What is Oxford Cloth?
Oxford cloth traditionally features a basket-weave structure, especially in cotton varieties. However, in today’s textile market, the term “Oxford” often refers to lightweight, sturdy fabrics-typically around 200 denier-made from polyester, nylon, or blends. These modern Oxford fabrics are valued for their strength, flexibility, and additional benefits such as water and wrinkle resistance, which have broadened their range of applications to include linings, bags, banners, and outdoor gear.

Top 4 Benefits of Oxford Cloth:
