Alright Denver, did you know you can make custom hats right here in Cherry Creek? This is none…read moreother than Hats by Parker Thomas. This was my first time making a hat like this and it was so much fun. If you need a hat for the National Western Stock Show, country concert, or just chic western city living, this is the spot. First, we picked out the style and color. Each hat & design depends on each customer, but most hats can be done in around 20 minutes. We were in the shop for about an hour because we were having such a good time. I can't say enough good things about Parker, Taylor & Garrett - they all were wonderful and really helped steer us in the right direction on what colors would look best with our hair and what accessories would look best on the hat. Since I had never done this before, the help was much needed (and appreciated)! I went with a brown feather band and light red cord to be wrapped around the band twice. Then Taylor tied the cord in the back to make a short tail. Our hats were sized & steamed to get the perfect look. The steam made the hats more pliable to make custom crowns and brim shapes. Once the hat was back to room temperature, the new shape was set. Then it was time to brand! This was one of my favorite parts of the hat making experience - it added so much personal character to each hat. I had 'DENV.HER.' branded on the bottom of the rim and also did Parker Thomas' logo. Then I had a rose branded on the top. Talk about a great activity to do with a friend. You can even book Hats by Parker Thomas for private events! They have their own retail display, steamer, tables and racks so they can take this show on the road just about anywhere. My final look was burgundy western chic - love her.

The people were great in handling the return (it was more than 90 days but the hat still had all of its tags, stickers, etc.).

So I emailed them the UPS tracking number and pertinent information along with my apologies. They seamlessly handled the return without any additional information from me. Thank you sooo much! And the quality of the merchandise is absolutely top notch!

I was in need for a new Ariat shirt and and a cowboy hat for a wedding that we were attending at the last minute out of state. However, I was not able to find the right color shirt that matched my wife's dress. I had been to several stores, was running out of patience and luck. I was the told about El Dorado at Flatirons mall, and gave them a call, and as luck would have it, they had the color that I was looking for. The young man and lady working that day were very nice and helpful, I decided to buy a new cowboy hat as well, since we were going to San Antonio, Texas (when in Rome). They were so friendly, I think I will go back and possibly get me a new pair of boots! Thanks for your assistance at the Flatirons location, Y'all rock!

As it turns out, they also have a small sister store in Denver International Airport. The merchandise is focused on the expression "Be Hippy" with quality clothing for women, men, and children, hats, unique jewelry, housewares, toys, pet items, stickers, and more. We found several gifts for friends and a couple for ourselves. They offer free shipping on orders over $100 for online orders. They donate one-percent of their gross sales to "1% for the Planet", an organization that has helped to direct hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental nonprofits around the world. The hours posted in the entrance are: Sunday - Noon to 5:00 PM, Tuesday - Saturday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed Mondays.

So I had to email them again and ask them to follow up on the order since I had not received an email or the sweatshirt and Christmas was in 3 days. To which I received another email saying they've reached out to the people that handle the online ordering but have not gotten a response. No Christmas present arrived for my sister.... I reached out again on the 26th as I never heard back with any information. This time I received a response saying they are reaching out to the owners. Well we are now on Friday the 29th and still no idea where my order is and no response from the company. I've left a voice mail and tried to message through social media but all attempts to reach someone instruct you to email the worthless email address where clearly the person answering the emails doesn't know anything.

They are NOT some generic, corporate outlet. They ARE a family-owned business with a wide selection and outstanding service. Ask for Doug if you're shopping for boots. He knows everything. My teen wanted a pair of cowboy books and I had no idea where to begin. I asked around and searched the internet but really, you need someone with expertise. We went a couple of other places and everyone we met was a new hire. At High Country we found people with deep experience. Doug took care of us. He had repaired boots for decades before moving to the sales side. He had thoughtful, first-hand insights about boot construction, durability, and repair. He patiently answered every question we had to make sure we found the right fit for what we needed. Can't wait to go back when my other kids are ready for a pair. They offer boots on a wide range of price points and styles. They can tell why things cost what they do and what is worth paying for. Everybody's feet are different and every boot maker is a little different so you really can't order online. If they pinch or chafe you're not going to end up wearing them no matter how cool or cute they look. Going into the shop let us get the right boot the first time around. They should last for decades. It's worth investing the time and money to do it right.

