Stroll downtown chicago on a Monday in October, one starts to ponder if Chitown even close to New York in fashion. Well the windy city name is serving her right, beause New York is blowing us off the map on the fashion scence. A city of this magnitude has to make more of a stance in fashion. So we fellow chicagians have to stake our claim. We have all the tools. just think about it, in our city we have one of the greatest suit making factories in the world. i'm speaking of oxxford. The best hand made suit in the world is made right here in Chicago. You ask people from Chitown and to my surprise many people who consider themselves well dressed have never heard of Oxxford. Is that the cities fault or the companies fault. I think the city culd do more to promote such a treasure.
Oxxford has been around for 85 plus years. They make the suits the same way they did from the start. A man or a women in front of a sewing table. The final product is a work of art. A suit that you can wear fro many years. The price is the best value for your money out of all the big boys such as Zegna and Armani. The fashion hounds really get behind these two computer and state of the art sewing machine. I doubt if a hand touches oone of these garment until put into a shipping box. in other words all machine made verses Oxxford's hand sewing artisans. The price of Armani and Zegna Rivals Oxxford. The only suits in the ball park as far as make would be kiton and brioni. I want even tell you price, but just incase you have to know they start at five grand. Oxxford a mere two grand for the best made garment in the world.
So Chicago we need to get behind this line and blow our horns to let the world know that we are the best and we have the best timeless class and fashion in the world.
