Dear all sifus, anyone bought and tried this oxwhite shirt? The ads and promos are so hiong.

I'm wondering if it is legit...

Thanks bro!

Parking.. I would like to know if the hype is worth getting.

You do know it is common practice to inflate the price tag and then offer huge discount, when the after discount price is probably still includes 200% (arbitrary) profit margin right?

For RM400 you may get a very high quality bespoke shirt made in a tailor in Malaysia. If you look at tailors at savile row, the price point of a bespoke shirt (shirt, not suit) are just beyond normal Malaysians reach.

That being said, most of the ready-made shirts available in departmental stores in Malaysia are around RM69 and above. I hardly see anything less than that. But you see, the oxwhite brand are also factory made, not bespoke. So I pretty much expect similar quality, maybe a better cutting to suit the current trend compared to those in parkson or isetan

I have received mine..

Not bad quality for 69 bucks don't think its worth 400 as you can get tailor made for that price with better material.

Got mine yesterday as well. I concur with your opinion.

Just want to add that if you compare strictly factory made RTW, you might not be able to get this quality at 400.

Their claim about their shirts being made from 100% Supima cotton makes me extremely skeptical about their honesty. There are even different grades of Supima, but no one ever pays attention because its become something of a marketing buzzword.

Most of the glowing, long-winded, in-depth, essay-length reviews on their fb page seem to be fake or paid for. If you click into the fb profiles of their reviewers, they have shared multiple posts about oxwhite shirts on their timeline every now and then. Who the hell does that after only buying one shirt?

i had done my pre-wash review:

🔸Packaging: The first surprise-shirt come inside a signed cotton box, underneath is the shirt that wrap very nicely and with much care, it looks even more exclusive than my recent order from Mr Porter.

🔸Material: The shirt as mentioned are woven with Supima Non-Iron, which felt very smooth and firm, it could probably maintain that nice shape for the entire day out. The Fabric is slightly in a thicker side, but which is very good especially in a white shirt. Quality can be felt immediately, and the sewing is pretty nice and neat, not to be perfect, but is good enough to the price point.

🔸Fitting: I’m ordering Slim Fit sizing, and it fit very well to my size, nicely through the body without excessive fabric on the side, though the width of the collar might be slightly narrow for me. The length of the shirt is nice for tuck in with some buffer to avoid shirt come out easily. Arm opening is just good, no excess fabric under as well, and it doesn’t restrict your hand movement.

🔻Con: The plastic collar stay is sewing inside the collar, non-removeable, which i prefer it to be instead,in a collar stay pocket.

🔹Verdict: I have done some comparison with my current shirt- Uniqlo Super Non-Iron, G2000 Wrinkle-free, Banana Rep. non-iron: which could be easily cost double the price but it doesn’t seem too far from the build/quality and Oxwhite win in the fitting. I’m slightly skeptical about the claim of this it is a RM400 luxury, but if look on the price they offer-RM69, it is a steal!

I dislike the way it's being marketed. Kinda like how I dislike how fitgear is being marketed where they like to "put down" other brands way of doing things.

Oxwhite long sleeves, sleeve length is a little too long compared to Uniqlo. Anybody has any problems with Oxwhite having too long of a sleeve.

VS.
uniqlo oxford slim fit long sleeve shirt

For example, S size, the sleeve length for..
Oxwhite is 84cm
Uniqlo is 60cm

In fact all sizes of oxwhite, their sleeve length are 80+cm. Whereas for Uniqlo, theirs are only 60+cm

Nope. Their sleeve length is fine for me. Uniqlo dress shirts sleeve length are too short for me. Buy what fits you.

There's 2 measurement stated in Uniqlo: sleeve length from centre back and sleeve length from shoulder. Ox White only measure from the centre back. This would explain the difference in length.

May I know how tall are you? Just a rough estimation.

