A Store With Testosterone: Stockdale’s

I live with so many females in my life.  Everything oozes with estrogen, from the types of food we eat, to the stores at which we shop. I have stood and waited uncomfortably in more bra sections of stores than I can count. Thank the Lord I took the initiative to walk through the doors of a new store – Stockdale’s.

On a whim, without knowing anything about Stockdale’s, I said, “Let’s go in here…they say they’re America’s rural outfitters, and we live in rural America.” I can’t tell you how good it felt to have the first thing I see be a large kiosk of nothing but Case knives. This was definitely not J.C. Penney’s or Bed Bath & Beyond.

Because there was bad weather in the forecast, the store we went into was about to close early. I didn’t get to see everything, but I did make a quick trip around. There was everything from horse saddles to blue jeans. But when I saw a whole end cap full of cowboy cap guns, I told me wife, “We have got to come back to this place.”

I am posting this at a time when my wife is telling me I need to go to bed because I have to get up early; is correcting the way I put away towels; and is chastising me for my supposed poor positioning of Thanksgiving decorations in the closet. Can you see why I think a store with TESTOSTERONE is just what the doctor ordered?

I hope they have a store near you.  If they don’t, then just go watch a John Wayne movie.
