In 1910, Fred Hughes and Leslie Hatcher opened their clothing store in downtown Detroit, and it soon became the top name in gentlemen’s fine apparel. Aside from its stupendously stylish suits, Hughes & Hatcher was known for having the largest display windows in town.

Does anyone remember if there was a Hugh’s & Hatcher store on Houston Whittier and Kelly in Detroit?
No, but Eastland mall had one. I remember they had live monkeys in cages where they sold men’s clothes.
I worked at H& H in 1980s.In the Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing Pa. I was there at the front counter and I made great commission. My boss was Bob Hirt. Our buyers were Joe Orlando and Tom Dirkur?..we were Union. I went to a Union meeting in LA. I met Starsky there…I was 20. I have pics. Best job ever. No stores like it exist here anymore..our tailor even did my dress suits..Anton Kapp. Wow great memories
