We should not have been singled out simply because our Physician allows us the medical exemption to the mask mandate due to our medical condition. The local toy store, shirt/print stores, candy stores, other boutiques and even Walmart recognize some people have cannot wear masks and allowed us to shop; that is why there are exceptions to the rule. Not only did they loose our almost $100 purchase today they lost all our future business. As the 4th & 5th generation of a family with property in the area for over 60 years, and a former resident myself, we love giving our business to local proprietors. Now none of our family will shop here until this business closes down. Signed, disappointed.

This was one of the best suit buying experiences I have ever had. I would highly recommend Columbia Fashion Clothes to anyone in the Duluth area (living close or visiting). Highly recommend!!!

They replied via e-mail within hours and said "No problem" come on down. My other choice was going to be Men's Warehouse but after looking at the horrible reviews on their Duluth outlet I made up my mind to trust Mainstream Fashions for Men. What a great decision that was. I arrived at 10:00am and after just a couple questions he had pulled out a suit coat to try on and the second one fit perfect. Without asking my measurements he pulled out a pair of pants that fit perfectly and then did the same with a collared shirt. I was done in 15 minutes and as I was leaving the store he was already taking my suit to their alterations store across the street and he notified me by text when they were done. Wow, if only every store offered that kind of customer service. I can't recommend this place enough and I found the prices to be very reasonable. Alterations were included and he gave me a nice discount for being a Veteran. Thanks Mainstream Fashions for Men for a great looking suit that fits perfect and didn't break the bank. Mark

Howl is one of those boutiques that makes wandering Bayfield even more enjoyable!…read more The shop has a great vibe and selection of clothing, outdoor gear, and accessories. I visited during the colder months and was impressed by how much well-chosen winter gear they had--cozy layers, warm accessories, and practical pieces that still look stylish. I ended up leaving with a warm winter hat!

Wow, hard to believe no one has reviewed Howl yet…read more We visited Bayfield over Labor Day, staying at a B&B down the road. Before leaving Minneapolis, we booked a half-day yacht cruise for Saturday morning, which turned out to be lovely. The reason I mention the cruise is that our captain also owns Howl (as well as the Howl Adventure Center just south of town). We stopped into the retail store the following morning as we dodged raindrops, enjoying a chat with the captain and his family. I would characterize the clothing and equipment on the shelf here (as well as the Adventure Center) as "upper end" although insufficient to completely supply many an outdoor trek. That said, the equipment on sale was interesting, reasonably priced, not overly "touristy" (although there were some items geared to the visiting tourist). As an aging backpacker, it was very difficult to not pick up a few items, but I've vowed not to buy more "stuff" until I get my knees replaced! I did succumb to a few bicycling accessories at the Adventure Center, however! Howl Clothing is right downtown, just a block away from the docks and right across the street from the Bayfield Inn. It's worth stopping in to browse, and we will use their sailing services when next we visit during the summer.
