I had a lovely experience here! Deborah reshaped our hats and was so helpful! She was personable and kind and made our experience a 10/10

First off...Deborah and Maceyn (sp?) are AMAZING. A group of 7 of us showed up 25 mins before closing and they were both more than accommodating. They answered all of our questions and took their time with each of us. Maceyn showed each of us several hats each, gave us feedback on how they looked, some 'inside baseball' on each hat style, helped us with sizing, etc. all of us bought hats because of her great service. The store has amazing selection and the quality of the goods all seemed very high. I bought a 2 hats! I would 100% recco FM Light and Sons to anyone visiting Steamboat Springs. Also - take a picture w/the horse outside. read more

FM Light and Sons - F.M. Light & Sons - Men's Clothing Near Me - Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Loved checking out FM Light & Sons after seeing all the signs on the way to Steamboat from Denver. The store had a great selection of cowboy necessities: boots, hats, bolo ties, and more! We all walked away with something; My husband a FM Lights shirt, my son a sheriff shirt for 1st birthday party which was western themed, and a Wrangler jacket for me that quickly became a staple in my wardrobe. It's a staple in Steamboat, and we had a lot of fun exploring the western apparel. read more

Great sales and everything else the prices were reasonable. The staff were helpful and so friendly!

The young gentleman at the registers was very friendly and helpful! Come to find out, we are both from Massachusetts and had lots to talk about! read more

I bought my first Stetson with terrific sales help and good inventory. Eclectic and fun.

Service, selection & value. But if you find it and like it - you better buy it then! I missed out this sweet find by 20 min. read more

There are a few T shirt and souvenir stores and a few really expensive clothing/boutique stores. FM Light has a lot of western gear from average to expensive. We found a cute fleece jacket for our granddaughter for about $25. It's dog friendly too. Check it out. read more

FM Light and Sons - You can climb on the horse if below the weight limit - Men's Clothing Near Me - Steamboat Springs, Colorado

This is a really cool shop to check out for western-style apparel! Great selection of clothes, jackets, hats. Tons of great, high-quality brands to choose from too. Clothing is priced on the higher end but make sense based off the brands they are selling. Worth checking out! read more

Great store! Wide selection of all western apparel. Staff was very very helpful! I reccommend it to anyone, especiall beginers like me. read more

If you're coming in to see the boker knives, they have Walmart buck knives sitting on top of the boker display. If you ask the staff if the boker's got moved or if they're out and only carry buck knives. They'll be confused and never answer you. After 2 mins of being confused yourself, you'll casually exit the store like the ghost of a customer you were. read more

My family including my husband, two young children and I stopped in from out of town to shop last week and I must say this is far from a family friendly environment. A woman with blond curly hair was wearing a completely see through very short dress with no undergarments and spaghetti straps barely holding the garment on her body, which also had a hole where her midriff was exposed. She was very flamboyant, and showing off in a very inappropriate manner, purposely showing off her body, and when she bent or moved, her very obvious cleavage and her form was visible, and my husband mentioned he could see "everything" through her dress. We left and I am very disappointed. They should spend less on BRIGHT signs littering the Colorado landscape and more on teaching their employees how to behave and dress in a manner that is family friendly. read more

Everytime I'm in Steamboat, I make sure to stop at FM Light. The selection always has a wide variety of niche items. I'm a huge fan of the pearl snap shirts and they always have something. The history behind FM Light makes thisna worthy visit as it's been a staple for clothing in Steamboat for over 100 years. The staff is always welcoming and engaging and work with customers to bring the best value behind the products they sell. read more

Really cool western store with authentic western wear. When you drive into steamboat you see signs for this place and it's definitely a shop to stop by at right on the Main Street of downtown. Besides western wear they have steamboat souvenirs as well. I would say the western wear is what you should be coming in for as the steamboat souvenirs aren't really unique. Cool shop you should check out. Lots of options and cool stuff in there. read more

We were in Steamboat for a ski vacation- and my teenage daughter had been asking for cowboy boots for over a year. This was the perfect store with a huge selection. We had a well seasoned employee helping her decide on the perfect fit too. My other daughter found a great shawl/ scarf too. read more

Very friendly staff, great selection of western wear and souvenirs. Some stuff is a little on the pricey side but they had some great sale items as well. Definitely something for everyone here! read more

This store has an amazing history! It has a large selection of boots, hats and clothing for all the family!!

