Terryn’s RANCHWEAR REVIEW BY TERRYN “T” DRIELING

Best of the (online) West his isn’t your typical Ranchwear Review. This time around, instead of talking about what to wear, we’re talking about where to get what you wear delivered directly to your door from some great online western shops.

T’s Tried and True (T – that’s me, Terryn) The Fort

To be honest, I’ve done far more shopping at The Fort’s brick-and-mortar than I have in their online shop. Growing up in Nebraska, it was the premier one-stop western shop. We’d make the occasional special trip and stop in every time we were in Lincoln. Today, we still make a stop at The Fort every time we’re in Lincoln. Since 1972, The Fort has been a go-to for every thing Western, offering a wide range of cowboy hats, workwear, boots, saddles, and tack — all at prices that won’t break the bank. Although I hav en’t frequented the online shop as much as I have the brick-and-mortar store, they do have a robust online selection, like in their stores. The last pair of riding boots Tom purchased were a pair of Olathe’s from in the store. Tom and our boy, Tripp, both got their most recent straw hats from The Fort. We’ve picked up some tack and I ordered some jeans from their online store. The Fort carries several of the tried-and-true brands I’ve mentioned here in the Ranchwear Review. They’ve got Kimes Ranch, Twisted X, Wrangler, Ely, Danner, and more. Whether you’re shopping in-store or online, The Fort likely has you covered. www.fortbrands.com Reader’s Choice As usual, I went to the readers for their favor ite online Western shops.

Frustrated by the lack of options that fit her life style beyond the rodeo, Ryley started the busi ness in her parents’ basement, where her family pitched in to get it off the ground. Since its inception, Savannah 7s has grown into a global brand where you can shop via the website or the Savannah 7s app. As business has grown so
