The Spencer Hays Story

A self-made businessman, Spencer took his love for fine clothing and his fine business sense to form the world's largest manufacturer and retailer of custom men's (and women's) clothing.

He traveled a great deal. He loved fine clothing and began thinking of the advantages of having an easier and more satisfying way to shop. The concept for Tom James was born out of that desire.

Over the years, Hays and Tom James Company acquired the companies that made the suits and shirts and the mills that made the cloth.

Holland & Sherry

Since 1836, Holland & Sherry has been supplying cloth to prestigious tailors and luxury labels around the world.

From its headquarters on historic Savile Row in London, Holland & Sherry provides the world's finest Merino wool, cashmere, mohair, vicuna, silk, cotton and linen cloth.

Tom James is proud to feature the artistry and tradition of Holland & Sherry, our largest supplier of cloth.

Oxxford Clothing

Oxxford Clothes is the last manufacturer left in the United States that still tailors suits by hand. It is the standard by which all other men's tailored clothing is judged.

In 2016, Oxxford Clothes celebrates its 100th year of providing fine tailored menswear to the world’s most discerning clientele.

The motto of America's most iconic clothing brand says it all: "Always Be Faithful to Quality."

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"Just acquired a couple of new suits through Ben. Very pleased with the quality, cut and fit - immeasurably better than off-the-rack and very well finished. Ben was very professional and, having bought high quality suits in the past, these are as good as I have seen (if not better in some of the attention to finish and detail)."

Ben Mayer

Tom James of Germany

"I have purchased all of my suits and dress shirts from Ben Lawler of the Tom James Company for the last 10 years. The cloths are of excellent quality, but what really sets this company apart, is their focus on customer service. The process of selection, fitting and delivery could not be easier. Ben takes the time to listen to my preferences, give current fashion advice and follows up on every detail. I can't imagine going back to shop for my clothes the department store way."
