FAITHFUL TO QUALITY

Bob Denton and Chris Brueckner, Vice President of Sales, talk about luxury fabrics and staying faithful to quality.

There is a definite yin and yang dynamic between the core Oxxford customers and a new generation just starting to appreciate the heritage, authenticity and hand craftsmanship inherent in Oxxford clothing. Asked if it might make sense to offer a slightly lower priced collection so that more young guys can get introduced to such exceptional hand tailoring (Oxxford suits retail between $4,000 and $5,500, with custom an additional 10 percent), Denton answers this way: “We can’t produce a less expensive collection because our (Chicago) factory only knows how to make the best. We don’t have the machinery to cut through layers of fabric; we cut one suit at a time. We hand match every plaid, even inside the sleeves. We make our own canvas with a supplier in Italy: the fabric is hung out to line dry over the Adriatic Sea. The lapel roll is based on rows of hand stitching; we use no tape on the armhole to allow for extra give. We don’t know how to produce clothing any other way.”



Although 80 percent of Oxxford’s business is custom, Denton maintains that retailers need to stock key styles and sizes so customers can touch and try on before buying. “You don’t buy a Mercedes without driving it first,” he points out. “A good example is the brighter blue shades we are now selling so well; without a sample, the customer is less likely to request it.” Denton also notes that since today’s slimmer fits present challenges, basted try-ons are an important accommodation.

Luxury fabrics, it seems, demand unwavering commitment. Hand craftsmanship, a concept seemingly lost to time, still holds value. They insist on making the best, no matter the cost. It reminds me of a time when I tried to get a project done quickly, compromising quality, and deeply regretting it. It made me realize the importance of taking the time to craft something well. Let me tell you, my Friday Night Funkin mod coding experience taught me to not compromise on quality even under pressure.

As someone who appreciates fine craftsmanship, I was truly impressed by Oxxford's commitment to quality. My own experience with custom tailoring taught me that true artistry takes time and dedication. The details about hand-matching plaids and creating custom canvas highlight the incredible skill behind each garment. For those who love precision and exceptional clothing, this approach is refreshing in our mass-production world. If you're looking for a fun break after reading about such meticulous craftsmanship, you might enjoy trying Block Blast , a casual game that offers a different kind of precision and entertainment.

Staying faithful to quality in today’s fast-paced world is no small feat, and it’s inspiring to see Bob Denton and Chris Brueckner emphasize the value of craftsmanship and luxury fabrics. True quality is timeless-it’s about how something feels, fits, and lasts. That same mindset applies to self-care too. A visit to a hair salon in Falls Church that values precision and personal style can leave you feeling just as refined and confident as a perfectly tailored garment.

I have so much respect for brands like Oxxford that stay committed to true craftsmanship—it’s rare and valuable in today’s fast fashion world. While I’m not usually in the market for high-end suits, I do appreciate quality in my own style choices. That’s why I prefer the Rip Wheeler jacket from the Yellowstone Clothing line—it’s rugged, timeless, and built with that same kind of attention to detail that never goes out of fashion.

Quality truly sets luxury apart, and it’s inspiring to see leaders like Bob Denton and Chris Brueckner committed to staying faithful to that standard. Just as luxury fabrics demand care and precision, those seeking a refined look often turn to solutions like hair tattoo for men to maintain a polished and confident appearance. It’s all about investing in lasting quality, whether in textiles or personal style.
