Never heard of a New England Cowboy? I spy one at Rick Walker's Western Store. Filled with clothing and acccessories-all that is Southern/Western. Giddy-up with authentic cowboy hats, boots, plaid shirts, and rugged jeans- Ya'll ain't seen nothin' like this here store.... On the very New England street of Newbury, this store may be out of place, but has just enough personality to start a new cowboy fashion trend.

Eco-friendly store serving up recycled-material goods, gifts, and thinger-ma-gijers. Everything is very Martha-Stewart, tree-huggin', and moderately expensive. But just think, you're not buying just a present for you/friend, you're buying the earth a little more time.....

In 1966, two hiking enthusiasts founded a small mountaineering retail store in the heart of San Francisco's North Beach. The Company soon became known as The North Face, a retailer of high-performance climbing and backpacking equipment. (The name was selected because in the Northern Hemisphere, the north face of a mountain is generally the coldest, iciest and most formidable to climb.) In 1968, The North Face began designing and manufacturing its own brand of high-performance mountaineering apparel and equipment, and in the early 1980s, extreme skiwear was added to the product offering. By the end of the decade, The North Face became the only supplier in the United States to offer a comprehensive collection of high-performance outerwear, skiwear, sleeping bags, packs and tents.

Now, 38 years after its start in the outdoor industry, The North Face provides an extensive line of performance apparel, equipment and footwear. Offering the most technically advanced products on the market, The North Face is the choice of the world's most accomplished climbers, mountaineers, extreme skiers, snowboarders and explorers.

This is the place for designer jeans with an "industrial" flare. Often Diesil jeans have a really cool labor worker look (such as big pockets, railroad style strips) with a pricey tag. You won't find the typical flashy glitter pockets like most designers to to their jeans. The store has other clothing, and often tailors to the "sporty" style.
