Bryan Edwards I was gifted an incredible American Hat Co. 10X cowboy hat by a great friend — and that started a pretty special experience. I was recommended to Manny, the hat shaper and hat artist at Arctic Hats in Salinas (El Primo — one of their family’s four stores). Manny has that old-school craftsmanship and creative touch that’s getting harder and harder to find. He shaped another hat for me last week and we immediately hit it off. Cowboy hats are personal — they tell a story about the person wearing them, the same way a good tailor or barber understands their client. Manny gets that. This week he reshaped six of my hats. Then I bought a steel grey American Hat Co. 10X from him under one condition:
“Do you. Do your damnedest.” After talking hats (and life) for a couple hours, I stepped out to take Senta! for a quick potty break — complete trust. When I came back, the hat was finished… and perfect. I had nothing to suggest, nothing to change — just respect and a thank you. I may have to go back to work just to afford more of Manny’s shaping. We’ve already picked out a few vintage projects vintage hats I have… and I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying more hats. Some craftsmanship you don’t just buy — you experience it.

brian vaughan Great store Great owner operator "Bob" or was it Stewart. Had lots of fun picking out some Frenchy Dog socks for my grandson, and some very nice Marino wool socks for myself. Prices are very reasonable.

Darla Retzlaff Found the perfect dress for my granddaughter’s Prom. It needed a little adjustment and because she needed it the next day they sewed it up on the sides and made it perfect. I do recommend giving them time to order your perfect size. I will shop there again, and I recommend them.

Juliet Olmos I love the variety of comfortable, stylish threads that Sacred State Designs makes - and all sustainably too! I bought one for my partner and he loves it and wears it all the time. The fabric is so soft and cozy and the art is amazing. Cant wait to purchase more!
