.High Noon, Saturday: Best Place to Get in Touch With Your Inner Middle American

Golden Gate Western Wear

If you’re still looking for Osama bin Laden (remember him?), look no further than Golden Gate Western Wear. There you’ll find a mannequin dressed as the evil one sitting inside a storefront stockade, quietly awaiting the hangman’s noose. The infamous display, created shortly after September 11, embodies the store’s unapologetically all-American attitude — an attitude that the rest of the world (and parts of the East Bay) simultaneously loves and hates. Politics aside, this is a genuine Western store, where shoppers can peruse real Stetson hats, Wrangler jeans, and leather holsters. Hipsters looking for ironic duds and real dudes looking for range wear will enjoy its collection of faux pearl-buttoned plaids and embroidered long-sleeve shirts. And, of course, there’s a wall of cowboy boots perfect for some real shit-kicking — at home or abroad.
