Went to tourist city yesterday (Jackson Hole) took a very old 7X Stetson hat that was my Grandfathers up to Jackson Hole Hat Company to get cleaned. Everybody tried on new hats while we were there most all are custom made, but from blanks they buy then shape to your wants or needs. Three grades and prices 5X is 100% rabbit felt around $400, 10X is a % beaver little better then $500 and 100 X was 100% beaver and ran around $650. My daughter looked great in a black Vaquero, but she picked a more cowboy style in a 100X needless to say we didn't buy any hats.They said my hat would be clean by Monday .
Rex and I went to Jack Dennis shop I looked for Filson work coats all over price and can be bought cheaper elsewhere. Rex looked at Boom-boom sticks, the one he likes was a Kimber over –under side lock with a Turkish walnut stock, and oh it came up and fit perfect till we looked at the $5900 tag.So no dollars spent there.
Sue and Tenny went into a coat store...... a fur coat store Tenny has a nice shearling lamb coat her grandmother(didn't fit any more) gave here and there no way we could buy at what they want today. But Sue did try on a shearling lamb with a red foc collar Then looked at a red fox coat.... not jacket.Guess it fun too look.
Well we did stop at Flat Creek Saddle, price here are quite reasonable and they compete well with other saddle shops in the region. Got Tenny a pair of chink that will have to sit under the tree till Christmas, A couple wool railroad hat to do chores in and one to wear to town .
Oh we did have lunch at Bubba’s so there was a little other jingle left in tourist town.

The Flat Creek Saddle Shop is sooooo nice and those folks are
more than accomodating we have found. I would highly
recommend it to anyone.

Never been there but do business with them on the telephone.
They're great!
