Is the Sherfield shirt true to size?

It depends on the fit you choose. The slim version runs close to the body, while the loose and straight cuts are roomier. Check the size chart for the specific fit rather than assuming one size across the range.

What is the fabric like?

It is 96% cotton with 4% elastane, so it feels like an Oxford shirt but gives slightly when you move. The finish is wrinkle-free and breathable, which makes it easier to wear than a stiff all-cotton Oxford.

Can I wear it as a shirt dress?

The shirt is listed as a shirt-dress style in some versions, so the longer cuts can be worn that way. The standard shirt lengths are meant to be tucked or worn out with trousers.

How should I wash it?

Wash at 30 degrees and follow the care label. The mother-of-pearl buttons and white cotton mean you should avoid high heat and harsh bleach.

Does it have a pocket?

Yes, it has a chest pocket and embroidered detail. The pocket is a standard patch style.

Is it a good alternative to a plain Oxford shirt?

It offers more stretch and less ironing than a basic Oxford, plus the branded buttons and embroidery. If you want a plain, stiff Oxford, a standard all-cotton shirt will feel more traditional.
