Oxford Industries Issues Guidance for Full Year and

First Quarter of Fiscal 2006

Expects Strong Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2005 Performance

ATLANTA, GA.—Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) today issued guidance for both the full year and first quarter of fiscal 2006. Additionally, Oxford said today that it expects to meet or slightly exceed the top end of previously issued guidance for the fourth quarter ending June 3, 2005, of $1.00 to $1.10 in diluted earnings per share.

For the full fiscal year 2006, the Company is projecting total sales of $1.37 billion to $1.39 billion, driven by growth in the Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman brands as well as the Menswear Group. Diluted earnings per share for the full year are projected to be between $3.20 and $3.30.

The Company expects first quarter sales in the range of $325 million to $335 million and first quarter earnings to be between $0.55 and $0.60 per share.

J. Hicks Lanier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Oxford, Inc. commented, "We are pleased with the direction and strength of each of our major businesses. Most importantly, we continue to get a strong reception from the marketplace for both the Tommy Bahama and Ben Sherman brands. Tommy Bahama is experiencing good sell through and continues to have excellent growth potential, particularly through continued retail expansion, its Indigo Palms denim business, as well as through new categories of product and licensing. We believe that Ben Sherman is poised to build on very strong momentum to deliver strong growth, particularly in the United States. We believe that the combination of fashion, quality and value is just right for the market opportunity and expect to continue to see rapid growth."

Mr. Lanier continued, "Our historical businesses are also performing well. We believe that the improving profitability in these businesses and the growth prospects in our lifestyle brands have given us a highly compelling strategic position and varied avenues for growth. We are excited about the trend in our business and our outlook for the upcoming fiscal year and believe we have an excellent opportunity to continue to deliver strong returns to our shareholders."
