A Kansas City Costume Shop Like No Other
August 2, 2019 | John G. McGrath, Jacob Douglas | 1 min read
Kansas City, Kansas, couple Jerry and Linda Vest own a local business that’s certainly like no other. Their shop, Have Guns Costumes and Props — a nod to the old American Western series “Have Gun — Will Travel” — has much more than prop guns and old-fashioned garb.
Film and stage producers from Kansas City and beyond call on Jerry for anything from rubber wrenches to suits of medieval armor. Watch as Flatland’s team of reporters take a tour of what has to be one of the quirkiest corners of KC.
