4 New Ways to Stay Warm & Keep Food Hot in Tough, Cold Weather

October 24, 2016 - posted by Rose Marion

With winter just around the corner, we’ve stocked up on your must-haves for playing & working outside.

Whether your job’s out in the elements, or you like to play out in the snow, you’ll love these new clothes and food & drink items from rugged brands like Stanley & Berne.

Some Smith & Edwards employees volunteered to help show off the new goods – thanks guys!

Stanley thermoses are the go-to for keeping coffee, hot chocolate, soup, & chili warm while you’re working at a cold job site. We visited the north yard at Smith & Edwards to put them to the test.

These are tough enough to keep your meals & hot chocolate warm for 2 days. Now that’s good for just about any type of traveling or outdoor job. Not to mention they’re perfect for Ice Fishing & Elk Camp!

These Stanley insulated stainless steel pint cups have a grip built in. They come with a sipping lid, and keep your iced beverage cold for 4 hours!

If you want to keep your cold beverages cold, Stanley thermoses are still the way to go! With growlers and cups, you’re covered for summer concerts & relaxing on the porch.

New items from Stanley include a 2-gallon Adventure Jug Beverage Dispenser (bottom left), metal lunch box, insulated growlers, and new sizes of the time-tested Stanley thermos!

We carry the old Stanley standards, plus we just got in brand-new styles! Stanley now has a crock pot and a water jug with spout dispenser in 1-gallon & 2-gallon sizes. There’s also a new Stanley lunch pail that nests a Stanley bottle or mug with plenty of room for food.

EmmaLee’s Stanley 3-quart Adventure Vacuum Crock keeps hot food hot for 12 hours, and cold food cold up to 16 hours!
Cole’s holding the Stanley 2-Stage Lid Thermos. Depending on which size thermos you buy, this insulated stainless steel thermos will keep ice water cold for 36-48 hours!

Dreamed up in Utah, these genius reusable Dutch oven liners are here at Smith & Edwards! Sized exactly for your 12″ or 6-quart Dutch oven, there will be more sizes to come.

Made to withstand temperatures up to 450 degrees, this saves you from hauling that heavy cast iron pan over to the sink or stream to scrape dried dessert off the sides. Just peel it from your Dutch oven, then hand wash or place in dishwasher!

This blue Dutch oven liner will keep your cast iron clean! Plus: Click here for Dutch oven cookbooks. Click for our popular camo tablecloths!

This new item is COMING SOON to Smith & Edwards…. watch this page for updates!

You can see our clothing buyer, Craig, above. He just added a new line of workwear. Why?

Berne’s jackets feature pleated action backs and elbows to let you move with ease when you’re working. Instead of the whole jacket shifting when you reach or lift, the elbows and back extend to keep you covered.
Every men’s & women’s work jacket & coat features 3 inside-chest pockets
All main seams on Berne insulated outerwear feature triple-needle stitching for extra security
It’s a great product at a good price!

Berne is also available for ladies! Styled & designed to fit ladies comfortably, you’ll find insulated work wear designed for women from the Berne product line. And it’s not just the tailoring: choose from traditional or fresh, bold colors like bright blue and dark pink!

Berne is just the latest addition to our huge workwear collection. You’ll find Carhartt, CAT, Dickies, Ariat, and Wrangler RIGGS workwear in our store in Ogden, Utah as well as our web store. You’ll also find our customers’ favorite made-in-USA work gloves, Yellowstone Gloves (read why they’re a favorite, here).

Nicolo, Logan, John, & Jerica

Bonus: Much of this gear is also great for Ice Fishing, too!

Skiing, snowboarding, hunting, ice fishing – the key to staying warm in those awesome winter hobbies is to keep a synthetic base layer on! Cotton will actually chill you when you sweat – so choose a good top & bottom baselayer set from Columbia or Under Armour for ladies. For the guys, we have those same brands plus Carhartt base layers available.

You'll find women's base layers for Columbia & Under Armour - perfect for ice fishing!

We carry them for her! You’ll find women’s base layers for Columbia & Under Armour. They’ll keep her warm ice fishing!

Valentine’s Day Outfits: “You had me at YELLOW”

February 3, 2016 - posted by Jerica Parker

“You had me at yellow” is how this young couple came to be.

Spencer, part of the Sporting Goods team here at Smith & Edwards, and his lovely new wife Emily, said they would love to be the models of our new Valentine’s Day outfits.

So, we took them across the road to Willard Bay, and what a beautiful winter day for this cute couple to spend together!

You had me at Yellow…

Emily looks amazing in this cute yellow and gray raglan tee from Cruel. The 3/4 length sleeves and geometric pattern print on the front are both comfy and stylish. And she’s combined it with a Cruel hat with navy and yellow embroidery to match the geometric design of her top.

Do it like Spencer, flirty in a lightweight gray t-shirt from Hooey. It’s great on its own, or you can combine it with a nice button-up for a dressier look. He’s wearing a Stetson pink and blue plaid button-up shirt loosely over top.

Keep it comfortable in jeans like Spencer’s Regular Joes by Tin Haul, and Emily’s Bailey Cinch jeans.

I’d be blue without you…

Another great look for this Valentine’s Day is “I’d be blue without you.”

Emily has this written all over her with this fashionable navy blue Cruel cotton button-up shirt with cute stitching and arrow print.

With all of her outfits, Emily has added the perfect touch with some arrow designed jewelry from Rock 47 by Wrangler.

And for the finishing detail, Emily has on Latigo Tucson boots from Tony Lama. These are perfect for any outfit with a great tan color and beautiful decorative stitching. Spencer sports Hooey Twisted X boots with stitching up the dark leather shaft and Hooey embroidered logo on the vamp. Click here to shop cowboy boots on our website!

