I'm all about the hot wash / hot dry on any clothes I really wear.

stuff like oxfords really benefit from it, but I guess like actual dress shirts and stuff I send out.

throwing on a heavy weight TB oxford fresh out of the dryer.. mmm

There's a pragmatic school of thought among old-school oxford wearers that oxford shirts are best worn straight from the dryer and not ironed.

TB shirts are pre-shrunk so not much, but when you first put it on you'll notice it fits a bit slimmer overall. Softens them up though for sure, especially over time. I mean warm/warm is good too, but won't shrink it.

I don't iron any of my shirts but definitely see ironing oxford shirts the same as going to a BBQ and using a knife and fork to eat stuff as cleanly as possible.

best temperature for drying oxfords? will save me a ton of time steaming shirts.

and never really got an answer, would it be fine to machine wash (delicate cycle) my geller shirt with a spin on extra low or just hand wash it?

I hand wash mine. Usually do that for most of my nicer shirts.
