MANISTEE, Michigan — A new chapter in men’s style has arrived in Michigan with the expansion of J. Catlett and Company in downtown Manistee, unveiling a refined haberdashery designed to meet the region’s growing demand for curated men’s fashion and grooming experiences.
Downtown Manistee Welcomes Elevated Men’s Retail
The recently launched haberdashery section, part of the established J. Catlett and Company barber shop, broadens the store’s offerings far beyond traditional grooming. Visitors now find an upmarket selection of mens clothing, accessories, and lifestyle items seamlessly integrated alongside the expert hair and shaving services that have made the store a staple of the Manistee business landscape since 2018.
Curated Selections: From Grooming to Mens Accessories
Owner Jamie Catlett, a seasoned barber with 15 years of cosmetology experience, carefully curated the new retail space to highlight top-tier mens grooming and self-care items. Shelves display a range of skincare products, colognes, and premium Italian leather belts, enhancing options for the modern man. Essentials such as hats, socks, and wallets complement more sophisticated mens accessories including jewelry and fragrances—filling a recognized gap for luxury menswear and daily essentials in small-town Michigan.
Tailoring for the Modern Gentleman
Expanding its mission, the haberdashery now introduces a developing array of tailored clothing options. Customers will soon be able to arrange fittings for sports coats, ties, and custom hat measurements, with professional tailoring services set to debut in the coming months. With this commitment, J. Catlett and Company aims to establish itself as a leading destination for luxury menswear and personalized style in Northern Michigan.
Personalized Retail Experience
Central to the new venture is Terry Atkins, the Haberdashery concierge. Atkins offers personalized retail guidance, helping customers navigate choices for thoughtful self-expression and functional elegance. The approach marries attentive service with a relaxed, welcoming environment, emphasizing the Michigan value of individual care. Popular featured products include Blind Barber skincare and Pig and Hen bracelets, underscoring a commitment to both trend and tradition in mens lifestyle.
Connecting Community and Style
This ambitious expansion reflects a growing demand for sophisticated, regionally relevant retail in smaller Michigan cities. By offering a unique blend of grooming, fashion, and luxury, the Manistee business now serves as a hub for both locals seeking a style refresh and out-of-town visitors interested in refined men’s experiences. The barbershop continues its core focus while embracing the evolving needs of the modern gentleman.
The Future of Men’s Fashion in Michigan
As the haberdashery evolves, its influence promises to shape the regional standard for men’s shopping. With plans for tailoring and expanded offerings, J. Catlett and Company sets a benchmark for personalized retail in Michigan’s men’s fashion scene.
