OCBD Grande Shirt Red University Stripe

Whilst our classic OCBD shirts sit comfortably with both relaxed and dressed-up ensembles, these latest additions to the Grande range are intended to be entirely casual. Cut on our more generous block, with a boxy fit and slightly exaggerated proportions across the pocket, collar and placket, they are to be worn with denim, chinos and the most informal tailoring in our collection.

A range of new stripes have been woven for us by Thomas Mason in Italy, using the same Oxford quality as our core OCBD range, a dry yarn that has plenty of presence and depth. The hills above Bergamo are to cotton weaving in Italy what Biella is to wool. Water and industrial power are key to production and this region has the best of both, with San Pellegrino just a stone’s throw away. Equidistant is the workshop that produces our shirts, with their deep ‘S’ roll collar, classic fit and iconic details. It’s the handwriting of the region that makes our shirts so popular, precise yet characterful and entirely made in Italy.

Balancing texture with stability and performance, the fabric is true to our ethos of sturdy cloth that can be worn with knitwear, denim, and flannel. Piece dyed for a matte and dusty finish, the shirts also feature a large collar roll, pocket, rear box pleat with locker loop as well as a single placket and slightly cropped fit, to be worn tucked or untucked.