A big thanks to Spencer and Emily for modeling and standing out in the freezing cold with us! They did amazing, and it was so much fun to do this shoot with them.

Valentine’s Day doesn’t always mean pink and red! Mix it up with these “You had me at Yellow” and “I’d be Blue without you” fashions this Valentine’s Day.

Right on HUE: Dyeing Rodeo Outfits for Queens with Rodeo Ink

October 3, 2015 - posted by Jerica Parker

I have always looked at Rodeo Queen contestants and wondered how they got all their outfits to match so perfectly. It’s incredible! From their hats, to their boots, and even their horse tack, it is all the same shade.

A frequent question we get asked is, How do I dye my own rodeo queen outfits? So, we asked around to give you the answers.

A photo posted by Rodeo Ink (@rodeoink) on Aug 3, 2015 at 10:32am PDT

If you’ve ever tried to dye your own rodeo outfits, you’ve experienced just how hard it really is. Sometimes they can turn out, and other times the whole batch is botched.

So we talked to Ron Hansen, owner of the Rodeo Ink Company. We got the chance to sit down with him and talk to him a little bit about his business Rodeo Ink and dyeing rodeo outfits.

Dyeing Rodeo Outfits Q&A

S&E: How did you get started?

Ron: Ever since my little girl started doing rodeo queen contests, I’ve started dyeing her outfits. Pretty soon, word got out, and I began sending out dye orders for rodeo queens all over the states. It’s been 5 years now since I’ve started, and since Rodeo Ink opened for business.

S&E: What are some common mistakes people will make when dyeing on their own?

Ron: Well, dyeing is kind of a tricky thing. Many times, people don’t take into account all the different materials and dyes you have to use to get the same shade on everything. People can very easily can ruin a pair of jeans when dyeing. I hear a lot of “Help me fix this!” and a lot of times, stripping the dye out again is nearly impossible.

So I help people start over. Some good jeans to start with when dyeing are white Wranglers, style 13 or 14, and blank white boots. That way the dye goes on in its pure color, and you’re not overlapping and getting strange colors in the end.

S&E: What does a rodeo queen need dyed?

Ron: Just about everything! That includes shirt, jeans, boots, etc. Even reins, saddle pads, and custom tack. I can dye all those all the same color to match the outfit. Also, I have a contact with someone who does custom jewelry, airbrushing, and more.

S&E: What other events do you do dyeing for?

Ron: I do stuff for high school rodeo queen contestants, horse shows, Western pleasure, Texas stock shows, and even youth competitions – not just high schoolers. Also, I have worked with State Queens and Miss Rodeo America contestants.

S&E: What’s rodeo queening’s effect on families?

Ron: Rodeo Queening is a great program for families. I have been involved in rodeo for more than 30 years and I was a rodeo clown & bull fighter for about 13 years. My whole family has been involved in rodeo for 10 years now and we have learned a lot, and not only about rodeo.

Being involved in rodeo queen pageants teaches kids about responsibility and self-worth, which is something that can help these kids out a lot when growing up.

Now We Know!

Thank you Ron! He gave us some awesome tips and ideas and we hope that those were able to help you as well. He’s got a knack for dyeing and says that he can match any color you send him. He recently added a new gal to help him out during the peak season, where they send out about 10-12 pairs in a week to orders from all across the United States and Canada.

If you would like to get into contact with Ron, or would like to look at some of his work, here you can check out his Rodeo Ink Instagram or his Rodeo Ink Facebook page.

What You Need for Pioneer Trek

June 24, 2015 - posted by Rebecca Adams

The trek is an opportunity to travel back in time and let go of everyday comforts and modern technology. Cell phones, cars, and cable are left at home and are replaced with handcarts, face-to-face conversation, and the great outdoors.

When you start your trek you are placed into a family that consists of a ma, pa, and siblings. The group is about ten people to a handcart as they travel up to 13 miles a day. Looking for a packing list to replace your misplaced list? Check out our Trek Packing List!

Ranch Menswear Inspiration

April 2, 2015 - posted by Misti Kosoff

The guys I see come in to Smith & Edwards who work a ranch, know what they like. They stick to the brands that work for them: Wrangler, Carhartt, Ariat. As a wife, it’s straightforward to get him a new shirt or new pair of jeans that I know he’ll love – because it’s just like his old ones.

Get your hard-working husband a good new vest or pair of pants for Easter: he’ll be blown away by how well you “get” what he likes.

From functional and practical, to classic and just good looking, this ranch-inspired outfit has the hard-working rancher covered.

Wrangler’s 47MWZ premium performance, advanced comfort jean was built with the working cowboy in mind. An update of the 13MWZ western original jean, the 47MWZ has a more comfortable waist, larger front pockets – for that all-important cell phone, 20% longer lasting denim, and smoother seams. All that and it looks good, too.

The Wrangler Painted Desert Basic Work shirt is a classic that is built to last. Made of 100% 5oz solid twill, it is perfect for the spring weather but heavy enough to hold up against everyday wear and tear. We carry it in white, tan, and black – as well as this vivid red dye. Here’s another look, ladies…

Then over that shirt, this Carhartt quilt-lined vest is a perfect spring layering piece that is as tough as the men that wear it.

Those Ariat roper-toe boots are made from premium leather, and have more technology in them than you’d expect from a cowboy boot, to stabilize him and keep his feet cushioned. See these boots online.

Remember to get him a new Wild Rag: a rancher doesn’t want to be caught without one. You can even get a matching silk wild rag for your son wanting to be just like dad: we carry both kids’ and adult sizes, here.
