## Resource

JOIN US AT THE 2026 DUCKS UNLIMITED EXPO! July 31 - August 2 at the RENASANT CONVENTION CENTER in Memphis, TN Great outdoor gear doesn’t just perform — it tells a story. In this episode of the DUX Series , host Jimbo Robinson is joined by co‑host David Schuessler and guest Radcliffe Menge , founder and CEO of Tom Beckbe , a brand built on heritage materials, modern design, and a deep connection to the outdoor lifestyle. Recorded ahead of the upcoming DUX Waterfowl Show, this conversation explores how Tom Beckbe grew from a single custom waxed jacket into a full-scale outdoor apparel brand. Radcliffe shares how the company has stayed intentionally focused — blending traditional materials like waxed cotton with updated fit and function to serve today’s hunter while honoring the past. The discussion also dives into what makes waxed cotton unique, why durability and longevity matter more than ever, and how classic outdoor gear continues to resonate with both hunters and a broader audience drawn to authenticity. Along the way, they talk about the rapid growth of the DUX show, the success of the Ducks Unlimited collaboration line, and what’s coming next — including new gear and the return of the now-iconic “cabin” booth experience. At its core, this episode is about craftsmanship, patience, and building something meant to last — both in product and in brand.
