Why Watchlist
Tommy Bahama is named for a fictional island beachcomber, and its site sells "The Island Life". Wikipedia says the character was dreamed up in the early 1990s by apparel executives Tony Margolis and Bob Emfield. The company does not claim a historic founding date; Oxford Industries has owned it since 2003.