This is a review for Jo, but story time first…read more In the mid 90's my husband was gifted his grandfather's beautiful rodeo cowboy hat by his grandmother. He has always been sentimental about it, wearing it often, beating it up with wear. Over the years it got crustier and gained more of a patina as he reshaped it over and over again over our tea kettle. The crustier it became, the more he loved it. One day it went missing, and for months he lamented his loss until it was uncovered, completely flat, under a stack of winter blankets. Regardless of its condition he excitedly worked to reshape it, once again reviving it and bringing it fully back to life (to my surprise!) About a month later he came home from work to find our dog Pepper had completely mangled it, tearing off hunks of the crown as if she were peeling a tennis ball, her favorite pastime. Devastation doesn't cover the emotional state of this poor man holding his grandfather's hat with huge holes all over it. It was a complete loss. Over the past year or so I have hunted high and low for a similar vintage rodeo hat he could reshape and make his own- with zero luck. It was on my list of things to hunt for when we visited a friend in Denver, she sent us off to the Brass Armadillo to hunt through the vast array of antiques and vintage. He tried on many hats and not one felt right. On our last full day in Denver we decided to stop into Western/// and decided on an open crown hat in just the right hue. That's when we met Jo, who took her time shaping this brand new hat from an old photo of the destroyed one. She took her time understanding the importance of finally finding a good replacement for such a sentimental loss. I'd found a hat too, and by the time Jo was satisfied with shaping the first hat it was already past closing time. She apologized for holding up our evening, but continued taking her time shaping the second hat just how I wanted it. By the time we left my husband had also purchased a handsome retro Wrangler denim jacket, something he's not apt to do- he doesn't ever treat himself! He was completely blissed out on his new hat. Never once were we rushed or made to feel as though we held anyone up. We were treated kindly, allowed to roam a bit to browse the selection, and eventually released into the chilly evening so Jo and her associate could finish closing the store- over an hour past closing time. I have to admit, we felt like finding something appropriate was a long shot and were fully prepared to walk in and right back out. Neither one of us resonated with the pre formed styles offered, so purchasing a blank and having a craftsperson like Jo tease out a shape by hand was impressive to observe, and both of us wore our hats out proudly. Afterward, we ended up going out for drinks at a cowboy themed bar in Denver just to celebrate our new hats. Jo, we want to thank you for taking your time to recreate something so special to my husband. He's looking forward to beating it up and making new memories in it. Thank you especially for treating us so well and for your hospitality after hours, we really appreciate it! 10/10 recommend Western ///, especially if you want a hat- and make sure to have Jo shape it for you. Decades ago my husband was gifted his grandpa's gorgeous vintage rodeo cowboy hat by his grandma so it had sentimental value. He wore it ragged, reshaped it many times using a tea kettle in our kitchen, reviving it over and over again. When it went missing for months he was distraught thinking it was gone forever, only to find it crushed flat as a pancake under a pile of winter blankets. He once again revived his beloved hat loving the way all the abuse over the years had given it a unique patina and crustiness. Then he came home one day to a trail of torn apart hat. Our dog had made a meal of it. He was DEVASTATED. He again tried a revival but the damage was just too insurmountable. I've hunted high and low for a well fitting replacement with similar coloring and it has just not surfaced. On our trip from CA to visit a friend in Arvada, we popped into High Country Western Wear on Saturday night hoping to find a replacement cowboy hat, not really thinking we'd find it. He settled on a similarly colored open crown style (while I found a nice bright red for myself) and Jo went to work shaping from an old photo. She worked and worked to get the shaping and fit just right. She took her time getting the slope just right on the brim, and crafting the crown just right. Jo was phenomenal. She recreated a very decent copy of the original making my husband an extremely happy man. As she shaped mine he found a retro wrangler jacket he couldn't live without. We both love our new hats! I definitely recommend this shop, Jo stayed a whole hour to make sure we got the exact hats we envisioned and was kind the entire time.
