Mish and Ollie have been steeped in the family business from the start. Weekends were spent on the shopfloor, evenings in the stockroom, it was a good apprenticeship. This time spent in the business means not only do they appreciate what goes into making a great shirt, they also know their customers. The demand is for style and quality combined; shirts that are well designed and have versatility at their core, shirts that are guaranteed to ensure you look your best whatever the occasion – and now with their own motley crew of soon to be apprentices, the tradition of learning the ropes early looks set to continue.

We know we’re not perfect and change takes time. Each year we strive to be better than the last. Whether it’s working with suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint, phasing out single use plastics or introducing recycled and recyclable packaging, we’re moving in the right direction.

We have introduced shower facilities and cycle racks for staff, commenced a program to switch over hundreds of spotlights to LED and upcycled where the opportunity presents itself - flooring projects have been designed with reclaimed scaffold boards from projects on the Oxford Colleges of Balliol, Trinity and St Johns. We know we have further to go, but as a family business with the next generation in tow, we promise to keep getting better.

We are proud of our support for the WellChild Charity and numerous sponsorship programs we have with individuals and teams with similar values to our own. One of our key partnerships is with Oxford University Rugby Club. It is a link we are particularly proud of given the Oxford shirt’s beginnings and its sporting heritage. The club’s history is long and illustrious – as anyone who has watched a Varsity Match will know – and we are pleased to be able to supply the club with shirts in such a hard-wearing, good-looking cloth.
