For over 60 years since we opened our store in New York City, H. Herzfeld has been the "talk of the town". Below we share a few of the complimentary pieces written about the haberdashery.
MRketplace.com Thanks go out to
editor in chief
Karen Alberg Grossman for including us in her October 2009 blog in which a letter to H. Herzfeld
sales associate, Ira Rothstein
is featured.
...You are a rare salesperson and because of this I look forward to a longstanding relationship as we work to build my wardrobe. Thank you again. I feel very fortunate.
...A favorite customer was Greta Garbo. "She would always come in for black or navy turtlenecks," Wolfgang Herzfeld remembers. "She was so sweet, and down-to-earth, but very masculine in her style of dress. She carried a man's umbrella with her initials on the tip."

In 2006, Film Noir Buff - "Self confessed, mainstream dandy and self styled arbiter elegantiarum" - paid the store a visit to talk shop and take pictures for a blog article, H. Herzfeld: This is not your Fathers store...well not totally.
...H. Herzfeld is reminiscent of the traditional English shops along Jermyn Street, Bond Street or Piccadilly with some contemporary accents for the younger gent. Those stores have and continue to deliver to their clients frank, helpful suggestions with an almost military crispness and precision.
...H. Herzfeld is one of the best men's haberdashers in the city. Family-owned since 1890, what makes it unique is that it has taken the retailing concept of a large department store--offering products from a variety of designers--and applied it with the intimacy and personal attention of a small tailor.
