Double Talk

Buffalo Bill Cody is remembered for being the best showman in the Wild West, but he had a storied life long before he took to dazzling American and European audiences for a living.

Where did September go?! This fall has been flying by and somehow we’re just days away from launching Nashville, so make sure you snag these must-haves before we turn the page on the Cody collection!

When it comes to the photo shoot for Cody, it’s hard to recall anything but the heat, because all our usual shenanigans were overshadowed by the performance from Pistol Packin’ Paula.

We’ve taken you down to Matagorda and up to Cody, and now we are headed east to the heart of Tennessee with a collection that’s full of sexiness, sass, and sparkle!

Along with our three decades in business, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of one of our most iconic pieces of all time. While our story really begins with the blanket coats, the Scout jacket feels like the main character.

Our longtime makeup artist Lisa Martensen worked her magic to turn our picture-perfect models into rough and tumble cowgirls and transport us all back to the Wild West.

The Cody collection has a frontier feel to it, that rugged-yet-romantic Wild West vibe, so we accessorized it a little differently than we would, say, an ultra-glam collection like Baron’s Ball.

In the little South Texas town of Blanco, there is a gem of a place called the Buggy Barn Museum, and its conjoining Pine Moore Town. This is where we brought Cody to life.

When Jack was little, he called them “rememories”, and it stuck. And that adventurous trip to Cody, Wyoming for the Wild West Show & Auction -- the one that inspired this collection -- is still one of our favorites.

Turns out, socks are trending these days. How about that? We’ve gotta say, we were ahead of the game on this one – we’ve been crushing it in the sock game for years -- but we’re happy to welcome everyone else on this bandwagon.

American folk art is a strong source of inspiration for the aesthetic of Double D Ranch. And it has been since the beginning. So, when it came time to reimagine significant pieces for our 30th anniversary, the Tobacco Salesman was on that list.

The conditions were decent, the wages were good, and above all, women were center stage. In terms of equality, Wild West shows were lightyears ahead of their time.
