HICKOREE’S HARD GOODS
Posted by Colin
MADE IN THE U.S.A.
Between heritage brands and artisanal upstarts, made-in-the-U.S.A. products are having quite a moment, and Hickoree’s Hard Goods rounds up the best-from Wolverine boots, The Hill-Side ties, and Portland General Store colognes to Solmate Socks, Master Mfg. Co. doorstops, and Hart’s Heritage tomato seeds. They carry some well-loved foreign goods too (including the colorful but classic British line Folk)-and their finds are finally available offline at the swanky store located below their Williamsburg office.
