F.A. MacCluer
ABOUT US
The great majority of MacCluer's shirt making years has been spent designing and supplying "private label" programs for the most prestigious retailers in America. Hence, we are the oldest shirt company many have never heard of. Over the years, we have been primary shirt people behind such venerable names as: Brooks Brothers, Saks 5th Ave. and Neiman Marcus, to name a few.
In 1995 we began to redirect our business toward the development of our own brand that today is sold through the finest retail specialty store market, the high end resort and club market, and the corporate market. Our shirts are produced in collaboration with only the finest select factories. Each garment is made using specified techniques and the precise standards that began evolving in the Julius Simon factory more than a century ago.
ABOUT QUALITY
Truly great quality is 50% technical and 50% aesthetic. Great shirt making is not just what you do, but how you do it. Two white shirts side by side, one looks very ordinary and the other just has that special something. A discerning consumer sees the difference, but the reason is impossible for them to put their finger on.
This is so because the difference is not just one or two big things. It is the extraordinary attention to and simultaneous execution of many details with a certain degree of flair or finesse. Separately the details go unnoticed, but in the aggregate, that intangible 'special something' is achieved.
Quality as we define it can only be achieved by people with a passion for the product and years of experience utilizing a manufacturing process that employs a high degree of skilled hand work.
