Western Style Clothing

Since my husband and I have started showing horses, we are always in need of western clothing for shows. Shopping for unique and hard to find western apparel can be hard to find in our area. My husband surfing the internet found this great site called Cowboy Kingdom.

The selection in western shirts, jeans, hats and cowboy boots is large. This has helped my husband and I find many different styles that are not the run of the mill. We were tired of all the same patterns and colors that we could only find at our local western ware store. This has helped us to show our own personal style while showing our five horses in shows.

The last order that we placed was for a new cowboy hat and two pairs of cowboy boots. I knew that my husband needed a new black Stetson hat to wear when he showed our new white stallion. I knew that the black hat would be a nice contrast against the horses white color and would get him noticed in the show ring. The cowboy boots that I chose for myself were from the Coconuts line by Matisse Long Horn Western Boot in a beautiful saddle and turquoise color and then I also purchased another pair from the same line in a black and pewter color.

When our order promptly arrived, I was so excited to wear my new boots. Come on, girl s -- we all love getting new shoes or boots and this was no exception. I had to try on both pair right away. Both pairs of boots fit like a glove. Not only did they fit perfectly, they both went with so many of my outfits for the show ring. My husband's new hat looked great too. I wore the new saddle and turquoise boots at the next horse show. They looked great and really stood out from many of the other riders that were showing that day.

After the show, many of the other women complimented me on my saddle and turquoise boots and wanted to know where I found such a unique style and color in cowboy boots. I could not stop talking about the Cowboy Kingdom site enough. Since using the site I know that my husband and I will be one of the best dressed couples with our own unique style on the show circuit.

Finding Western Cowboy Hats

Last year, the holidays were quickly approaching and since my husband and I had just moved, I had very little time to shop. My husband and son are avid riders, and I knew that new Western Cowboy Hats were on their wish lists. But the nearest tack shop was not an option since it was over a hundred miles away from our new home. I started shopping on the internet to save some time in finding those perfect gifts for my family.

Once I started my online shopping, I came across the Cowboy Kingdom website. Not only were the prices great, the selection of Western Clothing and Accessories was extensive. The choices in cowboy hats alone were vast. I knew that this was the site that I would find the perfect cowboy hats for my son and husband for Christmas. The only hard part was deciding on just one for each of them. Even though I knew that they did not want to ask for a Stetson, I knew that secretly this was the brand of cowboy hat that they each wanted. Then all I had to do was decide on a style of cowboy hat and color.

I decided upon the Stetson 4X Buffalo Corral cowboy fur felt cowboy hat in this very nice sand color for my husband. I knew the sand color would match the dress tack that he had for his horse Mary Lou. They would match right down to my husband’s new cowboy hat. I ordered the Stetson 4X Seminole buffalo fur gus cowboy hat for my son in black. This hat would also match his horse’s tack. I could not wait to see both of them with the new cowboy hats riding in our town's Christmas parade.

When my son and husband opened up their new Stetson cowboy hats, they were so excited. They both loved them and could not wait to put them on for the parade later on that day. The hats fit perfectly and they both loved them.

Since purchasing the cowboy hats, I have decided to purchase new tack for both of their horses. They are both already hinting towards the new tack. The joke is on them though; I had already ordered it when I purchased the hats. The only thing I have to worry about now is keeping it hidden until the big day!
