It's definitely pricey, which prevents me from shopping for the dudes in my life here often, but the styles and offerings are nice, well-crafted goods that seem worth the price point if you can afford it. They carry a variety of shirts, sweaters, hats, outerwear, sportswear, suits, scarves, etc. They even have a shoe shop across the way with beautiful looking leather loafers and the like. I admittedly haven't had a ton of experience with their service (haven't really had the need) so I can't comment on that, but it's nice to have this option in town if you need a fancy gift for a fashionable fella in your life.

The stores in an old building, so walking on the wood floors is kind of aesthetically appealing But the bigger deal is this: I'm the kind of shopper that I like to walk into a store and assumed that they will probably have what I'm looking for even if I don't really know what I want And whether it's shoes, clothing or camping supplies this place absolutely fits the bill You will not be disappointed when you go in here. They have items on sale in the basement so keep an eye out for that. You expect to find superior places in big cities, as opposed to where I'm from, but I really had nothing to complain about this one !

I am an out of state buyer but Howell Western Wear went out of their way to help me with my decision on which pear of boots to choose, even texting a demo video of the boots I finally settled on.