FM Lights has been a steamboat staple for generations. If you are looking for a special place to buy a piece of steamboat history, look no further. I wanted to wear cowboy boots to my Steamboat wedding and found the perfect pair of embroidered boots. They were absolutely perfect. This store is also a great outing for kids. They have sheriff badges and $5 cowboy hats for kids to live out their cowboy dreams while they are in the west. read more

Outfitting the west since 1905 and outfitting my wardrobe since I was a kid, it is always a treat to stop into FM Light. I can always find something be it a hat, a shirt, jacket, toys or the best huckleberry chocolate bar. This years trip to Steamboat had me wanting to invest in a nice cowboy hat favorable to winter weather. I left with that and a gr eat pair of boots to go with. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and helped by Peter throughout my shopping venture. It was great getting recommendations about boot fit and what style is suitable for me. The selection isn't abundant but they keep it simple for a reason (because people like me have a hard time choosing just one). Couple of pointers: 1) Don't wear winter style boot socks or at least plan to bring a lightweight sock (better when trying in boots). 2) Ask for a boot jack. FM Light sells them and boy is it a help when removing boots (especially when one doesn't have a significant other to help on those bar crawl nights). 3) Sign up for their points program. Points never expire and you can use/accrue at Chrysalis and Moose Mountain Trading. read more

Everything I've been in this store I've only seen one woman doing here job. I think she said her name was Britt, she was on her hands and knees cleaning the floor. She looked exhausted but was doing what she needed to. Very polite and pretty. I have seen so many people that work there outside smoking or on the phone while she was working. I think the one that speaks very fast like she is on drugs is the manager. Boy she isn't smart at all and very disrespectful. I also overheard her talking about doing drugs to a Co worker. I hope The Britt girl becomes manager. This store looks so much better since she has been here. I come in a couple days looking for a hat. The Emma girl is rude and cuts me off when I speak. I have told this to all that I know. Thanks for hiring Britt read more

The store is crowded and overfilled with merchandise cheaply made and overpriced, employees act strangely and several women were dressed inappropriately in spaghetti strap dresses, one woman was showing her body in a Very transparent dress with lack of coverage in the top area and she wandered the shop aimlessly -from several angles you could see her exposed body under her dress. I thought she was lost but then saw her at the register! I felt embarrassed for both women wearing cocktail dresses, one was less revealing but the other blonde was unprofessional and I did not want to be near her. read more

I just had to stop in FM while walking Steamboat to see what all the fuss was about. I can say that this is a legit western wear store. I was looking for a wool coat but did not see any. And yes when you drive to and from Steamboat the signs just are unique that are placed randomly along the way just hinting at a must see in Steamboat. I highly rec walking steamboat and taking a look around there is an abundance of unique cool places to shop at including FM Light. read more

Loved the iconic roadside signs! I secretly planned on going to to this store well before we ever even arrived in SB for one thing and one thing only, a Jackalope. As we were driving in my husband saw the signs and said "we should check that place out." Long story short, now I have a Jackalope. read more

FM Light and Sons - Men's Clothing Near Me - Steamboat Springs, Colorado

What a fantastic place to look for Western wear. The staff are numerous, helpful, and incredibly friendly. They did a great job with children and look for what works, not to make a sale. Great selection, too. read more

Just a fun place. Bought the family cowboy hats for our trail ride tomorrow. Reasonable and really friendly staff. Down home and funky.

