Do you want a custom rancher or cowboy hat? Ever wonder where all of those impeccably decorated…read morehats people wear at festivals and wineries come from? Well, some of them may come from a place like Rancher Hat Bar. I'm going to break down the experience because I came in as a complete newbie and had NO idea where to start and it really wasn't clear when I went in there. (More on that later. ) Start at the big wall of hats. They have a pretty good selection of hats ranging from least expensive (at least when I was there) closer to the big window and street) to more expensive (located deeper in the store.) There are a range of colors and slight variations in style. The cheaper ones started around $65 I believe and went up to $90. The next tier started at about $120 (which is one of the ones I went with) and those two tiers were adjustable hats. As you made it to the pricier ones they got to fitted sizes. Once you have chosen the style and the color you want, you let the staff know and they will go grab a fresh hat for you from the back. Then it's time to start looking for your embellishments. Do you want a ribbon, or a charm, or feathers or flowers? Do you want a brand on the hat? You can customize in so many ways. Layering ribbons and chains and flowers, etc. Once you have gathered what you want and have a general idea of how you want it laid out, the staff will get it all tied on and tacked in. Ta-da a custom creation! It can be fun and I did get a hat. When we arrived it was a little busy maybe 2-3 other folks in front of us, and no one had appointments. We were there for a pretty long time and while we were there it calmed down quite a bit. At one point our group of 5 were the only guests in the store. I'm going to be frank, the ladies who were working there couldn't have cared less that we were there. Answering questions about the hats, the process and assisting with the tips for designing the hats was really the last thing they wanted to be doing. I get it, it's the same thing for them everyday, but the Hat Bar is special because it's an experience. It's more of a service than just retail. They just didn't give a and it showed. And as a special experience that I would recommend to others, that's where it falls short. It would have been fun to have a more guided experience. To be offered beverages like when you go into Tecovas. I would have liked to see more display hats for inspiration or maybe photos if physical hats would be too much inventory. So many ways to make it special that sadly don't happen.

The owner of the shop found the right hat for me and was even able to get me a matching hat for my 3 yo son. The hats elevate all our fits and we get compliments everywhere we go.

Another great small Black Owned Business!!!…read more Need a hat? Why not stop here for one! Not only do they sell hats for those Country/soul line dancing divas and demons but they also sell other products. (Respectfully) I purchased a perfume oil from here, months ago and have been looking for one similar which has been impossible to find. Upon entrance, the Owner and his girlfriend were nothing but friendly, professional and are awesome humans! What a lovely couple! The oils are honestly my favorite since the smells last all day long. I'm always receiving many compliments on my scent. Don't hate! When I share with others, of the scent I'm wearing and where it's from, they are shocked that the store is here and that they haven't gone. I definitely recommend you stopping over to shop and support all of these black owned businesses in this street. This store is a vibe especially during first Fridays of each month, as there's tons of other small businesses joining in on the funtivities. There's music, fun, vendors, food trucks and great vibes!! There's plenty of parking in the area! Btw ...the scent is called, "INVICTUS" (Smells so good!) Please tell them, that I sent you!

Great selection of clothes and accessories in the western/folk/americana/cabin style. Denim, flannels, hats, jackets, etc. Very high quality goods, made to last and timeless. I am a man and there is no other store around that is like this. It's a true candy store for men (and women's clothes too). Great place to buy a special piece or a gift for someone that appreciates classic USA made apparel and accessories. Pocket knives, hats, wallets, watches, jewelry, shoes, backpacks and travel bags, books, so many extras as well. A one of a kind shop that harkens back to the golden age of early American style that always is in style and lasts generations. I can tell that everything I buy here will last a long time and is a worthy investment. I can't recommend this store enough. Feels like you're walking into a warm, cozy hotel lobby of a log cabin in the woods and the service is just as warm and inviting. Love Cave & Post!

Lots of places shape off the rack hats, call it custom and sell it as quality. Those places ain't the real deal. Watson's is. Visit Watson's and you'll be transported to a bygone era when hats were custom made works of art built by master craftsmen. Using the finest raw material- beaver and beaver blend - Alex, Jerry, Gordon and Kian work together to measure the EXACT SHAPE and size of your head, discuss style and help you settle on color. They'll then build and shape a hat that fits perfectly and is uniquely and exclusively you. To finish your hat you'll be certain to find what you're looking for among Watson's wide selection of hat bands. Watson's produces an experience and product that is worth both the price and the wait. Watson's built two hats for me and one for my lady. We wear our Watson's hats all the time. Seriously, we'll wear our Watson's hats riding in the back country one day then brush 'em off for a night on the town the next. Delighted, impressed, beyond expectations, top-notch - there aren't enough or the right words to express our satisfaction with Watson's. The welcome, the warmth, the energy, the space, the fitting process and the final product - your hat - makes it hard to find those right words. Speechless is how my lady puts it. We're pretty sure you'll be as pleased as we are.
