Oxford Industries, Inc. is an international apparel design, sourcing and marketing company featuring 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, Oxford has undergone a transformation in recent years as the Company migrated from its historical domestic manufacturing roots towards a focus on designing, sourcing and marketing apparel products bearing prominent trademarks owned by the Company.
A key component of Oxford's business strategy is to develop and market compelling lifestyle brands and products that are "fashion right" and evoke a strong emotional response from our target consumers. As part of this strategy, Oxford strives to exploit the potential of its existing brands and products domestically and internationally and, as suitable opportunities arise, to acquire additional lifestyle brands that it believes fit within its business model. Oxford considers "lifestyle" brands to be those brands that have a clearly defined and targeted point of view inspired by an appealing lifestyle or attitude, such as the Tommy Bahama® and Ben Sherman® brands. Oxford believes that by generating an emotional connection with its target consumer, lifestyle brands can command higher price points at retail, resulting in higher profits. Oxford also believes a successful lifestyle brand can provide opportunities for branded retail operations as well as licensing opportunities in product categories beyond our core apparel business.
Oxford distributes its products through several wholesale distribution channels, including national chains, department stores, mass merchants, specialty stores, specialty catalog retailers and Internet retailers. Oxford also operates retail stores, restaurants and Internet websites for some of its brands.
Oxford's stock has traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 1964 under the symbol OXM. For more information, please visit Oxford's website at
