627.0. "Western Attire shops ????" by LUDWIG::ROCK () Wed Nov 15 1989 11:46

I am looking for a list of WESTERN tack shops. I have a friend that
    
    is looking to buy for Xmas western boots and shirts for her boyfriend.
    
    I have given her some shops to check out but she has not yet seen
    
    what she wants. The shops I told her about are:
    
    Saddle shed, Grafton
    Indian Hollow, Conn.
    
    I thought there was a Square Dancing attire shop in No.Andover
    
    Does anyone have any suggestions of shops with a GOOD selection of
                                                            
    boots and shirts.
    
    Thanks alot,

627.1Western StuffBOSOX::SANDLERWed Nov 15 1989 13:2810
    The No. Andover Equistrian Shop on Rt. 114 has a great selection
    of Western boots.  Am not sure about shirts.
    
    There is a store in Boston proper near Mass. General that is the
    biggest supplier of Western Wear around.  The name to the store
    is something like Nolan's or Morton's.  Sorry about not knowing
    the name but I just found out about it and haven't had time to get
    there.
    
    
627.2MEIS::SCRAGGSWed Nov 15 1989 13:348
    .1 might be referring to Walkers on Boylston Street? They have quite a 
    selection of boots etc..
    
    Allies Tackshop in RI has alot to cater to the Western horseman.
    The pedlar lists a few other places also such as Calico House western
    wear, Victory Pass in Derry NH, Countryside in Sterling Ma...
    
    
627.3In and around BostonMARKER::BUCKLEYA Nation FreeWed Nov 15 1989 14:5310
    I agree that Walkers in Boston has a fine selection of boots and wester
    wear in general.  Their prices aren't the greatest, but... Also,
    Helen's Leather on Charles St. (other side o the common from Walkers)
    has a nice selstion of boots.  There is also El Paso on Newbury St.,
    but their line of boots carry the Newbury St. price tags as well!  As
    the sign sez...El Pass-o!  :^)  I've found the Equestrian Shop in N.
    Andover to have a mediocre selection IMHO.  Ever think of mail order
    ala Shepplers or something like that?

627.4ANOTHER WESTERN SHOPSTAFF::GREENWOODWed Nov 15 1989 15:277
    There is another shop "WIGWAM TACK SHOP" in central Conn. I think
    it is in or very near 'Scotland'. All I know is South on 290 onto
    395 down to Rt 14 W.  
    
    It is located quite a ways off the beaten path but they have a very 
    large selection of everything western. Be sure to call first. In the 
    winter they have some slightly funny hours but well worth the trip.
627.5NRADM::CONGERWhat's ONE more cat????Wed Nov 15 1989 17:347
    
    	There is a Hopi Indian shop on rt 20 in Worcester (across
    	from the Fair at the Auburn line) that has beautiful Western
    	jewelry and a nice selection of Western boots...

627.6thanks alot.....LUDWIG::ROCKThu Nov 16 1989 14:5020
    Thanks everyone....
    
    Just as an update, We went yesterday to a shop she saw advertised
    in the Pedlar...
    
    The Alamo western wear in Franklin, Mass. It was a nice shop and
    she found three nice shirts. I also treated myself to a nice white
    shirt for showing next year. Very nice people working there and
    a few boots along with hats and jewerly too. They supply the square
    dancers with clothing and shoes.
    
    I will check out the shop in Worcester...never heard of it before.
    
    We are goin to go to Frye boots in Marlboro to see what they have
    in western boots now. I did buy some nice western boots there about
    5 years ago for the hubby.
    
    I will pass on the other stores to her tonight.

627.7WESTERN SHOP IN TOPSFIELDHAVOC::GREGOIRETue Nov 21 1989 13:488
    There is a shop in Topsfield on Route 1 called The Western Connection.
    They sell square dance and western attire, i.e., boots, suits,
    sportcoats, shirts, etc.  The couple who own the shop are Gary and
    Sandy and are very helpful and knowledgeable.  If they don't have
    the item you are interested in they will order it for you.

627.8Kittery, ME Trading Post - Rte. 1THRSHR::DINGEEThis isn't a rehearsal, you know.Tue Nov 21 1989 14:229
    
    I was just up at the Kittery, Maine factory outlets a couple of
    weeks ago. I happened to be with a friend who wanted to go into
    the Kittery Trading Post - the place is *FULL* of western boots,
    hats, gloves, clothes...along with deer estrogen, tapes of wounded
    quail sounds, bullets, day-glo orange anything, and stuffed animals!
    Anyhow, it has what you want and a lot of other entertainment!!

627.9Looking For DirectionsWMOIS::BIBEAU_KWed Dec 01 1993 15:0610
    I am looking for directions to a western clothing shop in southern N.H.
    I do not remember the name but I believe it is off of RT. 3  
    
    I heard an ad for it on the WCLB radio station 6 or 9 months ago.
    
    I have a friend looking for boots and I remember that store as having a
    good selection.
    
    Thanks,
    Karen
627.10The Calico ShopAIMHI::DANIELSThu Dec 02 1993 12:534
    I think you might mean route 3A in Hooksett, NH.  I think it is called
    the Calico Shop and the have lots of western wear and also a lot of
    square dancing stuff too.  I think the shop is quite large and that
    they have a fairly large selection of boots.
627.11Trail DustABACUS::MACDONALD_MToirneac SpeirThu Dec 02 1993 17:465

    about it though.

	Western Apparel (no listing under Boots, no match under Shoes):

		AC Western Wear Inc 435 King Lttn  486-9386

	King Street (Rt. 110) is the main street through Littleton.

627.15Orlando, Florida has plenty of Western Wear...RANGER::WASSERJohn A. WasserMon Dec 12 1994 00:136
	If you're ever in Orlando, Florida (home of Disney World, Sea World
	and Universal Studios) and are in the market for western wear, you
	are in for a treat!  There are two HUGE stores on International
	Drive that have walls and walls of boots and hats.  Look for
	their ads in some of the many free Orlando tourist guides.
