With Father’s Day happening during the month of June, we felt it only fitting to highlight a store offering men’s apparel and accessories! (They also now offer some great women’s apparel)The store is owned by Melissa Lutz and features two brands owned by her- Duck Dog Clothing Company and Cocklebur Creek Company. In addition to these two brands, you will find other Southern brands like Southern Lure, Southern Cross, Coastal Cotton, Bird Dog Bay and JL. While the store does not carry shoes or rent tuxedos, it does offer some special items that cannot be found anywhere else in Carteret County. Check them out at 1708 Arendell Street in Morehead City and tell them “Cheers!” from Tassels!
