AS Colour Oxford Shirt | 5401

Description

The AS Colour Oxford Shirt is what you reach for when the job requires something more polished than a tee but less rigid than traditional corporate shirting. At 145GSM, this is a true midweight oxford — structured enough to hold its shape through a full shift, soft enough that staff actually want to wear it. The cotton construction takes embroidery without puckering and maintains a professional appearance through commercial laundering cycles.

Who Orders It

Hospitality groups outfitting front-of-house teams. Corporate offices replacing stiff dress codes with modern casual uniforms. Boutique hotels and upscale restaurants building cohesive staff wardrobes. Real estate brokerages and financial services firms wanting branded apparel that reads professional without feeling costume-like. Startup teams that outgrew the hoodie phase but still want to look approachable.

Decoration

Embroidery is the primary method here — left chest placement is standard, with cuff and collar options for elevated programs. The oxford weave provides a stable surface that holds detail at 8,000–12,000 stitches without distortion. Screen printing is possible but less common on button-downs; if you’re running a print program, work with your decorator on placement around the placket and pocket. DTG can work on larger back panel areas but the textured weave may affect fine detail rendering.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this shirt?
Embroidery. The oxford weave handles it cleanly, and the placement options — left chest, cuff, collar — give you flexibility for corporate or hospitality branding without overwhelming the garment.

Is this appropriate for restaurant or hotel staff uniforms?
Yes. The 145GSM weight is comfortable for full shifts, the cotton breathes reasonably well, and the construction holds up to commercial laundering. It’s a step above the typical polyester uniform shirt without the price jump of premium shirting.

How does the sizing run?
Regular fit, true to size. AS Colour maintains tight tolerance across production runs, so reorders match your original sizing. Check the size chart for chest and length measurements if ordering for a range of body types.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
