The details that make the difference, are handmade and carefully crafted care from the finest materials, the finishing touches and the heritage that combines classic tailoring with modern taste. This is Oxford Hounds’ range of handcrafted men’s polos, casual shirts, belts and small leather accessories.
Each shirt is tailored by hand in Italy in a small artisan workshop by master craftsmen who have been perfecting their art for generations. No shortcuts are ever taken. One of the company’s most iconic pieces is the Bexley shirt, a timeless classic that combines heritage and modernity, crafted from Egyptian cotton with a double-twisted jacquard weave, a distinctive pattern that sets it apart. It is a fusion of classic style and handmade quality, a homage to centuries-old traditions of craftsmanship. Then there is the Upton shirt, which features a superfine Royal Regents Oxford fabric blended with silk for timeless luxury: the details are exquisite, from its hand-embroidered accents to its mother-of-pearl buttons, which make it a piece of elegance and meticulous manufacturing in every stitch.
Oxford Hounds complements the look of its shirts with matching belts that use the same yarns and the same vision of style. Only Italian leather hides hand-finished with all-natural ingredients such as vegetable and plant-based extracts – for example, tree bark and vegetable tannins – are used in the dyeing process, which results in a much stronger and longer-lasting leather product. Everything is done by hand, so this natural vegetable tanning process takes far longer to complete.
Oxford Hounds’ range of leather belts completes its men’s look. The limited edition Hampshire model blends vintage charm and casual sophistication. With its vintage brass Paddock buckle, it exudes timeless luxury. Every detail reflects exquisite craftsmanship, from its finely stitched edges to its hand-cut belt holes. The true hallmark of opulence can be found on the underside, which is adorned with a scene of a classic Englishman on horseback accompanied by his loyal dog, a small detail that adds a touch of heritage.
Oxford Hounds was created to fulfil a lifelong vision of helping animals in need, and so every year a percentage of the founders’ earnings is donated to local and national animal charities and shelters to improve the lives of our best friends.
