Building A Capsule Wardrobe from J.H. & Sons

How a local men’s retailer is helping men gain confidence through clothing

J.H. & Sons is a family-owned and operated menswear retailer that began in 2014 by a father-son duo, Jeff and Jaime Halberstadt. This past December, the family opened their third location at the Galleria on W 69th Street in Edina. 

Although J.H. & Sons opened in 2014, their family ties in the retail industry extend back to 1975, when Jeff’s father, James, opened Halberstadt’s. This first location embodied James’ beliefs of delivering unmatched style, value, and service to his community. 

Since he retired, James handed down the business to his son, Jeff, who has since opened stores with his son in Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Des Moines, and now Edina. Together, Jeff and Jaime have continued their pursuit of providing an elevated retail experience with a curated collection of the world’s best menswear designs in the Midwest. 

The expansion into the Galleria was driven by a desire to provide an effortless and enjoyable retail experience to their new and existing clients. “The team – Jeff and Jaime Halberstadt, Chuck Simpkins, Dinh Nguyen, and I found the Galleria to be the perfect location for this elevated client experience. We want to immerse our customers into a beautiful setting with the world’s best collections and deliver unmatched style, value, and hospitality,” says Kevin Luedke, store manager at the Galleria. 

J.H. & Sons introduces a wide range of offerings from ready-to-wear, casual fashion to sleek, made-to-measure options. Here, you can find the perfect polo for a weekend golf trip or get fitted into a one-of-a-kind, made-to-measure tuxedo for an upcoming black-tie wedding. With collections from Canali, ETON, Brioni, Kiton, and Magnanni, there are plenty of options to choose from. 

“My personal favorites in the store include our extensive collection of soft jackets. This type of jacket offers the versatility required for the world we live in today. Easy to take on the road, elevate your look throughout the day, and wear casually into the evening,” says Kevin. 

Each of their garments is made of the finest fabrics sourced from reputable mills like Loro Piana, Vitale Barberis Canonico, and Carlo Barbera. These fabrics possess unmatched comfort and an extraordinary feel. Whether you’re searching for a tailor-made garment or luxe casualwear, J.H. & Sons will ensure you find the perfect match and fit to take your wardrobe to the next level. 

J.H. & Sons is the perfect place to go to build your new, elevated collection. The team recommends that you visit the store with an appointment so you can connect with one of their experienced style consultants. Their team will help you find your perfect fit and introduce you to the latest seasonal must-haves.
