Massdrop x Culturata Italian Oxford Shirt

Introducing the most comfortable Oxford shirt on the planet—and it has Italy coursing through every thread. That’s because it’s made, start to finish, in the mountains surrounding Milan, with every step of the process (sourcing, cutting, sewing, washing) done within a 120-mile radius by the best local artisans. The substantial American Oxford fabric has plenty of structure and it’s cut in Culturata’s most popular fit: one that’s tailored, but not unforgivingly slim, and meant to flatter a variety of body types. Details include a modern button-down collar and a mitered barrel cuff. Washed for unbelievable softness, your shirt will come out of the box feeling like you’ve had it in your closet for years.

Part of the famed, century-old Canclini Textile Group, Profilo Tessile is known for its ethical, sustainable approach to fabric manufacturing. The cotton for these shirts comes from a mill that specializes in heavier-weight American Oxford fabrics, where beautiful textiles are made using the highest-quality dyes and weaving techniques.
