Hall Brothers were THE Oxford tailors. Everybody, Evelyn Waugh included, owed them money when an undergraduate. They're now long gone. Ede & Ravenscroft currently occupy their old premises. A charming but cramped double bow-window fronted shop which goes back further than you might think. Helpful sales staff with just enough knowledge to do their jobs. London prices and very ordinary tailoring are on offer.

Hine was another Oxford tailor on 'The High' (High Street) in Oxford. They moved to Wantage around the turn of this century largely due to the high rents demanded by St. Edmund Hall, the rowing college, who own the premises. 'Teddy Hall' have since let the shop to just another Oxford second-hand book shop. Dull of them.

Both of the above used to display framed signed cheques from the young Duke of Windsor up on their walls as a part of their decor until they both disappeared overnight. I suppose that somebody high up had a word with them. Very dull of them.

Hall Brothers are lost to us now but Hine carry on in Wantage. When in Oxford they cut four tweed suits for me and I was very happy with the results. Anglo-Ivy would sum them up best. Overchecked Herringbone suits in Grey, Green and Brown and one in plain Buff Covert cloth.
Also by an arrangement they had with a dressmaker they cut tweeds and business suits for my wife too.

Another Oxford tailor is 'The Man With No Name'. He works upstairs on 'The Broad' (Broad Street) and just the sound of his voice on his answerphone made me feel that he might not be quite the man for me so I never bothered him with my business. These small things count.

Walter's, Ten The Turl (Turl Street) used to cut suits. I'm not sure if they still do. My wife's Grandfather ran up huge debts with them when an undergraduate at St. Peter's (The Methodist College) that were only just paid off just before the end of WWII. Not that they ever chased him for the money. People didn't then.

For shoes go to Drucker's (or Duckers? No, Drucker's) also on the Turl. Bespoke or RTW. There is nobody else in Oxford.
