Maverick Style: Inspired by the West

Launching at Ranch at the Rim

I have some exciting news to share! Stetson is launching it's first ever buckle and belt collection, just in time for the holidays! The launch will take place at a trunk show at the Ranch at the Rim store in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, December 17th, from 5 - 7 PM.

Stetson's new line of buckles features three exclusive limited edition "Craftsman Alliance" buckles designed by esteemed artists Scott Hardy, Shane Hendren, and Zan & Patience Traughber. Stetson's Creative Director, TJ McCoy will be attending the Ranch at the Rim trunk show on Saturday to induct the three buckle artists into the second annual Stetson Craftsman Alliance Program. Stetson launched this program, whose mission is to recognize excellence in all art and craftsmanship disciplines, at last year's "Women Who Design the West" event in Cody, WY. All three artists are attending Saturday's event, and will receive a Stetson hat and a certificate of induction into the program.

Stetson's new buckle and belt collection is comprised of three sub-collections. The first sub-collection includes the premium "Craftman's Alliance" Buckle Collection, which is featured below. The belt buckle on the left was designed by Scott Hardy ($2,600). The belt buckle in the middle was designed by Shane Hendren ($1,799), and the belt buckle on the right was designed by Zan & Patience Traughber ($2,100).  These three premium belt buckles are sold with a belt strap. As a huge turquoise fan, I am loving the Shane Hendren buckle! The second sub-collection contains limited edition buckles by the artists that are inspired by the designs in the exclsuive "Craftsman Alliance" collection. These buckles retail for $150 each (without a belt strap). The two buckle collections will be available for purchase for the first time at Ranch at the Rim on Saturday!

Stetson's third sub-collection is a men's belt collection featuring a variety of hand-tooled leather belts with silver plated buckles and hardware. The leathers match those used in Stetson boots, and the belts retail for $40 - $80. The Stetson belt collection will be available for sale by the end of the month at Sheplers.
