Keith Dugger, the company’s founder and CEO, grew up in Texas. The leader of the small company had always been a collector of old items – but never knew exactly what attracted him to them.

Dugger’s obsession with legacy pieces, or items that stood the test of time, helped inspire the company he now runs – featuring durable, timeless goods with a modern twist. For instance, Redtail Hardgoods creates handsome handcrafted belts that are completely customizable.

Customers can choose the color of the rawhide, the shape and metal of the buckle, even brass, copper, or steel rivets. The materials used are all top-notch and will stand the test of time.

One of our favorite, quirkier items mixes convenience with that true American grit we were talking about earlier.

Mason Jars are iconic when it comes to American-made products. Whether you’re drinking lemonade, iced tea, or moonshine out of ‘em – one thing’s for sure – you’re going to enjoy it more with The Mug Holster.

The body of the product is made from vegetable tanned leather and branded with the Redtail logo. The leather will darken with age and use, and will develop a patina, making the product unique only to you. Apparently, leather will not only protect your hands from hot drinks, but will also act as a great insulator. Who knew?

The handle of the Mug Holster is also crafted from reclaimed horseshoe.

Check out some of the other unique products over at Redtail Hardgood’s official website.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained
George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow
Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
