Oxxford Clothes was founded in 1916 by Jacob and Louis Weinberg. The misspelling of "Oxford" was intentional. In 2016 Oxxford sold its historic building in Chicago's West Loop on Van Buren Street,[4] and moved to the Southwest Side on Archer Avenue near Midway Airport. Following the move, Oxxford partnered with Richard Bennett Custom Tailors in the Loop for client fittings.[5] Oxxford Clothes currently produces nearly 8,000 suits per year, far less than the 35,000 suits Oxxford produced annually in the 1980s.[5]
Clientele[]
Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Walt Disney and Joe DiMaggio wore Oxxford Clothes.[6]
