Basics Slim Fit Ketchup Maroon Oxford Checks Shirt

A slim fit oxford checks shirt in 100% cotton, rendered in Ketchup Maroon—a deeper burgundy tone that reads formal enough for office wear yet casual enough for weekend dinners. The fabric runs at 140 GSM with a tight plain weave, giving it structure without stiffness; this weight works well through Indian summers when you need something that won't cling after a few hours indoors with air conditioning. The button placket uses reinforced stitching at stress points, standard on most dress shirts but worth noting here since the maroon dye benefits from shirts that hold their shape through regular washing. Pair this with charcoal trousers or navy chinos for work; the check pattern is subtle enough that it won't clash with patterned ties. If you prefer solids, our full maroon shirt range includes plain weaves too. Check the fit against our size guide—the slim fit runs close through the chest, so size up if you're between sizes. Machine wash at 30°C to preserve colour depth.
