Cavenders is a Western store for men, women and children selling hats, cowboy boots, clothing and some jewellery and accessories. Cavenders is a wonderful Texas experience for the tourist and a great place to shop for the local.
As you go in, you will probably be greeted with a ‘howdy’ from the friendly staff at the checkout. The store is well laid out. On the right is the kid’s section and the men’s boots and hats. There is a huge variety and all sizes are available. Helpful assistants will find the right size for you – you have to get hat size right otherwise it will look or feel weird! Then there are shelf after shelf of boots, from the inexpensive but long lasting Justin boots to the more expensive Luccheses and others. There are boots with round toes, square toes and pointy toes, flat boots, heels, and all different colors and some different materials and trims. You will find something you like for sure.
On the front left side of the store is the ladies section – boots and clothes. You can find lots of pretty tops as well as jeans and beaded flipflops as well as cowboy boots. Behind that is the men’s clothing section – lots of Wranglers and checked shirts but a good deal of other stuff too – both work quality and going out stuff. The clothes at Cavenders in general are fairly expensive but the quality of the items stocked is really good and they will last and last.
In the middle of the store are the belts and buckles, jewellery, billfolds and so on. I love the silver jewellery they sell at Cavenders. They also have some Texas memorabilia, cards, key rings and Western style home decor items.
Service at Cavenders is polite and helpful. They will return any unworn item with a receipt and will issue giftcards if you need to exchange but haven’t time to shop. A Cavenders gift card is always a great gift by the way.
Occasionally Cavenders will have a ‘Round-up’ sale with $10 or $20 off certain brands of cowboy boots or something similar but on the whole there are not many ‘bargains’ to be found as Western fashions don’t change a great deal so the stock stays pretty consistent.
Finally, Cavenders is open until 8pm so you can shop after work. They also have a great website and you can order online. This is great for guys that wear out their clothes and just want repeat orders of the same thing!
