This season, sumptuous options for men’s apparel caught our eye. Ranging from classic southwestern influences to international and innovative fits—we suggest that it’s time to come in off the ranch and head to the saloon wearing one of these fine ensembles. Western fashion, inspired by the cowboys and frontiers of yore, is having a moment that allows for a little bit more of an expressive touch in menswear. Think turquoise accents and expressive hats. Check out what New Mexico stores have to offer.

W Department
Originally an art gallery, Webster Collection has defied categorization since it opened its doors in 1972. Ancient ethnographic works from the Americas sit happily alongside thought-provoking contemporary art from around the world. Now, they’ve expanded with W Department, a luxury apparel boutique that focuses on bold designs from established designers like Rick Owens (shown here), names to watch—like Nicholas Daley and Second/Layer—as well as designers putting sustainability at the forefront with upcycled creations, like Swampgod.
O’Farrell Hat Company
It’s hard to imagine anything finer than a custom-made hat from the second-generation hatmakers of O’Farrell Hat Company. Add a Roger W hat band to it, and you may have found the answer. The bands are masterfully created with channel inlay—a process where negative space is generated in metal and filled aesthetically with gemstones—like this piece featuring spiny, oyster-shell square-conchos set in sterling silver.
High Noon General Store
The Fenceline Shirt Jacket from Iron & Resin unites the best of a tailored shirt with everything you would want in a lightweight jacket. A tailored fit, two front pockets, heavy-duty snaps, and a reinforced Western style. Made from hard-wearing duck canvas.
Peyote Bird
Founded five decades ago, Peyote Bird tempts with handcrafted, artisan jewelry—both contemporary and vintage— that is inspired by the American Southwest. There is a timeless quality to the pieces in their collection. Like the Dennis Hogan naja necklace, made of sterling silver with a diamond sitting elegantly in the center. It’s a piece that can be worn on its own or with a companion piece like a gorgeous turquoise necklace.
John Rippel
Named because the tip resembles a bishop’s mitre, the Bishop’s belt buckle from John Rippel exudes authority. It’s solid and substantial—made of sterling silver with hand-chased detail on the buckle, keeper, and tip. Just the thing to pair with one of John Rippel’s one inch, exotic leather belt straps.