You're absolutely right! Thank you

i saw a review in facebook that said the shirt has some wrinkle after wash and is not easy to iron. Anyone face this issue?
was tempted to buy the shirt and want to hear more comments first

Just wanted to add my 2 cents. My biggest gripe about this shirt or rather the marketing is the "non-iron" aspect. This shirt is in no way at all "non-iron" and I will even say it takes longer to iron compared to my regular shirts (i.e. without "non-iron" marketing bs) as the wrinkles are extremely difficult to remove.

I have seen others mention this in the FB comments as well and you'll usually see the Oxwhite admin and the founder posting different versions of comments as such:

1. Even RM400++ shirts from XX brands require some ironing
2. Oxwhite shirt only requires 2-3 minutes of light ironing.
3. Show you a Youtube promotional video of a guy casually taking his shirt out from his luggage and ironing on the bed.
4. Tell you that if you have no iron while on vacation, just leave it in the bathroom with shower turned on so that the shirt will absorb the moisture and auto smoothen (BS of the greatest proportion)

All i can say is No 1-4 above are BS. Even when I handwash it, it still requires a fair amount of ironing. Whilst from the above it may seem that I absolutely hate the shirt, I have to say that RM69 for what you get is pretty reasonable. I like the material even though I have absolutely zero knowledge if its real 100% Supima cotton, i mean it doesn't matter if it feels good right?

The slim fit to me is not really that slim fitting, even for someone with love handles like me, I still feel there's excess cloth around the waist (while the other parts fit just nice). So all that talk about measuring the proportions of 70,000 men to come up with the perfect fit is either BS or Asian men are generally wide around the belly.

I would also like to end by saying best to get real world usage opinions rather than read their paid reviews or interviews. I have seen the Vulcan Post's rave review, but did you see the picture of the reviewer with the shirt on? IMO, it was so baggy he could barely take a picture of himself without the box or his cat blocking a part of his body and yet claimed it was a perfect fit. Maybe he truly has a very different definition of perfect fit.

TL;DR - Non-iron is BS, slim fit is not really that tapered, material is nice for RM69. Don't believe paid reviews. Not worth RM400 but would buy again at RM69.

1. Non iron doesn't literally mean non iron, but perhaps easier.
2. Most men wear shirts way tighter than it should be, so the perception of slim fit is very subjective here.

I'm in no way defending them at all but they've done a great job at marketing their BS. That piece of shirt is in no way worth RM400, at all. Fabric probably from an unnamed cheaper mill, plus mass produced ready to wear garments. Economies of scale.

All that Saville Row research is a whole lot of BS.

I have worn my oxwhite M size for 2 months and I do agree to you in every aspect. The wrinkles are very hard to be ironed out, in fact I never got a perfectly wrinkle free oxwhite after washing it. I have a very good (and expensive) iron and board, other brands like Sacoor's 100% cotton I can iron easily and no wrinkle after that. But for oxwhite, I always get wrinkle which is frustrating.

As for the fit, I am moderate size at 173cm, consider skinny fat with small belly. The M size fits my shoulder and arm length but too much excessive fabric on the torso. It looks like I am wearing 1 size bigger but I am not sure if S will fit my shoulder (can't try).

My verdict is that if you don't mind having micro wrinkles and if it fits you well, by all means go for it. Still a cheap price at RM69. However I would not consider it a RM400 quality shirt as they advertised.

Tip: try Faultless Heavy Starch. You can buy it from HOME PRO

I do think you have to be careful, in general, about using price as a proxy for quality. But in the case of a 17-dollar dress shirt -- and one that is mass-marketed, at that -- you can be very sure. Ain't nobody making any money at that rate unless they are selling you a shirt that costs at the very maximum ten dollars to make (and I suspect it's more like seven).

That's fine and all, and if works for people it works for people, but it will never -- never, ever, ever -- change the fact that the shirt cost seven dollars to make. That is *exactly* the quality you are getting. No more, and (one would hope) no less.

Hi guys, just wanted to get everyone's 2 cents here.

