The first item I bought there 15 years ago still looks brand new. Owners Kent and Lee are friendly and helpful and both are possessed of an interesting sense of humor. They specialize in wallets but they'll custom make items for your company or Christmas list. Shop Etsy if you must but buy here!

J.W. Hulme and I have a long and sorted relationship. I did business there for several years until…read morethey started outsourcing to China. Apparently they recognized that they were losing business by removing their manufacturing from the US. Now I'm back, because they have been offering items made in the US albeit, I don't know if they are being made in Minnesota. For myself, I am a bit of a purse snob. I have several vintage Coach and D&B purses from my mother's youth. However, I exclusively purchase French made Longchamps and American made J.W.Hulmes. I get loads of compliments on my Hulme bags. Most are reminiscent of New York City made Coach bags. They are heirloom items. I purchased my first Longchamp 17 years ago and they came with a "key leash." I prevents my keys from sinking to the bottom of my purse and stops me from panicking if I can't locate them immediately. Now J W Hulme's American made purses have a key leash. Hopefully, they are visible in the photo I've posted. Not only are they offering American made leather products, but they are offering clothing and accessories. They usually state in their catalog where the item is made. I started purchasing the majority of my Christmas and birthday gifts again at J.W. Hulme. I like that they're offering other things. It gives me more to chose from when it comes to presents. I am not going into their retail shop, as my first experience was less than pleasant. I'm very pleased to exclusively purchase from the catalog. I bought one small, "imported" purse for my stepdaughter. I didn't want to spend a fortune on the item, because I wasn't sure she'd appreciate purses yet. It was made in China. She loved the purse so much, that it fell apart within a couple of months. Stick with the America, British or even Mexican made products from this retailer and you'll be pleased. I pray that they are employing those fine leather artists here in Minnesota.

The latter, they not only fixed the scratches, but matched the turquoise dye perfectly! *see pictures The other shoes were repaired brilliantly as well. The folks here are awesome and very straightforward with pricing. The price is reasonable. I don't know how they are with speed, as I've always told them to take as much time as needed. I like how they offer repair services outside of leather shoes, it's a great place to take any of your leather goods that need repair.

Wedding saved with superb customer service (including a house call)…read more My nephew was getting married at the Skyroom at Red Wing Golf Course. A few hours before the wedding, he realized had left his suit pants back at home. With no time to retrieve them, I received a call to see if there was anything I could do (I was already in Red Wing). We found Heimie's Haberdashery via the web, went there and were helped by the manager Jeff. After he heard the story, he grabbed some prospective clothes and drove the mile or so to the wedding venue, the groom OK'd the suit and pants, then Jeff measured my nephew at the venue. We drove back to Heimie's, Jeff tailored the clothes, and we took the clothes back to the venue. Wedding proceeded as planned, the bride wasn't aware that the suit had been replaced until after the wedding ceremony. Thank you Heimie's and Jeff, You were perfect for us!

ZZ…read moreTop One day while I was negotiating a treacherous snow barrier between the street and the sidewalk outside of Heimie's Haberdashery, a most dashingly dressed employee rushed out to save the day, escorting me over the snow pile. I guess my questionable mountaineering skills must have made him nervous! Heimie's hero was just the Sherpa guide I needed for my mini-Everest expedition. I can't thank him enough for helping, especially since he wasn't even wearing any winter gear...just his fancy shmancy suit. Heimie's snowbank conqueror was so impeccably dressed that I'm sold on purchasing a bow tie here for my six-year-old nephew very soon. He will be going on his first official chaperoned ice cream date with a young lady determined to marry him in the future, and he specifically requested a bow tie for the event. Clearly there is a lot at stake for this very serious date, so he will need a dapper tie that is sure to impress! No pressure, Heimie's, no pressure.

Unfortunately, some of the pieces had broken away and were lost, others were loose and the finish on the table had yellowed significantly.

We could not be more pleased with the end result. She provided great communication along the way and delivers a great product at an affordable price. We are absolutely thrilled with the restored card table.

Hoping they might be able to reintroduce that moody vibe from their first shop, but I think that will come with time as they settle in. I do kinda wish it was on the first floor because I'm worried being on the second floor means they may not get as much walk through traffic and would love to see them thrive here. They *still* do not use price tags so you either have to ask or check their website for prices unfortunately. On the plus side parking is much easier in their new space and still free.

I finally went by Tony's and was told that the lady I had been working with wasn't in and that she would call me as soon as she arrived. You guessed it. I never got a call. That has been three days ago. Just be aware that they may do good work, but they don't do what they say they are going to do. It is now April 12.
