoy’s “Joe McCoy” rendition of the OCBD has been meticulously crafted from heavy Oxford cotton cloth and constructed using intricate, single-needle stitching. In homage to the OCBDs of the 1960s, a box pleat has been added beneath the shirt’s yoke. Other classic details include a single chest pocket, button cuffs, and mother of pearl buttons. And don’t worry: that all-important collar roll is guaranteed as well.
