English term or phrase: fitted pinpoint oxford shirt
This **fitted pinpoint oxford shirt** perfectly polishes the appearance of any professional. Made from 100% two-ply combed cotton with single-needle stitching throughout, this clean white shirt features flat-felled seams, adjustable cuffs and a button-down collar. And it's wrinkle-free for life!

I'm trying to find an elegant way to say this in Spanish and I am coming up empty.
Thanks for your suggestions!

Asker: Gracias Paula, pero me temo que Oxford es un estilo y no un emblema. Ademas es una camisa, no una camiseta. Igual, gracias por tu aporte.

camisa entallada en tela Pinpoint Oxford


Explanation:
en el diccionario de moda dice:
Pin-point / PinPoint: hilo que presenta puntos de colores incorporados,
pero en el siguiente enlace explican muy bien lo que es la tela Oxford:
"Existen distintas versiones de esta tela como la Royal Oxford, elaborada con hilos más finos que le otorga un tacto más suave, o la tela Pinpoint, mezcla de oxford y popelín".
A mi entender es un término que hay que dejar tal cual, sin traducir.