If a fully tailored shirt at RM158.00 will you consider that something that you'd order? Order time will take roughly 60 days. Material is latest nanotech material which is water repellent, and wrinkle free material. You can google up nanotech cloth and see what it is as well.

As mentioned I'm just here to get some ideas =)

If "fully tailored" means made to measure for you, with a test fitting garment and everything, then no, I wouldn't go for that. That is much less than you should expect to pay for a full tailoring experience. Surely a corner is being cut somewhere. The question of the "tech" fabric is another one altogether. It usually doesn't mean you are getting "more," but that you are getting less. In other words, high-end shirtmakers would typically use high-end cotton fabrics, not nanotech fabrics.

I guess it comes down to what problem you are trying to solve, by going custom as opposed to off-the-rack. This is something I'm figuring out for myself, too. It turns out that for me i'm probably better off just buying off the rack and having the sleeves shortened, rather than trying to concoct the perfect potion.

Actually no, all types of fabric has to go through some form of research to achieve the end product. Even the commonly heard Supima Cotton is a type of fabric which still undergoes constant changes in it's processing phase to achieve the final product. The fabric that I mentioned is a new blend only launch in 2019 and yes it's by well known tailors as well. If you walk into any custom tailor store, they too will show you different blend of fabric which comprise of pure cotton base or a blend.

But thanks for your 2 cents =)

what is the differences between their shirt and those sell in shops ? hmm

Surely you recognize why certain tailors would look to sell something different, right? That is very basic. But of course, it is not at all a guarantee that the "different" thing you are getting is better, or even as good -- or, gasp, even good.

When they start selling better leather from cows, will you be interested? Hint: You might think this is a trick quick question, and if so, you might be right.

I think the saying 'You get what you pay for' is very much true, especially in the clothing industry.

No matter how much you try to skim, even the fabric itself would cost more than that for a shirting length than what is offered. For a reputable and fine fabric of course. There are heaps of cheaper ones out there of course, but definitely with shorter staple, yarn, the way it is woven and the weaving machine.

There are heaps of proper shirting fabric out there, Acorn, Thomas Mason, Soktas, DJA, Bonfanti Tessuti to name a few.

And if they're surprisingly cheaper than whats out there, its either they've, like @Old Red Eyes said, took a shortcut in the manufacturing/tailoring process, or in fabric selection.

A good MTM/Bespoke or what people always call "tailored" shirt would be no less than RM500-600, in a reputable fabric. And depending if its Bespoke or not, that could just be the starting price of a house cloth of that tailoring house.

A friend of my brought it and thought it was premium quality. After wash and this is what happen. Think twice before buy.

G2000 all the way

What am I looking at? Creasing? I thought is normal? Non-iron is just a gimmick. I have Uniqlo non-iron work clothes, even G2000 work clothes with non-iron tech, results still the same. Only difference is non-iron is easy to iron out the creases compared to traditional cotton.

The shirt looked damn fine when it comes in the box. But once you wash it you get the quality as the picture above. It is very hard to iron out and during the day it will crumple or crease very easily if you are not careful. Anyone having this issue also?

damn that's annoying to iron out, even with anti wrinkle spray

Just wondering, do you use softener when washing the non-iron shirt?

Oxwhite white shirt can see nipple. Anyone have this problem also?

Non-iron shirts are generally stiffer. If you use fabric softener often, then it will just take longer to iron them. But for me I don't bother, I use fabric softener every 4th cycle of laundry for the month, keeps my clothes soft and nice.

This is normal, more prominent on thinner white fabrics. Not just for Oxywhite shirts.

always go for cotton.. other material was cause skin irritants.. like if you have eczema then synthetic material is a big no

Total bullshit.
It's a cheap plain white shirt. I bought a couple of them and really disappointed with the quality.

the shirt is not fitting at all, it's too loose!

Yes. Go buy Uniqlo undershirt - skin colour. Problem solved

The issue I had with Oxwhite is that its incredibly hard to iron out the wrinkles and creases. In comparison with G2000, whereby my steam iron just goes through a stubborn crease 3 times at most - Oxwhite needs at least 2x the effort with a worse effect.

