History

When Hunt Mobley came to work at Mobley & Sons men’s store in Crestline, he became a third-generation haberdasher at a store that has been in business for over thirty years.  Mobley & Sons of Birmingham was opened in 1977 by Hunt’s father, Reggie Mobley, who ran the store until 1983.  That year, Reggie’s father, CD Mobley, took over the store from his son and ran a successful business for a number of years. 

After graduating in business from the University of Alabama in 2005, Hunt decided to learn the retail business from his grandfather.  After a three year apprenticeship, CD turned over the reigns to Hunt completely in 2008.

Hunt would quickly find out how difficult the retail business could be.  Flood damage in 2009 to the interior of the building required major structural repairs, which forced the store to close for a period of two months.  When the doors reopened, Mobley & Sons had been revitalized with gorgeous pine floors, a three-way mirror, new lighting, and an aesthetic overhaul to the outside of the building.

Since that time, Hunt has made an imprint of his own by transforming Mobley & Sons from exclusively classic to a blend of classic and effortlessly cool.  Mobley & Sons offers a variety of brands at a range of price points, as well as custom suit, sportcoat, and dress shirt services and alterations.

Still, Hunt prides himself in maintaining that Mobley & Sons is a family business.  ”It’s kind of cool that we’ve had customers coming in here for thirty-plus years.  We really consider them part of our extended family.  It’s those kind of relationships that make my job fun.”
