CHANNELING THE CHISHOLM TRAIL

As Texans and as trailblazers, the Chisholm Trail feels like a part of us.

While we can’t prove it on paper, our ancestor Walker Riddle likely drove his cattle up along the Chisholm Trail from South Texas to the rails, so in a way we feel like descendants of the trail. It’s entwined in our history and woven in our roots, and we drew on that feeling of connection in concepting this collection; it’s an allusion to the era, to the drovers and the days of old.

The colors are grounded, earthy saddle browns brightened up with worn indigo blues, and the aesthetic is that of working cowboys and cattle drivers, with an emphasis on denim and vintage bandana and ticking-inspired prints. It plays with exaggerated eyelets, indigo and ivory color combinations, and utilitarian fabrics. The overarching theme, Wide Open Trails, is partly an homage to the past and the pioneers who paved the paths before us, and partly a celebration of renegades and risk-takers blazing our own.
