Men’s Western Wear Is Right Here At Jackson’s Western Store

What most defines men’s western wear? Is it the environment? It might just be the case that western wear needs a western environment to flourish. It might be the embodiment of life on a ranch and work in the field. Certainly, a lifetime spent tending to cattle and livestock in the open west would conjure up images of what the western lifestyle is. The hot sun and hard, honest labor of the ranch certainly lends a certain mystique to the mental image of the western lifestyle. But is the western lifestyle so circumscribed? Can one not take that image boldly elsewhere, as an emblem of or homage to it? It might just be that western wear is the product of the spirit of the person wearing it. It can follow you wherever you go as long as you wear it proudly. But then, if it is neither married to the environment or to spirit, it definitely possesses its own innate character. There are a few components of dress and fashion that define men’s western wear, and you can find them all right here at Jackson’s English & Western Store.

The truth is, whether on the ranch, in the field or a barn, or just out on the town, there are several components of men’s western wear that you just can’t remove from your mind. A cowboy without cowboy boots, a cowboy hat or the right pair of jeans is just another person. Western wear is as much a definite image as it is a product of the environment that gave rise to it. When you’re looking for everything you need to put into a wardrobe to exemplify and celebrate the good old down to earth western lifestyle, you can find it all here at Jackson’s English & Western Store.

We Have Cowboy Boots
A cowboy is perhaps first recognized first by his boots. As much as they vary in style, a pair of cowboy boots is instantly recognizable and one of the most definitely recognizable components of western wear. Here at Jackson’s English & Western, we have plenty of cowboy boots in the styles you want and in the brands you want as well. With over 4,000 pairs in stock, we have one of the widest selections of cowboy boots available anywhere, let alone in Michigan.

Not only beautiful but also wildly practical and durable, a good pair of properly broken in and seasoned cowboy boots is a lifelong investment. When properly broken in and form-fitting, a pair of sturdy cowboy boots will offer support and protection in the field when tending livestock, while walking or riding or just when in town. They are supportive, protective, comfortable and wildly durable to give you years of service. That’s not even to mention the impressive aesthetic qualities of so many artistic designs.

Take a look at some of our offerings in cowboy boots from Dan Post, Ariat, Laredo, Corral, Durango, Twisted X and more. You will find among our selection of boots simple, humble work boots and decorative dress boots alike. There’s something for every sense of style and fashion right here on our site at JacksonsWestern.com and in our store in Wayland, Michigan.

Take a look at our Dan Post Men’s Marathon Python Snakeskin Snip Toe Western Cowboy Boots. Python skin vamps give a flashy and exotic look to these boots, as the juncture of bright snakeskin and darker leather upper is unforgettable and unmistakable. Bright, contrasting stitching adorns the leather portion of the upper and makes this a pair of boots that can be worn proudly in town or as part of formal dress.

But these are only an example of some of our most eye-catching lines of boots. We also offer boots like our Ariat Men’s Intrepid Venttek Composite Toe Western Work Boots. These boots are the epitome of rugged, dependable, supportive footwear. It features a SpiderTEK PTO chassis that rebounds when the heel strikes to help support and protect your foot and frame. It has extra room in the toe box to protect you during strenuous work and the protection of a composite toe cap. A full-grain leather shaft and Duratread® outsole leave no doubts upon impression - these are tough work boots. They’re designed to support you, protect your feet, offer you superior traction and keep you dry. Yet even these more humble boots are attractively embellished with bright leatherwork along the front and side quarters.

These are only two examples, however, of the many thousands of options we offer in western boots for men. Cowboy boots are something that every western outfit requires, as there’s no mistaking them as the very foundation of a cowboy. Whether you need a pair for dress or a pair for work or several pairs to keep you well apparelled for every occasion, you can find them right here on our page or in our store.

One more thing - every quality pair of cowboy boots needs to be fitted and stretched in to fit the wearer comfortably. If you don’t take such pains, you’ll be leaving most of the comfort and support of a good fit on the table. Breaking in, particularly, is a time consuming and potentially discomforting process, but necessary to get the boots to form to your feet and fit well. Come visit us at Jackson’s English & Western Store, and we’ll take some of the labor out of the process. We offer free fitting and breaking in services to our customers when they purchase a pair of boots, so you can walk right on out in one of the most comfortable pairs of boots you’ve ever owned.

Don’t Forget A Hat
Perhaps just as pointedly as a pair of cowboy boots, a cowboy hat makes the image of the western man. A cowboy hat is so much more than just style and has its roots in function. Ever since John Stetson created the Boss Of The Plains, the image of the felted wool, wide-brimmed, high crowned cowboy hat has become nothing short of iconic. The originals were made to protect the wearer against the harsh sun of the plains and also be entirely waterproof. That could not only protect the wearer again wind and snow but made it possible for him to scoop up water out of a stream to water his horse, or even to funnel it to his own relief with the brim.

Today, a well-made cowboy hat is still so much more than style, and thanks to the far-reaching utility of those early designs, it’s a piece of fashion that’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Right here on our site, you can find cowboy hats from the simplest models you can use for work outdoors to a fine fur felted cowboy hat that you can use to make a match for, say, a pair of those Dan Post Python Boots. We have the best in stock from Stetson, Bullhide, Outback Trading Company, Ariat and more that you can use to pull off your sense of western style to the greatest effect.

For example, our Bullhide Lucid Dreams Straw Cowboy Hat doesn’t present the same air as some felt models, but it has a dependable and rugged character all its own and is unmistakably a hallmark of western wear for men. It is vented to keep you cool in the midday heat while at the same time protecting you from the sun, making it the perfect addition to your collection of western workwear. It’s still handsomely finished with a hatband sporting the likenesses of buffalo nickels and southwestern accents, adding a little touch of refinement to your work wardrobe.

Take a look at Stetson’s Skyline Black 6X Fur Felt Cowboy Hat made of soft and durable felted beaver fur. Remarkably resilient and useful, this hat creates an image that is the staple of western style. Not only tough and durable but elegant, it could just as easily be worn formally as on the trail.

Between these two options, you will find wool felt, fur felt, straw and even leather cowboy hats to create or complement your sense of style. Additionally, our staff offers fitting services for our hats as well to ensure you get the proper fit for the utmost in comfort and function.

Shirts and Jeans
Perhaps even more for function than for style, shirts and pants that represent the makeup of men’s western wear need to offer comfort and protection to those that rely on them. The cowboy and the wrangler need a certain function from their shirts and pants that go far beyond style. A men’s western shirt should protect him from the sun and briar, but should also fit loosely enough in the sleeves and body to allow a wide range of motion and dexterity. Similarly, a good pair of jeans or chaps needs to protect the wearer from injuries that could be sustained while riding or on the trail, but still be flexible enough to move in comfortably.

Take a look at some of our cowboy shirts from Ariat, Cinch and Wrangler. Available in an array of attractive colors, patterns, and styles, our shirts are comfortable and flexible. Many of our western shirts have a fuller body, longer shirt tails to keep them tucked in, and plenty of room in the sleeves. That can help immensely when the wearer is trying intently to stay on the back of a horse, to use a rope to bring a calf to heel, or just needs a little extra range of motion in the outdoors.

We offer jeans from Ariat, Cinch, Wrangler and more with these elements of comfort and function in mind. Many of our jeans are cut for boots, and fit the form just right to balance protection with mobility. Check out some of our chaps from Horze, Hobby Horse, Ovation and more to complete your sense of style. Not only necessary for trail riding but immensely complementary to a western sense of appeal, our chaps can help put the finishing touches on your western getup.
