                        OXFORD INDUSTRIES, INC.
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
        QUARTERS ENDED NOVEMBER 28, 1997 AND NOVEMBER 29, 1996

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 Six months ended      For the quarters ended
               November 28,   November 29,   November 28, November 29,
                  1997           1996           1997        1996

Basic EPS          $1.49         $1.15          $0.88       $0.75
Diluted EPS        $1.47         $1.15          $0.87       $0.75


5.       In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
  issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital
  Structure."  SFAS No. 129 requires companies to disclose descriptive
  information about an entity's capital structure.  It also requires
  disclosure of information about the liquidation preference of
  preferred stock and redeemable stock.  SFAS No. 129 is effective for
  the Company's year-end 1998 financial statements.  Management does not
  expect that SFAS No. 129 will require significant revision of prior
  disclosures.





6.       In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
  SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  SFAS No. 130 is
  designed to improve the reporting of changes in equity from period to
  period.  SFAS No. 130 is effective for the Company's year-end 1999
  financial statements.  Management does not expect SFAS No. 130 to have
  a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

7.   In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
  SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and
  Related Information."  SFAS No. 131 requires that an enterprise
  disclose certain information about operating segments.  SFAS
  No. 131 is effective for the Company's year-end 1999 financial
  statement.  Management has not yet determined the impact of
  SFAS No. 131.
















































 Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                      and Results of Operations.
                                   
                                   
NET SALES
         Net sales for the second quarter of the 1998 fiscal year,
which ended November 28, 1997, increased 2.4% from net sales for the
same period of the prior year.  Net sales for the first six months of
the current year increased 6.8% from net sales for the same period of
the prior year.

         First half net sales for the Company's Slacks Group increased
3.3% most of which was in its Specialty Catalog division.  Lanier
Clothes, the Company's Tailored Clothing Group, had a net sales
increase of 4.1%.  Gains in Oscar de la Renta and initial Nautica
shipments were partially offset by a decline in private label
shipments.  The decline in private label was primarily due to pipeline
filling, last year, of J.C. Penney's "Stafford Options" program.  The
Shirt Group gain for the first half was 6.2%.  Double-digit gains in
OxSport, Tommy Hilfiger Golf, Tommy Hilfiger Dress Shirts and
Polo/Ralph Lauren for Boys were partially offset by a decline in
Oxford Shirtings, the Company's private label dress shirt division and
Ely & Walker western wear.  The Womenswear Group, which is all private
label, had a very solid 13.8% gain in the first half.

         The Company experienced an overall net sales unit volume
increase of 2.1% while experiencing a weighted average 0.3% increase
in the sales price per unit during the second quarter of the current
year.  For the first six months of the current year, the Company
experienced a 7.0% increase in overall net sales unit volume while
experiencing a 0.2% decrease in the weighted average sales price per
unit.

COST OF GOODS SOLD
         Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 80.0% in
the second quarter of the current year as compared to 81.8% in the
second quarter of the prior year.  For the first half of the current
fiscal year, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was
80.5%, and 81.8% for the first half of the prior fiscal year.  The
decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was due in
part to the increased sales of higher margin lines.  Another factor
contributing to the decreased percentage was the continuation of the
shift from domestic production to offshore production yielding
comparatively lower costs per unit.

         During the second quarter, the Company announced the closure
of its domestic sewing facility in Alma, Georgia.  This facility
closing is the direct result of the continuing intense competitive
pressures that require the Company to utilize the most cost-effective
production resources.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
12.1% to $27,906,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from
$24,890,000 in the same period of fiscal 1997.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 10.3% to $54,701,000 for the first
six months of the current year from $49,576,000 for the first six
months of the prior year.  As a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses increased to 13.4% for the second
quarter of the current year from 12.2% for the second quarter of the
prior year, and increased to 13.6% for the first half of the current
year from 13.2% for the first half of the prior year.

         The major contributors to the increased selling, general and
administrative expenses were higher advertising, royalty and selling
expenses inherent in the licensed designer businesses and higher
employment costs.  In addition to normal salary increases, the higher
employment costs are the result of increased group medical insurance
claims and increased management performance bonuses.


INTEREST EXPENSE
         Net interest expense declined by $53,000 to $1,018,000 or
0.5% of net sales in the second quarter of the current year from
$1,071,000 or 0.5% of net sales in the second quarter of the prior
year.  Net interest expense declined by $168,000 to $1,999,000 or 0.5%
of net sales in the first half of the current year from $2,167,000 or
0.6% of net sales in the first half of the prior year.  The reduction
in interest expense was due to lower average short-term borrowings.

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

FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
         At the current writing, the Christmas retail results appear
to have been mixed with less than robust sales being reported by many
of the Company's retail customers.  While the Company is experiencing
below plan inventory call-out and slower order bookings in some market
sectors, the Company's order backlog is solidly ahead and the Company
is optimistic about its prospects for record sales and earnings for
the second half.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
         Operating activities used $465,000 during the first quarter
of the current year and generated $6,978,000 in the first quarter of
the prior year.  The primary factors contributing to this increased
use of funds was a larger increase in receivables than in the prior
year offset by increased net earnings in the current year.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
         Investing activities used $3,233,000 in the current period
and $982,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.  The change
was the result of decreased proceeds from the sale of property, plant
and equipment in the prior year and slightly increased capital
expenditures in the current year.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
         Financing activities generated $3,659,000 in the current
period and used $3,301,000 in the comparable period of the prior year.
The primary factors contributing to this change were an increased
change in short-term borrowings and increased proceeds from the
exercise of employee stock options in the current year, and the
purchase and retirement of common stock in the prior year.

         On October 6, 1997 the Company's stockholders approved an
employee stock option plan and also an employee restricted stock plan.

         On January 5, 1998 the Company's Board of Directors declared
a cash dividend of $.20 per share payable on February 28, 1998 to
shareholders of record on February 13, 1998.

WORKING CAPITAL
         Working capital increased from $144,639,000 at the end of the
second quarter of the prior year to $150,640,000 at the end of the
1997 fiscal year and increased to $162,640,000 at the end of the
second quarter of the current year.  The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.4 at the end of the second quarter of the
prior year, 2.6 at the end of the prior fiscal year, and 2.6 at the
end of the second 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 November 28, 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 November 28, 1997, 48,000,000 was in use under these
lines.  Of the $48,000,000, $40,000,000 is long-term.  In addition,
the Company has $206,000,000 in uncommitted lines of credit, of which
$118,000,000 is reserved exclusively for letters of credit.  The
Company pays no commitment fees for these available lines of credit.
At November 28, 1997, $2,500,000 was in use under these lines of
credit.  Maximum borrowings from all these sources during the first
six 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.





SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM
ACT OF 1995

         Certain statements included herein are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  This
includes any statements concerning plans and objectives of management
relating to the Company's operations or economic performance, and
assumptions related thereto.  In addition, the Company and its
representatives may from time to time make other oral or written
statements that are also forward-looking statements.

         These forward-looking statements are made based on
management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events
impacting the Company and therefore involve a number of risks and
uncertainties.  Management cautions that forward-looking statements
are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially
from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

         Important factors that could cause the actual results of
operations or financial condition of the Company to differ include,
but are not necessarily limited to, general economic and apparel
business conditions, continued retailer and consumer acceptance of
company products, and global manufacturing costs.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
     For additional information concerning the Company's operations,
cash flows, liquidity and capital resources, this analysis should be
