^^^ But do you really disagree that there are significant downsides to letting retailers play such a large role in determining the look of Oxxford's suits?

A deadstock Oxxford Wilshire model suit in dark charcoal flannel arrived today. My guess is that it is circa 1962-1966 (small lapels, 2/3 roll).

I'm curious about the opening line of the video: "Oxxford Clothes is the only manufacturer left in the United States that still tailors suits by hand."
The statement excludes bespoke tailors (such as Despos and Logsdail) who essentially are small workshops. These top bespoke tailors offer the same or greater level of labor as Oxxford. Others do not.
I believe that it is only one in the world which hand sews the collar and lapels.
