Portland or San Fran vintage stores<br />

Clothing store that Jackson needs<br />

Clothing store that needs to go:<br />

Women’s Western wear in general –<br />

there’s how many leather and fur<br />

stores in this town?<br />

Best trend sighted in Jackson:<br />

<strong>The</strong> high school kids are down with<br />

good style; the kinda punk-rock-emoneon<br />

stuff.<br />

Worst trend sighted in Jackson:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Patagoochi trend<br />

Jackson’s fashion scene is often easily dismissed and frequently stereotyped. When<br />

asked to define valley style, “function” and “comfort” are commonly heard from the mouths<br />

of locals and visitors. Outdoor brands like Patagonia, <strong>The</strong> North Face, Marmot and locally<br />

grown Cloudveil are mentioned often around town.<br />

Although half put to rest with the last of Clint Eastwood’s Western flicks, the other familiar<br />

Jackson get-up – a good ole cowboy hat, denim and cowboy boots –– is still spotted on<br />

two different sets of folks: the real-deal cowboys who work area ranches and out-of-town<br />

imitators.<br />

However, in an attempt to escape city life – as well as the confines of the suit-and-tie mainstream<br />

– new residents bring bits and pieces of their old lives and the styles to which<br />

they’ve become accustomed. <strong>The</strong>se expats of American cubicle culture create an eclectic<br />

mélange of Jackson fashion, not unlike cosmopolitan cities, though harder to find.<br />

Locals<br />

hip-hop for sure; b-boy.<br />

Jackson fashion in one word: Boring<br />

(except for the high school kids)<br />

Favorite place to shop: Internet<br />

Clothing store that Jackson needs<br />

most: F*ck…more snowboard shops.<br />

Clothing store that needs to go: <strong>The</strong><br />

stupid pawn shop that doesn’t pawn<br />

sh*t – it just sells guns and knives.<br />

Best trend sighted in Jackson: All the<br />

young kids<br />

Worst trend sighted in Jackson:<br />

“I don’t jib.”<br />

fashion gripes,<br />

Jackson fashion in one word:<br />

Outerwear<br />

Clothing store that Jackson needs<br />

most: It’s a tossup between Target, Old<br />

Navy and American Apparel.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re might be, maybe, one too many<br />

fur stores.<br />

Best trend sighted in Jackson:<br />

Tourists who wear matching outfits and<br />

couples that match.<br />

Worst trend sighted in Jackson:<br />

I think some people have bad manners<br />

and - I’m guilty of this too - the oversized<br />

beanies with reservoir tips. This<br />

look kinda silly.<br />

<strong>The</strong> damn moon boots. <strong>The</strong>y have<br />

multiple colors of them at the<br />

Bootlegger and they are heinous.
