In need of a mild adventure, SLC pomp ventured north on Saturday to Smith & Edwards which is just off the freeway sometime after Odgen. Their billboards say things like "Holy Cow! What a store!" and "We have anything you want... if you can find it." Smith & Edwards is the anti-IKEA.
The store describes itself as surplus-plus, so they sell a wide variety of stuff that military was throwing away AND new saddles, hunting gear, hardware, cheap candy, and home decor.
The surplus section was my favorite part. These bags were only $4.99! With prices like these within a 30 minute drive, there is no reason to buy overpriced G Star Raw clothes ever again.
Though they aren't likely to impress anyone at the Bang & Olufsen store, these headphones will help anyone looking to further blur the line between hipsters and crazy homeless people. Your Iron & Wine mp3s will sound even more weepy-whispery coming through used army earpieces. I suggest a once-over with rubbing alcohol before putting them on your actual ears.
And of course, Smith & Edwards has amazing hats, from fur and leather pilots' hats to multicolored straw cowboy hats. I picked up a railroad engineer's hat, upon which I placed my dad's old steelworker's union button. It makes me feel tough.
Happy trails,
SLC pomp
