You can now grab a Desert Chore Coat at Brass Tacks Provisions in Oklahoma City. Awesome store run by awesome people, bringing in great brands and products - mostly all American made. Even though it hasn’t amounted to much in terms of dollars yet, it’s so rewarding to see something we designed, sourced all the materials, made from scratch in Phoenix, being sold in a beautiful retail store like this. Thankful to everyone’s that’s ordered one, and can’t wait to make more next year and keep making them better.

Potentially the last chore coat you’ll ever need

Definitely I do! What kind of products?

You can get plenty of $40-60 pearl snap shirts. I would say that’s pretty cheap. For a woven shirt. The hard cost to make ours is more than that 😄

The western wear industry is a complex space filled with dichotomies. It seems like to many, not all, but many consumers in it - something being “cheap”, is considered to be more “true cowboy”. I get comments and replies often that simply because our shirts are expensive (relative to many shirts in the space), it’s not for a real cowboys, it’s fake, people tell me no one will ever wear it, etc. It’s a weird dichotomy. I could make our shirt in China - 100% in China - sell it for $60 with a better margin, make more money, and it would be more widely accepted as authentic. For real cowboys. My company would probably be 10x the size it is today. And I’d have a significantly better chance of getting into the big western retailers like Boot Barn. It sucks 😆 But we fight on

Hell yeah

The other day, a guy was looking at our corduroy shirts here in Phoenix. We have it in two colors - navy and brown. He liked the navy - but said something along the lines of “ah yeah I have to go with the brown, I wear a lot of blue jeans”. Basically saying, he doesn’t think you’re supposed to wear a blue shirt with blue jeans or pants. And it’s simply not true. Yeah I wouldn’t wear the exact same matching blue top and bottom (nor would I do that with any color). But as long as they are a different texture and tone, you absolutely can. And it looks great. Wearing a navy denim shirt or cord shirt with blue jeans or pants is one of my favorite combos. And knowing a lot dudes think they can’t, there’s something about it that feels slightly edgy too.. like your breaking some stupid unwritten rule. Throw a white tank under to add a little pop. TRY IT *** this is Andrew Cruz, a photographer / stylist in Nashville rocking the navy cord shirt (with blue pants)
