This is one of my favorite western shirts. It’s a vintage made right here in the USA. Virtually all western apparel was manufactured in this great country up until the last 50-60 years.. Before companies turned their backs on cowboys and cowgirls and decided to manufacture everything abroad to increase profit for shareholders while concentrating 100% of their marketing efforts to diverse, equitable and inclusive nonsense.
You as a consumer have control over where you purchase your clothing. The biggest argument I hear is that American made anything costs more but it has been my experience that with clothing it also lasts longer because it’s built better. My grandfather didn’t wear anything that wasn’t American made! In my opinion clothing is part of a uniform.. jeans, hat, boots etc. are all tools of the trade, purchase accordingly.

In the dusty sunset glow, a cowboy rides the range,
His wife beside him, hearts entwined, an unbreakable exchange.
They rope the dreams that roam the prairie wide,
Cattle whispers, windswept tales, on this rugged ride.
Through hardships stitched in leather and the lonesome cattle calls,
They dance with dust devils, as dusk gently falls.
Her eyes reflect the starlit sky, a partner in the scheme,
As they brand their love on hooves that roam, a frontier team.
Together they weather storms, like thunderheads collide,
Yet their love, like prairie grass, forever will abide.
The ranch, their canvas, painted with sweat and grit,
They carve a legacy, in the wild, where dreams are knit.
In moonlit nights, ’neath endless skies, they find their solace true,
Cattle ranching symphony, played with a spirit anew.
Through trials faced in leather boots, and sunsets touched with gold,
A cowboy and his wife embrace a life, a story to be told.

In the heart of America, small family ranches are facing a stark decline for many reasons. One of which is that red meat and ranching have unfairly faced criticism amidst climate change debates. However, the truth is, sustainable ranching practices play a pivotal role in ecosystem health. By supporting responsible ranchers who prioritize eco-friendly methods, YOU have the power to drive positive change. Join the movement to preserve these vital ecosystems by supporting local agriculture, advocating for fair policies, and celebrating the legacy of family-owned ranches. Together, let’s sow the seeds for a thriving future for our rural communities.

In the fading twilight, ’neath the western sky,
A weathered cowboy sits, with a heartfelt sigh.
Lines etched deep on his face, tales they tell,
Of dusty trails ridden, through heaven and hell.
His eyes, once like stars, shining bright,
Now hold stories, gleaming in the fading light.
A hat worn and battered, its brim turned low,
Shadows memories of places he used to know.
The rhythm of hooves, a melody in his mind,
Recalls the freedom of days left behind.
A lonesome whistle echoes, a train far away,
Carrying echoes of a youth in its sway.
With each step slower, each wrinkle earned,
The old cowboy’s wisdom, from lessons learned.
A heart of gold, a spirit unbroken,
A life well lived, each word unspoken.
His soul roams the ranges of yesteryears,
Amidst dusty plains and unbridled frontiers.
Though time may weather and moments wane,
The cowboy’s spirit forever shall remain.

Unsheathing the past! Neck knives have a fascinating legacy rooted in ancient civilizations, where they served as essential tools for survival and daily tasks. These compact blades were often worn around the neck for easy access and security.
Throughout history, various cultures adopted neck knives for hunting, self-defense, and even ceremonial purposes. From the Roman ‘Pugio’ to the Inuit ‘Ulu,’ these blades took diverse forms, reflecting the unique needs and craftsmanship of each society.
In modern times, neck knives have transcended their practical origins, becoming a symbol of preparedness and style. Their sleek design and convenient carry make them a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and everyday individuals seeking a blend of functionality and fashion.
This post celebrates the enduring legacy of neck knives, honoring their historical significance while embracing their contemporary relevance. This particular piece was handcrafted in Colorado by and was inspired by the Crow tribe. It is an honor to add this piece to my arsenal.🗡️

Very seldom is making the right choice the easy choice. Raising livestock is difficult because of the love we have for the animals. However, if we are going to eat beef we are going to make sure the animal making the sacrifice lived it’s best life.
