Fabric Story

A serious oxford cloth, sanded into a fuzzy cotton softness by Albini in northern Italy. At 200gsm of pure cotton this in on the heavier side for a shirting fabric, thick enough to prevent your sweat from showing through, with a nice stand off the body structure. Like all good oxford clothes it’s characterized by a dynamic unbalanced/rebalanced weave structure. The warp threads are thin (80/2) while the weft is four times thicker (10/1), a disequilibrium that is offset by using nearly twice as many yarns per mm in weft. What this means in practice is you get a plain weave with a lot more depth and dimension than a standard poplin or broadcloth, which in turn allows for a heavier shirting fabric without getting too hot or clammy. A good oxford cloth is a shirt fabric that can take a beating and should break in and age beautifully with wear.

The Afuzzyox differs from your standard oxford cloth partly due to Albini’s legendary attention to detail and vertical cotton supply chain and partly by being heavier than average, but mostly due to the fact that it is emerized (sanded essentially) into a smooth but fuzzy state that is halfway to a flannel but with a lot more structure. Soft and protective with a modest warmth, it’s a simple fabric that is a joy to wear.
