Product Insights
Polo Ralph Lauren's Classic Fit Gingham Oxford Shirt is an authentic Ivy League OCBD with a generous 1960s straight cut, priced at CAD 175 to match Brooks Brothers and sit above Gant. Crafted from 100% cotton oxford cloth with a basket weave that is more breathable than poplin, it softens noticeably after 2–5 washes and offers vintage-quality durability that resists pilling, holds shape, and preserves the woven gingham pattern. A split back yoke with box pleat prevents across-back tugging, and the hand-drawn single-rider logo is legally distinct from the US Polo Association mark. The main tradeoff is that it requires ironing, best done damp with steam, though the weave softens creases and buyers report negligible shrinkage.
