My father, who has worked at this company for over 45 years, is part of this wonderfully film video. I feel nothing but pride as I watch how it is all put together from tailors, to materials, to cutters, to sewers, to the finished product. ANYONE who owns a suit should wear it knowing that dedicated hands have constructed this beautifully made product that we as Americans, should take pride in wearing. Thanks DAD!!!
Just found two marvelous Oxxford suits for only $10 each at the thrift shop. Working cuffs too... beautiful condition. Truly an amazing suit. Very fortunate find.
I must say, being a 43 year old man have only been lucky enough to own 1 Oxford tailored suit.Which I actually bought at a Goodwill store for only $15.00 .But the fellow who owned it before was quite possibly my "evil twin" ,I saw it , loved the material,saw the label ,and nearly fainted,then after trying it on in fitting room felt the quality and the fit,the former owner had to be a small guy like me (even the pants length was perfect)the suit, in perfect near new condition! I generally only wear this suit for formal occasions being it is a true three piece with additional overcoat(found at same store the next week for $10.00) including the tags and same material ! I may never get my own tailored for me , but must say, Thank You, to the family who donated it to the Goodwill. I plan on wearing this suit for my burial,I was but a poor man in life but will be dressed to the nines for the meeting with my maker! Please find young folks interested in such a dying art form as Oxford Tailors in order to keep hand made and made in America a tradition !
lildeanturbonc I own several Oxxford Clothes suits including one that looked brand new that I also found at a thift store for around $35.00 (amazing) .... the quality is perfection...I have 5 suits...3 are Oxxford and I have worn each suit at least 500 times each and they always look brand new (I do go to a high end cleaners....I have had a couple suits ruined at cleaners)
I picked up an Oxxford sports jacket from the ebay a couple of months back, and a suit more recently from the thrift store. Quite special. I wear them as much as possible.
I own a few Oxxford pieces. I take great pride in wearing my favourite Oxxford suit. It fits perfectly and the fabric is amazing. I love the roll of the lapel. I love that video.
thank you so much for sharing this. i will show this to my high school students i know they will love it hitting the 19th century in world and american history. so i know they will love this. if i had the money i would love to have a few suits of that quality but the only thing i can do is dream.
Oxxford suits, I turned 57 last december... I'm very close to achieving my lifes dreams and goals. When i cross over I want a wardrobe of Oxxfords and a Rolls Royce and of coarse the house to match. Zig Ziglar said to me when I was about 22 you can have anything you want in life if you'll just help enough other people get what they want in life! Along with "I will persist until I succeed" the great OgMandino writes. I'm about to cross the goal line! A nominal price for sweet victory! Thank God!
To be a customer requires a complete change of current thought. These suits cost big money. But what you get is a garment that almost takes care of it's self. You don't dry clean these things more than maybe once a year. Fine suits air out on they're own and freshen up. They can be tailored and retailored if your not going much bigger. You're buying a 20 year garment. Specifically tailored and engineered for your application. Shielding, body armor, flash protection, are possible options.
Hardly. This is made to measure. A bespoke suit, you have a tailor right there who sees you. A human body is complex 3d shape. How many data points accurately model it? The typical measurements that a bespoke aren't enough to do with out ever seeing the person.
You have breast measurment, waist, seat, shoulders are basic for a jacket. For a bespoke tailor this is enough to cut the pattern. Then on first fitting the tailor uses their own preference to take in or out various sections to get the fit they want.
A mtm you have basically the same mearuements. But this now is not enough, how do you know if the person's back curves backwards, forward? The same basic suit on one would stick out in back or stick out in front, looking off balanced and unsightly. A bespoke tailor can add and remove fabric here and there to contrast and add where the body is lacking or too much. For mtm to really work you would need 3d points or coordinates as well as simply single dimension measures. Very simply one can see mtm isn't as good.
So it is highly irrational to think a mtm suit will fit you, make you look well or pleasing to the eye, any better than off the shelf. Then considering if this is more expensive, often times the off the shelf department store suit looks just as well, and is cheaper. Buy that take it to local tailor and have them take in waist here and there, probably look better than mtm. Just my opinion.
I applaude you guys!! It surely is not easy to keep that level of soverteignty and quality these days, when everyone else is being eaten by bigger companies or shipped to Cina.. I think you're a Gem!! :))
I'm Lucky enough to have an Oxxford Sport Coat in my wardrobe and even my Brioni doesn't compare to the quality, shape, and fit. I think I'll wear it today...
@jusu313 There are very few products which my family and close friends purchase which are NOT made in the USA. Everyone comes to me for purchasing information. From clothing, art supplies to tools. Almost everything we purchase is made in the USA. You will have trouble with some electronics though. Our personal LCD's are made in Mexico (I have no problem with this) and my PC's internal hard drives are made overseas.
You got it all wrong. These suits are built to last, instead of the mass-produced slop at Bank, Wearhouse, etc. What they are a metaphor for is a culture that prides things that last, rather than things that are machine made. I get the "sell more, get more dollars" mentality. But at some point, that kind of thinking will need to go away. But that's long after you and I are dead, so just keep consuming.
I've heard this said about cabinet and furniture making but the reality is these skills are around in about the same amount as always.. IKEA and others are "in addition to" not "instead of"
@Dimitri0809 No. No they don't. Again, the third law of thermodynamics establishes that everything is subject to entropy, including machines that make clothes. There has to be people to maintain the machines.
its quite funny watching this. My great grandmother told me that when clothes/products/anything really started being made by machines it was more expensive than handmade goods as people all agreed that machines made consistently better quality. But I guess then you lost that 'fits like a glove' fit.
@Dimitri0809 wow this guy is really angry for a really stupid reason. anyway, i really respect what Oxxford is doing. as soon as i make a little bit more money, an Oxxford suit is high on my list of things to get.
@Dimitri0809 If you're not paying anyone to do work for you then probably nobody is paying you to do work for them either, so the system stops. You would have no money to buy the new, cheaper goods, nor anyone any reason to provide them.
At the end the narrator says "when there's a better way to make a suit we'll change....well perhaps it's time to change". I hope they don't, but there IS a better way to make a suit.
I have at least three oxxfords in my closet and I really like them and they are worth the thousands I paid for it . However your intro video needs to be significantly better. ..
TN MUSlC Hahahah! Your attempt at pulling the racist card is very comedic. I got that term from one of my childhood cartoons. Relax...it's an intro video to a haberdashery, not the rewriting of the magna carta.

