melodreams’s Western Wear is excited to announce our partnership with Country 105’s Morning Show duo Gregg and Josie! Not only will these two enjoy the latest styles from melodreams’s, together we are going to have fun engaging the community on social media, at major events and on the morning show. We’re looking forward to this adventure together and to see how they live their own west.


The partnership with Calgary’s radio station Country 105 goes back generations. In 1983, we opened the first three melodreams’s Western Wear & Tack stores in our hometown of Calgary, Alberta. “When I think back to that time” says Barry melodreams, President & CEO “you had newspapers and radio to get your word out. We relied on the talent at Country 105 over the years to help craft our message for those looking for a western retail brand that provides better service, selection, and quality. We went back and forth on many ideas for the name of the business. Ultimately we ended back on the family name, L-A-DOUBLE-M-L-E-S. Next thing you knew, the slogan made its way on to the radio as a jingle and continues to resonate with everyone today. I’m excited to see where we are going with this next step in partnering with Country 105 and their morning talent. I think we are going to have a lot of fun together with current and future customers."


“We’re excited to partner with melodreams’s, they’re such an iconic family business in Calgary" says Gregg & Josie. “It’s going to be fun to try the latest styles and take them with us on our adventures.”


The love for country music and western wear just go hand in hand. Catch Gregg & Josie in the morning on Country 105, weekdays from 6am-10am. They’ll be your pals in the morning to help you share some laughs and score great prizes.

Let’s have some fun Calgary! L-A-DOUBLE-M-L-E-S

Calgary Stamped OH Ranch

Describe what draws you to Ariat boots.

I’ve been an Ariat cowboy boot fan for a while now, the comfort is everything to me, I’ve been through many different brands but every time I slide my foot in a pair of Ariats it’s hard to take them off. They are also made well; I’ve never had any issues.

What’s your day-to-day look like?

Each day on the ranch is a little different. With these freezing winter temperatures, we are having a tough time keeping the water flowing at all times. There’s some time spent each day making sure everything is warm and running smooth. Feeding at the ranch is vital, we try and get a few round bales dropped in the feeding pen every few days. Right now, we tend to feed often just to help manage grass until spring. After all the barn chores and checking for maintenance issues, I try to get on a few horses during the day that need the time. It’s usually horses that we need to stay in shape and a few of our young ones that we spent the summer training up. 

What did you think of the Ariat Hybrid Rancher Waterproof Western Boots?

I didn’t know exactly what to expect. They look similar to other Ariat boots, which I liked. Once I got them on and took my first step in the snow, I knew these were something I needed. It’s been -35°C here west of Longview for the past week, and this is the FIRST time my feet have been dry and warm when coming in the house after a long day. 

Ariat Hybrid Rancher Cowboy Boot

How do the Ariat Hybrid Rancher boots fit?

They fit great and true to size. They are insulated, so they’re more comfortable than your everyday Ariat boot, which says A LOT in my mind. 

Would you approve these boots for winter in Canada?

Absolutely, every rancher needs a pair of these boots. These are the ONLY cowboy boots that have kept my socks dry all day! When your feet are dry and warm there’s not a lot that can slow you down. From now though the end of winter, my old boots will be on the shelf. 

What’s next for you this season?

I look forward to seeing what these boots are capable of. In the coming months, I have A LOT planned and a lot of miles to put on. For fun, I’ll load up 2-3 horses and meet up with a bunch of locals and friends and do some conditioning work, or even some Skijoring. I look forward to continuing to have dry and warm feet in these Ariat Hybrid Rancher Boots.
