Founded in 1889 in Roanoke, Virginia, was a company that was to become one of the country's leading academic, judicial, and religious apparel manufacturers, The Oak Hall Company.

Throughout the years, Oak Hall steadily built a reputation for the finest quality and service in academic, judicial, and religious apparel in the country.

In 1976, the company acquired the Bentley and Simon Company, a New York based manufacturing firm world renowned as the leader in fine tailored pulpit, academic, and judicial apparel. In fact, today, Bentley and Simon is recognized throughout the world as the hallmark for quality custom-made robes.

In 1980, Oak Hall acquired the C.E. Ward Company, one of the largest manufacturers of academic and choir apparel in the Midwest.

We currently operate two sewing facilities in Virginia with more than 200,000 square feet for our factory and warehouse. All of our products are manufactured in the United States. We currently manufacture graduation regalia, pulpit, choir, judicial, and kindergarten gowns, and all related accessories.
