Wild Bill's Western Store offers
everything from Texas Souvenirs to custom made one of a kind cowboy
boots. Our friendly staff will assist you in finding the perfect western
gift. Our prices are guaranteed to be the best in Dallas.
Need to put together a replica Wild Western town in less
time than it takes a cowboy to slur “howdy, partner” through
his chewing tobacco? If so, Bill Dewbre is your man.
Eye the merchandise in one of Dewbre’s stores, and you’re left with
no doubt as to why celebrities are drawn to them like stampeding bulls. Wild
Bill’s Western boot leathers are impeccable, filling the stores with the
musty scent of resin. The designs are all his or his father’s. The hats
are measured, shaped according to preference (the Garth Brooks or perhaps the
Clint Eastwood, depending on customer taste) then steamed to fit perfectly. Buy
your Britney Spears hot-pink Stetson elsewhere folks; this is the real deal. “As
I see it, a good boot takes an artist to design it, an artist to cut it out in
leather, and an artist to stitch it back together,” Dewbre says. “You
want something cheap? Any cheap store can sell a plain-Jane cheap pair of boots.
With my boots, people ask me how long they’re gonna last, and I say, ‘It
depends on how much fun you’re planning on having!”
For Dewbre, it’s
sound business to dress cowboy; you’ll find him kicking around in worn-in
jeans and a Western shirt. “I’ve been doing this since I was 12 years
old, so I’ve seen a few changes in my life and in this business,” he
says. “But the typical boots people like-and the Western shirts-they’ve
been around since way before I have.
