Hickoree’s Floor Two

I’ve been hearing about Hillside for years and after moving to NYC it was at the top of my list to check out Hickoree’s. I ended up picking up three different chambray shirts for the Summer and even though it was alittle painful to pry open my wallet, I couldn’t be happier with the shirts two weeks later. I’ll definitely be back soon.

really gorgeous product but as a queer lady, there is nothing I hate more than being man-​splained. I went into the store probably two years ago now but for a bag that I still have and love dearly– the heritage leather tool-​case style satchel. I wanted the bag so badly I signed up for alerts of in-​stock and b-​lined for the store the moment I got the email (I was freelancing and did actually leave work early for the purpose of procuring this bag). I went to the store, soaked up the gentlemanly feel, and then was man-​plained by the one salesguy that YES, indeed, the bag I was about to lay down cash for could be carried by a woman. THANK YOU SIR. needless to say I got the bag anyhow, and I love it even more as it ages but have not been back to Hickoree’s because they don’t realize that queer women love the lumbersexual look too. You’re missing a big demographic (especially being located off the JMZ train).

I’ve been a fan of Hickoree’s from their web store & went out of my way to make it to Brooklyn to check out their brick & mortar location.
Their offerings are a bit high end & pricey but they have enough inventory for anyone to find something cool & affordable. Pretty much everything they sell is made domestically (or in Japan) which is a huge plus & equals quality. Their in-​house brand the Hill-​Side has some amazing pieces & I was seriously thinking of pulling the trigger on their new sneakers but knew my wife would kill me for spending that much.
The location is totally unassuming & the guy working on my visit was really laid back & friendly. It’s not really the kind of place you stumble upon but if you do you won’t be disappointed.

Funky but expensive just as many have cited prior. One if a kind men’s gear is how I best describe this shopping spot for clothing and accessories. Hats, belts, bags, ties, pants and shirts all drew my attention but the $ 275/​pant price nearly dropped me out the window!
After initial shock I submitted and realized the options only could be acquired here. If looking for a special gift this is the place.

William is an amazing guy. I’m not sure if he’s part owner or an employe but his customer service made a lasting impression on me.
I’ve carried around one of their pockets squares for years. Aside from my Chacos it’s the most used item I’ve ever owned. It collected more blood sweat and tears than any piece of fabric should ever be able to withstand. But after a good washing it was always ready for more.
I lost my beloved rag during hurricane Sandy and called to make an order. William not only refused my money but sent me 2 pocket squares and a handkerchief for free!
They have great products and amazing guys working there. It makes me wish I lived in nyc just so I could shop at this wonderful store on a regular basis.

Great Men’s store, well rounded inventory from new materials to true vintage. Real clean store, nicely laid out and very personable staff/​owners. Will continue to go back to check out new gear.

I was home in Europe two weeks ago and I realized that European capitals can afford only one Americana super store per city. New York is a different story… stores abound, shopping is quite the big deal and owners really have to come up with their own little nuances, attitudes and concepts.
In this very difficult environment, Hickoree’s seems to succeed at giving away the idea of an easy going mom & pop store, where Fox River gloves are 14 bucks and handmade –handpicked by the Corsillo brothers– accessories and toys mix with the expensive clothing we’ve all been admiring on their website before the opening of the store. It’s a great approach: you can browse the nice stuff and still go home with a nice little thing that didn’t max out that last credit card. Every corner of the store has something to pick up, something you want to take a closer look at.
Anyway… they’ve been doing good work for years. Along with the biggest selection of Hill-​Side accessories in the world (well, of course, it’s designed by them next door) they have those nice, inexpensive Herbert Schier shoes, that crazy Tender Co. denim that no one else has and a lot of other brands that haven’t made Tumblr yet and therefore still have an aura of authenticity around them, some sort of untold story.
Since the opening of the store they’ve been expanding their line up a lot, with what seem to be higher-​end stuff, so stopping by is a must.
Also, it’s in Brooklyn.

I really like the place and the gear is great, but to paint an honest picture for random readers of reviews for men’s clothing, it’s somewhat pricey (for many).
I only say this because one might expect that a 2^nd floor store in a somewhat scruffy part of BK might offer special bargains, especially near the Marcy Stop nabe where most other vendors are hawking cheap everything (except steaks).
But really they offer special stuff… and I have no objection to this.
In other words, don’t go there expecting to find a cool $ 499 jacket for $ 99. That jacket will still be $ 499… but worth it if you want something unique. This is a shop that spends time to source top gear makers and isn’t there to chase the sale.
Also: Don’t go on «TUESDAYS» for they are closed all day.

Hickoree’s is a highly curated space of mandom. Rugged, hearty, tough, manly, beardy, twill, buckled – all are appropriate adjectives to describe the men who run it and the choice items they stock.
From Sierra Designs anorak jackets to leather rucksacks to dapper neckerchiefs, this place is a damn fine purveyor of the sartorial man’s hard goods and clothing accoutrement.
Aside from which the owner is extremely friendly and chill, and would just as soon talk adventures and recommendations as he would ring you up.
If they were a fair amount cheaper, I would outfit my wardrobe entire here.
