Ivy Shirt – White Oxford

You’ve been searching all over the place looking for the perfect shirt and, after all that, they were hiding right here in lovely Accrington. For years it seems that people have been releasing shirts inspired by the ‘glory’ years of ivy-style dressing, but never fully ticking all the boxes required to make a shirt that I would want to wear on my back, so in true TRiCKETT style… we made our own. This shirt is made from a custom-woven oxford cloth which is made to our exact specification. Not too heavy, not too light and can be worn in formal and informal settings. The fabric has a real tough handle to it and has been the go-to cloth of Ivy enthusiasts for decades… and with good reason! As if that wasn’t enough, we have thrown all the Ivy details that you could ever want at this shirt to make it even better. Let’s start with the collar. Ours comes completely unlined and free of any fusings or stiffeners in order for the shirts to feel more relaxed and for us to develop that wonderful collar roll. The collar points are 3.5″ as per the request of every Ivy- Leaguer in the world and obviously they come with a button-down collar and a button at the back of the collar because it looks nice and keeps your tie in place, should you wish to wear one. The buttons throughout the shirt are made from mother of pearl, not those cheap polyester buttons which most makers use nowadays. There is a chest pocket on the front of the shirt and on the back there is a centre box pleat to give you a little more room across the shoulders. There is also a hanging loop as per the original shirts made back in the day. There is a curved hem, French seams throughout, single-button barrel cuffs and a button on the sleeve placket. The arm holes are a little higher for added movement and for a bit more of a contemporary look. The shirt itself is cut for a little extra movement, but by no means is it oversized or sloppy, take your normal size for a relaxed, look. All of our shirts are made expertly in Portugal by Antonio and his team. The shirts have been manufactured so that they will be a long-term companion. 100% Cotton.