I'll buy them both for an even $25, still got them?
Please STAY in the USA. I am proud of you folks. Thank you!
This video is very impressive. It's great to see what America is able to create by hand. I always knew this was a wonderful garment.
Awesome Video explaining how the best of the best is made

Aw, don't take it to the grave. Let someone else wear it. It will keep the tradition alive.

ian ethan vloke-wurth I had a Brioni given a glazed look from over pressing and too much heat by an idiot dry cleaner. I feel your pain.

@@JasonDebly how do you make sure this doesn't happen?

Really proud to be representing this company starting June 1st. Truly an amazing product carrying on a lost art.

This is the best suitmaker in the world. Stunning quality and fit. Thank you.!

I love Oxxford!! The clothing, fabrics,feel,qualityand look of these clothes are bar none in the U.S. I sell custom. And love it!
Impeccable!
I have an eBay store and Oxxfords are my best seller. I love their suits!
Nice video
Probably way beyond my means, but I am happy to see things still made here in the USA!
@jamesdkirk What a great idea for my personal incentive to fit into one (without having to re-fit)!
@Dimitri0809 And who builds the machines?
I'm Lucky enough to have an Oxxford Sport Coat in my wardrobe and even my Brioni doesn't compare to the quality, shape, and fit. I think I'll wear it today...

WELCOME TO CHICAGO
@llesniak9 Which one is your dad? This is a cool video. Do you get free suits? lol
I've heard this said about cabinet and furniture making but the reality is these skills are around in about the same amount as always.. IKEA and others are "in addition to" not "instead of"
@Dimitri0809 No. No they don't. Again, the third law of thermodynamics establishes that everything is subject to entropy, including machines that make clothes. There has to be people to maintain the machines.
See how old the pattern cutter was? That's the sad part to these traditions, soon there will nobody left with the skill.
nonsense, we still have these skills, plenty of young people. Nothing stoping you from learning this trade.
Oxford is also made in the Philippines
its quite funny watching this. My great grandmother told me that when clothes/products/anything really started being made by machines it was more expensive than handmade goods as people all agreed that machines made consistently better quality. But I guess then you lost that 'fits like a glove' fit.
Each suit takes 8 years to make (backlog), and costs $53,000 (have kids in college).
tailor in chiang mai
Please let me join the tailors I'm so much interested in and I have some experiences.....
@Dimitri0809 wow this guy is really angry for a really stupid reason.

We make the best suits ,because we invented the bloody things as with the shoes ,the Oxford and the Brogue ...Thats the British of course !
I have at least three oxxfords in my closet and I really like them and they are worth the thousands I paid for it . However your intro video needs to be significantly better. ..
You gonna direct for them cornball?
TN MUSlC I really would chizzler...
newmedstudent You ment "Chizzler" for a slur against asain?
TN MUSlC Hahahah! Your attempt at pulling the racist card is very comedic. I got that term from one of my childhood cartoons. Relax...it's an intro video to a haberdashery, not the rewriting of the magna carta.
@newmedstudent Lol Oh I really dint know. I had to google what chizzler ment. One of the term that came up was a derogatory slut against Asain.
@Dimitri0809 reality check buddy, even the air you breath is not free.
Americans now buy expensive italian things now......
Best or nothing..
Stop just trying to buy one. Learn how to make one. And someday America will be OK again.
