Oxford Clothes

American menswear label founded in 1916. In the USA, this label represents the non plus ultra of men’s suits, using some of the finest fabrics and designs in the world. Their clothes are produced in their Chicago factory, using tailors from all over the world. Crittenden Rawlings is president of the company. It takes 20 working hours to make one of their suits, with a record 1,125 hand-sewn stitches for its lining alone. Their prices are very high, and one can pay up to $8,000 for a silk suit. Their fabrics are one of the company’s trump cards: particularly the wool, which comes from England, Scotland, Italy, and New Zealand. They have recently added a pure silk suit to their range, copying styles worn by Edward, Duke of Windsor, which they bought at an auction. Lately they have introduced a more casual, lower cost range to attract a younger clientele.
