A closer look at the Big Pontoons in a muted tone

Big Pontoons · The Oxford Shirt

Nov 1, 2026·

The Big Pontoons belongs to the Tops range and comes in a muted tone. It is oxford cotton, cut for regular wear rather than one season, which is why the construction matters more than the name.

How to wear it

Keep the palette tight — two tones plus a muted tone — and the outfit needs no further thought.

Fit

The silhouette is deliberately plain. That is the point: it does not fight a jacket, a knit or a heavier shoe.

Care

Wash cold, inside out, hang to dry. Skip the dryer: heat is what shortens the life of oxford cotton. A soft brush handles most marks.

Fabric

Made from oxford cotton, the Big Pontoons resists creasing and holds its colour when washed cold. It feels substantial without being heavy.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

Nothing here is designed to impress at first glance. The point is that it keeps working, season after season.
