Overland Sheepskin Company

El Prado

This spacious Taos store carries high-quality sheepskin coats, hats, mittens, accessories, rugs, slippers, and more. The location is the first Overland Sheepskin Co. opened in 1973 in a small adobe near Taos Plaza, and now it is part of a network of 17 stores, mostly in the American West. The gorgeous setting of the current Taos store––in the shadows of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, amid a complex of several other shops and restaurants––is itself a reason for a visit.

The Tie Bar

Lincoln Park

If you're in need of a new necktie, the Tie Bar’s flagship store is the place for you. It stocks everything from funky bow ties to more traditional styles, with pocket squares to match—all bargain-priced, considering the quality. Helpful staff are at the ready with styling suggestions for novice dandies.
