We are an international apparel design, sourcing and marketing
company that features a diverse portfolio of owned and licensed lifestyle
brands, company-owned retail operations, and a collection of private label
apparel businesses. Originally founded in 1942, we
have undergone a transformation in recent years as we migrated from our
historical domestic manufacturing roots towards a focus on designing, sourcing
and marketing apparel products bearing prominent trademarks owned by us.
As we embarked on our brand-focused business strategy, the first major step was
our acquisition of the Tommy Bahama brand and operations in June 2003. Then, in
July 2004, we acquired the Ben Sherman brand and operations. In June 2006,
another significant step in this transition occurred with the divestiture of
our former Womenswear Group operations which produced private label women’s
sportswear, primarily for mass merchants.
Oxford's wholesale customers are found in every major
channel of distribution, including national chains,
specialty catalogs, mass merchants, department stores,
specialty stores and Internet retailers. The Company
also operates retail stores, restaurants and Internet
websites for some of its brands.