I won't buy from Oxwhite again tbh. They only look nice before your first wash.

I'd totally just go for Uniqlo's officewear. They fit better, iron easier, and are around the same price point. If only G2000 did not retire their older 'slim fit' cutting to 'smart fit'...

Most shirts especially thin ones have this issue.
This is why you buy undershirts. This is from Uniqlo RM40 only:



For white shirts it is an absolute must to get the skin colour. Otherwise, it will look like this:



For dark colour shirts, you can get grey or white as long as the shirt outside is darker than the undershirt.

Just wanted to chip in with my Oxwhite experience.

I did buy a shirt with them before, the quality is acceptable, though I faced some issues with creasing like others mentioned, I don't have a problem to clear them out with my steam iron.

I wanted to order another batch of shirts, so I pre-ordered them in May 2019, with delivery scheduled sometime mid-August. Then around end-July I received a call stating that they've ran out of stock and whether I want a refund or not. Email communication afterwards clarified that I should expect my orders to be filled in October (unless those run out of stock as well i suppose).

How do you run out of stock on pre-orders, unless you've used the pre-orders to serve other orders instead i guess? Anyways, I don't feel like they're being good & honest sellers so I requested for a refund and won't be ordering from them anymore.

RM30 now. Didn't even know they sold these, haha. Seems like a reasonable undershirt, might get it.

https://www.uniqlo.com/my/store/men-airism-...4140610022.html

I got it too. It is better than wearing white singlet inside; ugly

To anyone who wants to test out the quality of these Oxwhites, they now have a store inside Isetan, The Gardens.
Went there, and all the display shirts there are wrinkled with creases, similar to the micro wrinkles you get on Oxford shirts.
And it seems, their shirts are visibly much thinner than other brands, being able to see your body parts more *ehem.

Despite marketing all their shirts as having the same grade Supima cotton, you can clearly see that their Mandarin collar line is the only one with a much better quality. Would get that one if anyone needs a mandarin collar.

Quite ashamed, cause I really like their tiny touches like their convertible cuffs for cuff links OR buttons.

Another marketing gimmick with paid reviews, and hyper-inflated features.

Damn it! Just ordered a few more shirts 2 weeks ago using the airasia20 discount code. Today they are selling even cheaper than 20% off!
https://oxwhite.com/collections/hot-deals

And the airasia20 code still works so it ends up about half price (probably unintentional so grab it while you can!) Hmmm....do I order some more or not?

Hi, need feedback for the oxwhite wallet. Anyone here got it and how is the quality ?

don't buy, not worth it, you can get better quality around that price when AEON got 50-70% discount

Aeon only sells crap, so oxwhite leather goods are even crappier? Well they certainly look that way in their pics!

Any pics of yours? Or you threw it away in disgust? Lol.

Any suggestion on which brand have better non iron shirts? Need to pick up a few next year

I bought a white one.
TBH, I quite like it. They've just jacked up their price to 99 now. I bought mine at 79. For the price, it's actually pretty reasonable. But definitely not the RM400 BS they're marketing.
For everyone saying it's difficult to iron, I beg to differ for my case as these are pretty easy iron for me or maybe I use a dryer that's why it helps a lot.
It's not as easy as H&M's easy iron shirts but it's fairly ok. I've owned shirts that's way harder to iron.

The fit though, it's definitely on the baggier side even for a fat guy like me despite being "slim fit tailored for Asian".

All in all, the price of 79, you're getting a good bang for your buck especially when you compare to Zalora's crapshit.

Agreed. Super wrinkled after the first wash and creases were harder to iron out than regular Uniqlo shirts.

I don't deliberately buy non-iron / easy-iron shirts, but surprisingly my best pair was a 'Navy & Navy' brand that came from FOS.
The material is like a softer oxford shirt material (but hard/thick enough that it doesn't show your nips lol) and after washing, even the sleeves don't have creases.

Unfortunately, only has like 3 or 4 designs.
