2012 Western Coat in "Saddle Mountain" by Gretel Underwood Handweaving

2012 Western Coat in "Saddle Mountain"

Some of our best selling styles were the Western Coat in the color Saddle Mountain and the Coach Jacket in the color Sugar King. The coat is our traditional western coat cut with a new larger, cozier collar. The colors are warm leather tones with dashes of soft greens and cayennes. The Coach Jacket and the Long Coach Jacket are clean, contemporary, fitted styles with high collars. Sugar King is a warm palomino color with denim and desert toned accents.

As always, it was great seeing return customers in Denver. Some stores continuing to carry our work include The Colorado Home Collection in Estes Park, Colorado, Rawhide in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Leddy’s Ranch in Ft. Worth, Texas.

Across the US, we’re excited to announce the following new retailers: Burns Cowboy Shop in Park City, Utah and Carmel, California, Ranch House Dry Goods and Buckaroo Blankets in Llano,Texas, Mr. Boot’s in San Angelo, Texas, Aiken Dry Goods in Aiken, South Carolina. Internationally you’ll soon be able to find our handwoven, southwestern clothing at the Boutique Le Gardian in Les-Stes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France, and American West Trading Company in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan. And lastly, we would be remiss to not mention our new store here at home in Santa Fe, Cowboys and Indians, right on the downtown Plaza.
