shirting

Oxford cloth, perhaps

Shirting is fabric suitable for making shirts, typically woven cotton or cotton blends in weights and textures appropriate for dress shirts or casual button-downs: The tailor showed us several bolts of fine shirting.

The term appears mainly in textile retail and garment manufacturing contexts.
