The world of menswear can change in an instant when a great new clothing line is discovered. That’s just what happened when Haxby, a label based out of Los Angeles, recently released their classic yet contemporary line. The debut collection brings just enough new along with their classic design to be invigorating and refreshing without being over-the-top, and the fashion world is buzzing over it.

Their Story

Two talented individuals collaborated to create the Haxby line. Michael Dow and Tim White were longtime friends who decided that today’s menswear didn’t offer brands with real integrity. Their shared passion for craftsmanship, design and quality led the innovative visionaries to unite in an effort to create a brand that offered everything that other lines lacked. The designers spent two years searching the world for the very best materials and craftsmen to create their debut collection. Their search led them to their eventual sources in Los Angeles, Japan, Italy, Switzerland, and London.

What Makes Haxby Different?

While there are certainly many high-end luxury options available for men today, Haxby offers menswear something they haven’t seen in a while: style, sophistication and quality all in one package. In creating their brand, Dow and White have refused to compromise on design and quality, and they insist on unparalleled craftsmanship in each item they design. Taking their inspiration from the timeless quality found in Savile Row tailoring, Haxby aims to return to the idea of handcrafted luxury as once found in the highest houses in London. The fit and appeal of such garments and accessories is automatically enhanced, setting the line apart from most traditional menswear.

The Collection

The debut collection itself is indicative of Dow and White’s pure, unfailing dedication to craftsmanship. The line consists of clothing and accessories, each offered with a few variations in features and design. The following pieces are currently available:

• Belts – Swiss and Italian artisans handcraft each of the belts in the line using only the finest materials. High quality leathers, precious metals, stainless steel, and precision-cut polished sapphire crystal are all used to create one belt, making every belt in the collection truly a one-of-a-kind work of art.
• Sneakers – Each of these luxurious shoes, created from cordovan leather, is handmade in Montegranaro, Italy, where it is buffed by hand after being meticulously formed. Their simple, classic and elegant design transcends the boundaries between casualwear and formal wear, making the shoes a good choice for either occasion.
• Eyewear – Haxby eyewear is handcrafted at the Masunaga Optical factory in Fukui, Japan. They blend the impeccable quality of Japanese craftsmanship and the simple, elegant beauty found in classic British design. Each pair requires 200 manual steps to create and includes 24 karat gold details.
• Denim – Sourced from some of the best denim mills in the world, Haxby’s denim is meticulously crafted into incredible jeans under the direction of one of Haxby’s designers. Fit and quality are of the utmost importance. All jeans are finished with 24 karat gold buttons, rivets and zippers.

Backed by 500 years of collective experience, Haxby is aiming to make its name synonymous with quality and integrity, and this is only the beginning. Dow and White are currently working on future collections, which will include outerwear, knitwear, watches and bags. From how things stand now, it seems consumers will eagerly await anything else Haxby offers.
