I've been a real workhorse for a certain Western clothing store that also sells some workwear. It's been going on for a couple of years now - at least 3. So far either I've purchased, or somebody close has purchased for me (obviously spread out over time):

• 3 pairs of cowboy boots
• 4 cowboy hats
• 2 western belts and buckels
• 1 wallet
• Pearl snap shirts - my gosh I've lost count - maybe 12-14

And this has been only buying when we have discounts or gift certificates or some other type of coupon so we don't pay full price. I feel the store has a fairly high profit margin which is fair. In this part of the country there are very, very few offline options for purchasing western wear, so good for them.

So I have restrained myself on many occasion and don't just randomly buy anything and I wear everything I buy - including the hats.

My only complaint has been the availability of more variety. They do have a couple of very nice, authentic brands, but they can sometimes just not quite have what I'm looking for. Still - not complaining. The only other real options are online purchases where you can't judge the fit or style as accurately.
