What is Oxford shirting fabric used for?
It's commonly used for shirts, uniforms and children's clothing, thanks to its firm, regular weave.
What's the difference between the cotton and cotton-polyester versions?
100% cotton gives a classic, breathable feel, while the cotton-polyester blend is more durable and better suited to workwear.
Is this the same fabric used for waterproof awnings?
No — this Oxford fabric is a shirting-weight fabric for garments. For a water-resistant outdoor Oxford fabric for awnings and pergolas, see our dedicated Oxford Fabric collection.
Can I order free samples before buying?
Yes, free samples are available so you can check the weave and colour first.
