Riding the range, working the ranch, bull riding, bronco riding, barrel racing, cattle roping, hunting, fishing, horse thieving, cattle rustling — oops — just kidding about the last two — but nearly everything associated with the classic American west, and spilling over to modern day farm and ranch life, has clothes to fit the lifestyle. Country Connection is the place to find them. While some associate western wear with the urban cowboy look and its glittery, amped up clothes bordering horribly on bedazzling, that’s far from the reality. The decoration of the clothes for the practical is in the styling and the fit or even the hide of the boots or belts. Not to say there are no clothes with fringe and silver and studs, because there is, but it’s not over the top. So hold off on the neon lights. For the purists, Country Connection is a western wear store that walks the line between the true western and work wear, and the ever so showy side but never crosses the line. Of course there are hats, and jeans, and boots, and shirts, and belts, and bags, and ordinary footwear for men and women and kids, it’s a western wear store after all, but here there is a tiny bit of that quintessential spirit of the classic west that makes a visit here almost a duty.
