Oxford Industries Announces Completion of Offering of $150 Million Senior
Secured Notes Due 2015

- Accepts 86.68% of 8-7/8% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2011 Received by Early
Tender Deadline -

ATLANTA, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE: OXM)
announced today the completion of a private offering of $150 million aggregate
principal amount of 11.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 (the "Senior Secured
Notes").  The net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Secured Notes, together
with borrowings under the Company's domestic revolving credit facility, will
be used to fund the repurchase, repayment or discharge of all of the
$166,805,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8-7/8% Senior
Unsecured Notes due 2011 (the "2011 Notes") outstanding for which it is
currently conducting a previously announced tender offer.  

The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by all of the
Company's existing domestic subsidiaries that currently guarantee obligations
under the Company's domestic revolving credit facility.  The Senior Secured
Notes are generally secured on a first-priority basis by a lien on the U.S.
registered trademarks and certain related rights of the Company and its
guarantor subsidiaries and a second-priority security interest on the assets
that secure the Company's domestic revolving credit facility.  

The Senior Secured Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant
to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws.  Therefore, the Senior Secured Notes may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemption from
such registration requirements.

The Company also announced today that it has accepted for payment, and has
paid for, $144,584,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2011 Notes,
representing approximately 86.68% of the previously outstanding principal
amount of the 2011 Notes, tendered pursuant to the Company's previously
announced offer to purchase any and all of the 2011 Notes (the "Offer").  The
Offer remains open and will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
July 13, 2009 (the "Expiration Date").  Any additional 2011 Notes tendered
prior to the Expiration Date are currently expected to be accepted for payment
on July 14, 2009 at a price of $970 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2011
Notes validly tendered.  The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth
in the Offer to Purchase dated June 15, 2009.  Oxford may amend, extend or,
subject to certain conditions, terminate the Offer.
