Illustrative face of a repeating weave. Warp runs vertically; weft runs horizontally. Colors, yarn thickness and spacing are examples, not a production specification.

How it is made

It uses the Oxford grouping principle with finer yarns than a coarse casual Oxford. CottonWorks distinguishes pinpoint as using warp and filling yarns of equal size.

How to recognize it

Examine the small basket-like crossings under magnification rather than expecting an obvious dot print.

Common uses

  • Business shirts
  • Formal shirts
  • Blouses

What to distinguish

Pinpoint Oxford should not be confused with an arbitrary pinpoint-sized printed dot.
