The Branding Iron

This was just the place I've been looking for. I always wanted a duster and I found the right one here. The staff was very helpful, and they even honor veterans! A must stop place if you're looking for western wear in Tombstone.

I found this store during my stroll down the main drag on Helldorado Days weekend. Was looking for a cool Stetson Hat to sport. I was helped by Adam. He helped me find the hat I was looking for. Made sure it fit properly and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. I would 100% recommend this store. Thanks for the great experience Adam.

This store is awesome! I bought the coolest hat ever here - and had a super good experience with the wonderful help I received.The other reviewer may have just hit them at a down moment, cause for me and my shopping partner, it was AWESOME service for sure.

Bought a pair of boots there and Nic my sales lady was very professional and friendly. I had a nice conversation with her and we had a lot in common. Very cool store with good prices. I highly recommend this place. Jay

Our first trip to Tombstone, Arizona and our first stop at a western hat/boots store was at the Branding Iron. Our 16 month old daughter had only touched a boot when a lady approached us and told my daughter not to touch the boot, and asked us if we wanted to buy it. Mind you my daughter is a toddler but the way this lady talked to her was very rude. Even to ask me and my husband if we were interested in purchasing the boot. We were just looking to see what the store had and would have purchased something if she wasn't that rude to us. I noticed her name tag said manager but she was very rude and her appearance was far from professional. We left and surprisingly all the other stores we visited had very pleasant associates.

We had the best experience here. Lots of options and kind people. They helped me out with choosing a hat based on the way I looked and was balanced. Plus my wife needed one and we returned after closing time and they opened the door and got her up for a Red Cowboy hat. Super cool.

This happens to be the first hat store you come to if you park by the Bird Cage, like I do. There employees in here leave a lot to be desired. My friends and I were hat shopping. "Don't touch the hats!" the ladies, yes, all lady employees, are in your face and provide more of a detriment to hat shopping then assistance. They would not "hold a hat for 30 minutes" when asked to. "It's against our policy." We should not have asked as the traffic in and out of the store, in fact, in the entire town, was not enough to cause us to worry about them holding a hat. We won't go back again. My friends and I were so frustrated by the incident, we went and spoke to the manager. She offered an explanation that included "good help is hard to find." Tombstone NEEDS to welcome the visitors instead of chase them away.

Bought a hat there in Feb 2018. Staff was very helpful and friendly.I'm sure they don't want everybody fondling all the hats trying to keep dirty finger prints from being transferred to the fabric.
