Claude Mac

est. 1924

The Man

Claude Mac is not a name we invented. It belonged to a man — born in 1924, in the deepest era of the Jim Crow South, who came of age in a world that gave him little and earned, anyway, the kind of quiet respect that follows a person into every room. The brand carries his name forward. Everything we make is downstream of the man.
