OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTERS ENDED AUGUST 29, 1997 AND AUGUST 30, 1996
(UNAUDITED)

1. The foregoing unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the year.

2. The financial information presented herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended May 30, 1997.

3. The Company is involved in certain legal matters primarily
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, the Company's liability under any of these matters
would not materially affect its financial condition or results of
operations.

4. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 128) "Earnings
per Share." The new standard simplifies the computation of earnings
per share (EPS) and increases comparability to international
standards. Under SFAS No. 128, primary EPS is replaced by "Basic"
EPS, which excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. "Diluted" EPS, which is
computed similarly to fully diluted EPS, reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted to common stock.

The Company is required to adopt the new standard in its year-end
1998 financial statements. All prior period EPS information
(including interim EPS) is required to be restated at that time.
Early adoption is not permitted. Pro forma EPS, as if the Company
adopted SFAS No. 128 for each period presented are as follows:

For the quarters ended
August 29, 1997 August 30, 1996
Basic EPS $0.61 $0.40
Diluted EPS $0.61 $0.40





























Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations


NET SALES
Net sales for the first quarter of the 1998 fiscal year,
which ended August 29, 1997, increased 12.0% from net sales for
the first quarter of the previous year. Oxford Shirt Group sales
increased by 12.2%, the result of increased sales in Tommy
Hilfiger Golf, Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts, Oxsport and
Polo/Ralph Lauren for Boys offset by decreased sales in private
label dress shirts. Lanier Clothes sales increased by 6.9%, the
result of increased sales in Oscar de la Renta and the initial
first quarter sales of Nautica offsetting decreased sales in
private label. Oxford Slacks posted a sales increase of 16.3%,
primarily in specialty catalog. The Oxford Womenswear Group
posted a sales increase of 13.7% primarily in the Sportswear
Collections division.

The Company experienced an overall net sales unit volume
increase of 12.8% and an overall 0.6% decrease in the average net
sales price per unit. Increased sales in the Oxford Womenswear
Group with a decreased average net sales price per unit slightly
offset increased sales in the licensed designer divisions with
increased average net sales price per unit.

COST OF GOODS SOLD
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 81.0% in
the first quarter of the current year as compared to 81.7% in the
first quarter of the prior year. The decrease in cost of goods
sold as a percentage of net sales was due in part to increased
sales of higher margin lines. Another factor contributing to
the decreased percentage of cost of goods sold was a 13.2%
reduction in the Company's domestic production capacity and a
9.4% increase in the Company's offshore production capacity from
the same period in the prior year.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
$2,109,000 to $26,795,000 or 13.9% of net sales in the first
quarter of the current year from $24,686,000 or 14.3% of net
sales in the first quarter of the prior year. The two major
contributors to this increase were increased selling, general and
administrative expenses associated with the start-up of Geoffrey
Beene and Nautica tailored clothing and increased advertising
associated with licensed designer divisions. Subsequent to the
end of the first quarter, one of the Company's customers, Bedford
Fair, filed for bankruptcy protection. In the first quarter, the
Company had adequately provided for this subsequent event.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Net interest expense declined by $115,000 to $981,000 or
0.5% of net sales in the first quarter of the current year from
$1,096,000 or 0.6% of net sales in the first quarter of the prior
year. The slight reduction in interest expense is due to lower
average short-term borrowings.

INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate was 39.0% in the first
quarter of the current year and 40.0% in the first quarter of the
previous year and does not differ significantly from the
Company's statutory rate.

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
Although apparel sales at retail have improved during the
quarter, the Company has experienced a slowdown in wholesale
booking in some groups. The Company continues to expect another
record year in sales and earnings, but will not maintain the high
percentage increases of the first quarter.






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Operating activities used $36,094,000 during the first
quarter of the current year and used $22,891,000 in the first
quarter of the prior year. The primary factors contributing to
this increased use of funds were a larger increase in accounts
receivable than in the prior year offset by a decrease in
inventory in the current quarter compared to a slight increase in
inventory in the prior year. The increase in receivables and the
decrease in inventory are both functions of normal seasonal
activity.


INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Investing activities used $1,711,000 in the current period
and $873,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The
change was the result of increased spending for capital
expenditures, primarily for the new Oxford Slacks manufacturing
facility in Mexico.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Financing activities generated $38,758,000 in the first
quarter of the current year and generated $26,606,000 in the same
quarter of the previous year. The primary difference was
increased short-term borrowing activity in the current year.

On October 6, 1997 the Company's stockholders approved two
employee stock option plans, one restricted and one non-
restricted.

On October 6, 1997 the Company's Board of Directors declared
a cash dividend of $.20 per share payable to shareholders of
record on November 14, 1997.

WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital increased from $138,155,000 at the end of
the first quarter of the prior year to $150,640,000 at the end of
the 1997 fiscal year and increased to $155,432,000 at the end of
the first quarter of the current year. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 2.1 at the end of the first
quarter of the prior year, 2.6 at the end of the prior fiscal
year, and 2.2 at the end of the first quarter of the current
year.

FUTURE LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes it has the ability to generate cash
and/or has available borrowing capacity to meet its foreseeable
needs. The sources of funds primarily include funds provided by
operations and both short-term and long-term borrowings. The
uses of funds primarily include working capital requirements,
capital expenditures, acquisitions, dividends and repayment of
short-term and long-term debt. The Company regularly utilizes
committed bank lines of credit and other uncommitted bank
resources to meet working capital requirements. On August 29,
1997, the Company had available for its use lines of credit with
several lenders aggregating $52,000,000. The Company has agreed
to pay commitment fees for these available lines of credit. On
August 29, 1997, $52,000,000 was in use under these lines. Of
the $52,000,000, $40,000,000 is long-term. In addition, the
Company has $186,000,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which
$98,000,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit. The
Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of
credit. At August 29, 1997, $32,500,000 was in use under these
lines of credit. Maximum borrowings from all these sources
during the first three months of the current year were
$84,500,000 of which $44,500,000 was short-term. The Company
anticipates continued use and availability of both committed and
uncommitted resources as working capital needs may require.

The Company considers possible acquisitions of apparel-
related businesses that are compatible with its long-term
strategies. The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the
Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the
open market and in negotiated trades as conditions and
opportunities warrant. There are no present plans to sell
securities (other than through employee stock option plans and
other employee benefits)or enter into off-balance sheet financing
arrangements.





ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For additional information concerning the Company's
operations, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources, this
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report for fiscal
1997.
