I didn't know Oxxford was owned by a Canadian company.

They probably hired him to help Obama look better.

Thats big news in the clothing industry... and yes Oxxford is owned by Spencer Hayes, but he doesnt touch it.

I was watching the Matt Lauer documentary they did about obama 6 or 7 months ago, and as he was getting out of his limo his tie rolled over and you could see the oxxford crest on the tie. That was only a couple of weeks into his presidency and he had already moved to oxxford. But you probably would too...

I never really knew Mike, but Scott is a really good guy, very passionate about Oxxford and tailored clothing in general.....they are in good hands.

Wearing a tie doesn't mean he "moved to Oxxford..."

As far as I know, the President is not an Oxxford tailored clothing customer.

It's a shame--it would be a lot more suitable than HSM. Maybe Oxxford could have put him in proper white tie

I don't think so. Remember, these are the same protocol folks who let him bow down to the King of Saudi and the emperor of Japan.

But maybe that's how he rolls.

Cohen is considered a "master tailor" who has improved Oxxford's styles, making them more appealing to a younger clientele, according to one source. Still, his experience in big corporations is limited.

Where to even begin with that paragraph.

Is there a hard and fast rule of what "Master Tailor" means ? It is obvious Mr. Despos is a "Master" but if you aren't cutting a suit every day and night how do you get to be that ?

I think 5,000+ posts on SF is the hard and fast rule.

Could be worse, he could have the same guys that would let him hold hands with a Saudi Prince.
