What We Do

Tom James is the world’s largest manufacturer and retailer of custom clothing and the engine behind some of the world’s most established tailored clothing brands. As one of the few remaining vertically integrated clothing retailers—meaning we control the entire manufacturing process ‘from sheep to suit’—we offer unparalleled value to those with an eye for quality. Our service model is based on a simple mantra: “We come to you with fine clothing.” Our clients never wait in line, fight for parking, or covet a garment that doesn’t come in their size. Our clients never settle, because we leverage the support of Tom James’ vertically integrated resources, nearly unlimited fabric and styling choices, plus, the technology of the digital age to offer our clients the individualized wardrobe service they prefer. The efficiency and value of our business model allows us to span all price points, from $800, entry level fully custom suits to the most coveted, 100% handmade garments in the industry: Oxxford Clothes, based in Chicago, using Holland and Sherry cloth. The Tom James Company operates offices in 37 states, the United Kingdom, France, Holland, Germany, Australia & Canada.