On a recent trip to Steamboat Springs, I was reminded of this store by their effective signage between Kremmling & Steamboat. (They are second only to Wall Drug in southern South Dakota!) I headed there to replace my snow boots and was cheerfully greeted by Peach- a outgoing, knowledgeable new comer to Steamboat. She assisted me in finding the right boots as well as other items. Peach is a perfect addition to the great western wear store. Even if you aren't a western wear fan, you should check it out. And ask for "Peach!" read more

The most amazing retail store in Steamboat & the state of Colorado. Endurance, pure endurance comes to mind when I think of FM Light & Sons. . . In it for the long haul kind of value you just don't see companies hold on to as much these days. They really take care of their people and they are the best in the business when it comes to customer service and ensuring that quality is what people get when they go to FM Light & Sons. Amazing! read more

1st off: As for the advertising signs: They represent an Iconic landmark that's been run for generations from the days gone bye of the old Colorado west. I don't see anyone bitching about how many signs they see to Area 51, Disney World, Alligator Farms, See Santa @ The North Pole, McDonald's or the nearest Kum & Go. Stay home and play your video games and buy off Amazon if it bothers you. Now for the store and it's staff, merchandise and brands. An authentic, old west feeling from the minute you enter the store. Well staffed, Very helpful. Their let me know if you need anything kind of service was gotten from everyone we met there. Major brands, competitively priced and their quality of workmanship you come to expect, I love my Carhartt jeans and the Pendleton wool blankets I picked up during my visit along with a few other smaller things we got. And yes! They do also offer less expensive choices as well to fit anyone's budget. Remember. In this world, If you want nice fresh oats, You'll pay a fair price. However, if you can be satisfied with oats that have already gone thru the horse? They come a lot cheaper." read more

Great selection! Super nice please and had anything and everything for your western needs!

I do love cowboy boots and country bling. That said, as I was driving north towards Steamboat Springs, all the yellow signs for FM Light and Sons along the winding mountain highway caught my eye. I arrived in Steamboat a bit earlier than expected and had some time to pass -- so i decided to check out FM Light and Sons. Cowboy boots? Yep. Country bling? A little bit, yes. Was I impressed? Uhm.. not really. I loved the boots and a few of the accessories in the store, but otherwise, it felt like some touristy shop with basic 'country' clothing. Nothing stood out to me. I've been in several other shops with country/Western wear that seemed more authentic than FM Light and Sons. I'm not saying the store itself wasn't authentic, but.... again, nothing stood out. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I was hoping for something a little more unique and less touristy. Not a bad shop, though. Always good to get a cowboy boot fix. read more

I have been going to Steamboat for 55+ years starting as a young lad. F.M Light was always there, treated everyone fairly and with respect and always has a great stock of authentic western wear. Not for posers but the stuff you would need if you rode the trail every day. It was always a treat as to who could spot the first sign coming up from Denver. Then it was all hands on deck to find everyone until we came to the top of Rabbit Ears. Always a must see and visit. And always walk out with more than you came for!!!!! LOL! read more

The store was smaller and had a smaller selection than I expected. It sold country bling stuff. Some decent brands, but most of it were geared towards tourists and people who wear their boots to bars. You wouldn't wear the stuff to ride a horse or do actual cowboy activities. Overall, I wasn't impressed. read more

Cowboy up! Western Wear for Steamboat Springs, in the same location for more than one-hundred years. What a fun place: Stetson hats, Tony Lama and Dan Post boots, Carhartt and Woolrich clothing, and more. We were in town for a mountaintop wedding, and the wife decided to swap out her spikes for a new pair of southwestern-style bejeweled sandals. I wasn't sure how they would look with her little black dress, but several ladies were similarly attired, they all looked great, and I think those cushy soles doubled their time on the dance floor during the reception. read more

FM Light and Sons - Men's Clothing Near Me - Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Absolutely refuse to step inside this store because FM Light and Sons has decided to pollute the beautiful Colorado countryside with horrid tacky signs every 1/2 mile or so along route 40 (among others). Okay 1 or 2 signs may have been okay (after all a little advertising is okay) but mile after mile of yellow signs gets a bit much. My family all thought the signs abhorrent and decided it was the best anti-advertising there was as we decided on the drive up to Steamboat to avoid it like it had the plague. read more

Love our new gorgeous Pendleton blanket. Adorable FM Light shirts and hats - couldn't resist getting a few. Thank you for the excellent service Thomas. read more
