You can find everything “cowboy” in about a two-square-mile area in historic Stockyards City in south Oklahoma City. The area is home to more than century-old architecture, cattle auctions and famous steakhouses.
In the heart of it all is Shorty’s Caboy Hattery, which has been owned and operated for the past 31 years by Lavonna “Shorty” Koger.
A small cowbell rings as customers, or friends as Shorty calls them, walk through the front door of the Hattery. Sunlight coming in through barred windows adds another layer of warmth to the welcomes from the staff. Colorful western hats and memorabilia from the past 30 years cover the walls of the large, open showroom. In the middle is an island where Shorty’s hatters fit, reshape, customize and clean western hats.
