This week might have to be “Texas Week” on ACL. Meet STAG, a new men’s shop that opened this past weekend in Austin. The shop is the brain trust of friends Don Weir, Steve Shuck, Ted Allen, Bobby Johns and Joel Mozersky (ed note: alt name Five Guys) who put together an impressive stock list (Apparel: RRL, Burkman Bros, Oliver Spencer, Penfield, Dunderdon, Oxen, Rockmount Ranchwear, Vintage Denim Jackets, Vintage Chambray Shirts, Vintage Pendleton overshirts. Shoes: Frye, PF Flyers, Clarks, HELM Handmade Boots (new Austin company), Vintage Workboots. Accessories: Tanner, Hill Side, Wild Duck Totes, Beckel Bags, Randolph Engineering, Welch Suspenders, Hamilton Watches, etc. Plus, brands like Filson, Civil Smith and Universal Works among others coming in the Spring). Since all of the guys involved in STAG have antique dealer backgrounds, expect a lot of vintage furniture, collectibles and ephemera. STAG looks like yet another reason to visit Austin, well done gents.

HOT DAMN HOT DAMN HOT DAMN.
Thank you sir for informing me that my town once again has something to offer in this category. I was literally just thinking about what a shame it was we don’t have anything resembling The Field House in Seattle.

I’m in Austin for a visit right now and checked the store out last night. The furniture, clothing selections, and merchandising are all super well done. There’s an amazing table there I’d love to have in my shop. Plus the guys behind it are a bunch of sweethearts. Good times.

Stag is an amazing shop. Excellent selection and beautifully executed. If I lived in Austin, Stag would see a good portion of my paycheck. Thanks to the helpful staff. Peace!
