But when it comes to accesories in the clothing field, you'd be hard put to find a city with more diversity. Shops that cater to what goes with what you put on your bod are widespread. Ten shops were scrutinized and interviewed as to what they considered unique about themselves. The General Store, 757 S. State, considers itself a unique store. It carries imported,' hand-carved pipes-approximately $30. Smoking Smok-ing accessories are very big, including inclu-ding hookahs. "The biggest selection of patches in town," according to one, can be found in the General Store. Handmade peacocks, roses and ecology signs are included. Located at 201 S. 13th E., Transition, Transi-tion, Inc., will stock you with your very own buffalo shirt ($90) or goatskin shirt ($80), available from the west coast only when a buffalo or goat becomes fatally ill. Eleven to eighteen dollars will buy a genuine tooled belt, in a variety of designs. Hand-stitched leather shirts may also capture your fancy. Pantology, 2118 13th E., considers consi-ders its difference arising from ecology games-including Dirty Water, Population and Smog. For other fresh air freaks, Pantology carries experimental kits including, includ-ing, "Can I breathe the air?" or "Can I drink the water?"

New-looking, simple, classic and "really clean" describe the accessories. acces-sories. "Smart-looking hats" are in stock. But "very few accessories" is the guideline at the Village Ltd. At 484 W. Center in Provo, and 1376 Foothill Village, stands Stars and Bars. A boutique, Mother's Cupboard contains arty items like framed beans and noodles designs. These are made by the management manage-ment Primarily a clothing shop, the made-of-cotton leather look is very big. Pant-Tree, Inc., 34 S. Main, stocks a lot of leather accessories such as shaving kits, leather-covered decanters de-canters and shot glasses. The gift line includes clocks and multicolored multi-colored umbrellas. The Brass Buckle, 4674 Holladay Blvd., claims a line of belts.
