Today marks what is commonly considered the busiest shipping day of the year. We know you’re probably worn out from camping all night to be the first one to grab that new 60″ 1080p Plasma screen TV so you can catch every grain of dust and drop of sweat of the next PBR event from the comfort of your couch. You’re probably a little sore from battling the masses for the next great Elmo doll that they never seem to stock enough of. Or maybe you’re just too full to move after stuffing yourself with all that turkey and, well, stuffing. It’s possible that in all that chaos you completely forgot to get those jeans you get for you in laws, those new boots your promised your spouse, or maybe you just don’t quite fit into your own jeans anymore after the start of the holiday season.

Well, don’t get up. Head on over to the online store and shop our great selection of jeans, cowboy boots, and western shirts. We even have a few western gifts this year for that person that deserves something a little more unique. And the best part is, we’ll ship it for free. No minimums, required purchases, or any other hoops to jump through. Just fill your shopping cart with as little or as much western wear goodies as you want, select Ground as your shipping method, and enter freeship08 in the coupon field at checkout, or just click the link below and it will be entered for you:

It is time once again for People Magazine’s Style Issue. The October issue is packed with great tips for the Fall. There is also a buying guide for Breast Cancer Awareness you should check out towards the back. C.O Bigelow is making a lotion called Cancer Vixen. Their stuff is great - makes for very smooth skin. Ok wait….this is a clothing site huh? Ok, back to clothes. Wrangler is donating a portion of the proceeds from this Tough Enough shirt to Breast Cancer Research. Stylish, and it benefits cancer research. This could be the best $21.97 you spend all Fall!

Back to that style issue I was perusing the other day - the folks over at People list Levi’s® 524™ jeans as a great buy at under $50…in fact, they put the price tag at $40. Someone over there really needs to hit Langstons.com. Check out the huge variety of 524s™ at the Levi’s® Juniors section - and they are all under $30! And if you are wondering if the “boots over skinny jeans” look is still in for this Fall - yes, it is. There are many pics in this style issue showing it. Skinny and straight leg jeans both with boots, flats and heels. And still lots of bootleg jeans and boyfriend cut jeans too. So really, what I got out of this issue was that jeans are a mainstay for this fall YEAH!!! I love jeans.

Have you ever found the perfect cowboy boot or work boot online, only to find yourself worried that if it doesn’t fit you’re going to be out on the cost of shipping it back? Well, now you can shop for boots, shoes, and work boots worry free at langstons.com. At Langston’s you get one free return or exchange on all footwear items. So, now you can buy Justin Boots, John Deere Boots, Justin Original Workboots, Tony Lama Boots, Georgia Boots, and Ariat Boots with confidence, knowing that if it fits a little different (and let’s be honest, all boots and shoes fit a little different from each other), you can send your boots back for a new pair or a refund and we’ll pay the return shipping costs.

All you need to do is fill out our return request form within 30 days of receipt of your merchandise and we’ll send you a prepaid UPS label, which you can use to ship your boots back to us. That’s it. Please note that this only applies to footwear purchased made after August 22, 2008 and you must provide us with a valid address that UPS will ship from (sorry, no PO Boxes or APO addresses).

Hopefully, this will make shopping online for your next pair of cowboy boots much easier and stress free. Feel free to let us know if you have questions by e-mailing us at service at langstons dot com.

We’ve added many new Levi’s® jeans styles and finishes for the fall. To make things easy, we’re just going to focus on our new Men’s Levi’s® styles for this post.

There are a lot of great new looks this fall for Levi’s® jeans, and the focus is mainly on the slimmer, cleaner look that has become popular in the denim world. Also in line with today’s modern look, many of the finishes feature a darker and cleaner look as well. Not as much damage and even a little less in the way of fades. The raw denim look is in and many of our new finishes reflect that trend. So, first up we have:

Levi’s ® 514 ™ Slim Straight Jeans

The 514™ jean from Levi’s® is becoming one of their most popular fits outside of the 501®. While not as slim as the 511™ Skinny jean (see below), the straight leg jean gives a clean and sophisticated look without any bag or sag. A very modern look and one that proves to be very popular this fall.

Levi’s ® 511 ™ Skinny Jeans

The Levi’s® 511™ Skinny Jeans are the most fashion forward jeans in our new Red Tab line. The skinny leg and 14 3/4″ leg opening provides a very slim line and tight fit. The soft rigid finish (pictured on right) is great for someone wanting the ultimate clean raw look, without the rough feel of rigid denim.

Levi’s ® 512 ™ Slim Fit Jeans

The 512™ is also a slim fit jean. It’s not as skinny as the 511™, but, unlike the 514™, it has a tapered leg. This is a good jean for someone who wants to go slim, but isn’t ready to make the full jump to the 511™ or just doesn’t feel like they can pull off a skinny jean. The clean rinse (left) and vintage medium (right) finishes provide a good choice between the modern clean and dark look and a more classic vintage look.

Levi’s ® 539 ™ Men’s Vintage Straight ECO Jean

Go green and look good. The Levi’s® ECO jean has gotten a lot of attention from environmentally conscious bloggers and press. And judging from my recent trip to market, which dedicated a lot of floor space to green merchandise, this is not just a trend. Many love the quality and feel of organic cotton and the recycled denim fabrications let you know you’re doing your part to limit waste. And with the stylish vintage fit and the modern look of the clean and dark shadow finish, you certainly aren’t sacrificing any style for a good cause.

Levi’s ® 549 ™ Low Loose Jeans

If you like the fit of the 569™, but want a low rise jean, the 549™ Low Loose jean is perfect for you. The rigid broken finish is a great new finish for fall as well. It has the look of well worn raw denim. Urban. Casual. Modern. We expect big things from this jean this fall.

Levi’s ® 557 ™ Relaxed Boot Cut Jeans

Finally, a relaxed fit boot cut jean from Levi’s®. This has been long overdue in our opinion, and Levi’s® did not disappoint with the 557™. Sitting on the hip with a relaxed seat and thigh, it is comfortable, casual, and stylish all at the same time, while still fitting over your favorite pair of cowboy boots. The freebird finish is a great universal finish that is a medium cast denim with sanding and whiskers. You can now relax and wear boots with your Levi’s®.

A new magazine just recently started being published called Domino. It claims to be “The Guide to Living with Style.” And I have to say - it seems to be. They have great decorating articles as well as ones on fashion and just general style. I recommend that you check it out.

In August they sent a supplemental magazine out to subscribers. It was their Fall 2008 Fashion Rocks issue. There is a great article on Keith Urban in it and how he and Nicole Kidmantry and avoid the spot light as much as possible. I guess Nic had enough of that when she was with Tom Cruise. Keith talks about his personal style and how he doesn’t want it to get in the way of his music, or his life. He prefers to wear jeans, Levi’s ® 501 ® jeans to be exact, and a t-shirt. With new t-shirts on the site and new 501 styles on the way, we can help you get that Keith Urban look. Whether that lands you a Nicole Kidman, well, that’s up to you…
