Durango, Colorado
We carry the makers who measured their first cut a century ago and still measure it the same way today. Hyer in 1875, Stetson in 1865, Lucchese in 1883, Serratelli in 1878. Nothing leaves the door without a name on it.
Four houses, four founding dates, the same standard kept on the bench for a hundred and fifty years.
Hyer crafted the first true cowboy boot in Olathe, Kansas, built for riders on long cattle drives. For nearly 150 years, Hyer has remained a symbol of authenticity, defined by rugged construction, master stitching, and silhouettes that shaped the identity of Western footwear itself.
Stetson was born from the spirit of the West and grew to become an American icon. John B. Stetson’s friendly gesture toward a wayward traveler on the new frontier gave birth to the world’s first cowboy hat. Ever since, Stetson has crafted hats using much of the same techniques as John B. did so many years ago.
Lucchese brought European shoemaking precision to Texas, elevating the cowboy boot from a necessity to a work of art. Hand-lasted construction, premium leathers, and meticulous detailing built a standard of excellence that continues today, synonymous with refined Western luxury.
Serratelli’s story began in 1878, when Pio Serratelli came from Italy with a time-tested process for crafting top-quality fur felts. With his son he founded P. Serratelli’s Sons, and today the Serratelli family continues that legacy, using only the finest materials in the trade.
The shop sits on Main Avenue in historic downtown Durango. Walk in, take your time, and find the boot or hat that fits.
