§ The Chapter
Cedar, limestone, and a brand that's worked Hill Country since before the railroad got here.
Bandera Stockmen is the oldest continuously-operated outfit in the Collective — six generations on the same Texas Hill Country ground since 1872. The brand predates the railroad. The fence lines predate the highway.
Heat, cedar, and limestone shape the apparel chapter: lightweight cottons, oiled cotton dusters built for thunderstorms, and bench-made boots from a sixth-generation San Antonio maker the Kincaids have used since the 1920s.
§ The Storefront
From the Bandera place.
Every garment traceable to this operation. Cooperative economics: proceeds route back to the ranch.
