Huxter Goods is a brand that is inspired, designed, produced and sold all within a few-mile radius.
Founder Read McKendree was inspired by the New England beaches, and he designs, manufactures and sells the apparel there as well -- a feat that is rarely accomplished today, and also one he's incredibly proud of. The fact that the clothing is manufactured so closely means that McKendree is able to have constant communication with the factory, ensuring the highest quality product.
Huxter's apparel is a fusion of elegance, ruggedness and weather adaptability, meaning the the coastal garments are able to be worn all year round. Take, for instance, the luxurious flannels and wool overshirts, both of which are perfect for layering.
