Best Western Wear Brands Based in Nashville, TN

Nashville is one of the few cities in America where western wear is not a trend. It is a way of life that has been here for generations, running underneath the music industry and the tourism boom. The brands worth knowing are the ones that came up through that culture, not the ones that arrived after it got popular.

Nashville's western wear scene is built on authentic culture and heritage, not fleeting trends.

Here is a look at the western wear scene in Nashville and what to know about each part of it.

Steel & Saddle Co.

Steel & Saddle Co. is a Nashville-born western wear and outfitters brand built around one idea: the people who actually live the western lifestyle deserve gear that is built for them.

The brand carries a full range of cowboy hats in 5X wool felt, Bangora straw, and shantung straw, along with an extensive Hat Bar accessories selection including:

  • Hat bands in leather, beaded, horsehair, and bone
  • Natural feathers
  • Hat pins
  • Bolo ties
  • Scarf slides

The apparel line includes western graphic tees, heavyweight hoodies, outerwear, pearl snaps, and accessories built with the same gritty DNA as the hat program.

Walk in with a style in mind, get a hat steamed and shaped to your head, and finish it with hand-selected accessories so no two hats leave the same.

What sets Steel & Saddle apart is the Hat Bar experience: walk in with a style in mind, get a hat steamed and shaped to your head, and finish it with hand-selected accessories so no two hats leave the same. It is the most authentic hat customization experience in Nashville.
