What to know about Tommy Bahama
Silk and linen camp shirts anchor it
The core is resort dressing: tropical-print camp shirts in silk and linen, IslandZone performance knits, swim trunks and relaxed chinos, for men and women.
The stores also serve dinner
Tommy Bahama runs full-service Restaurant & Bar locations and smaller Marlin Bar formats alongside its shops, tommybahama.com and department stores like Nordstrom.
A licensed lifestyle brand, not a label
Oxford Industries has owned it since 2003, running it with Lilly Pulitzer, Johnny Was and Southern Tide, and licensing home furnishings through Lexington Home Brands.
How Tommy Bahama fits
Overall fit
slightly large
Tommy Bahama garments generally fit true to size with a relaxed, roomy cut that flatters older or fuller builds, so slimmer shoppers sometimes find them a touch generous.
Tip: Most shoppers can order their usual size, but consider sizing down if you want a trimmer look since the cut runs relaxed.
