Redtail Hardgoods: Timeless with A Twist

By Stefan Doyno Published September 17, 2015

Let us introduce to you Redtail Hardgoods – a brand inspired by American grit.

Redtail Hardgoods creates handcrafted products straight out of Texas – and the brand dedicates itself to making sure these items are built to last.

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.

One key cast member is unlikely to return for the fourth season.

Myha'la in 'Industry'

After three seasons on HBO and Max, Industry has proven itself to be one of the most thrilling, unexpected success stories of the past few years. The show, which follows a group of young employees as they work their way up the rungs of an investment bank, has focused on the kinds of wild personalities required to sacrifice every scruple you have in the name of making money.

The show's third season ended with a major twist, as Pierpoint, the bank at the show's center, went under. Given that major twist, many are wondering what the show's fourth season might entail. Here's what we know about the show's fourth season so far:

Thunderbolts* first reactions praise Florence Pugh, suggest a dark, character-based movie

The reactions are a good sign for a struggling MCU.

The cast of Thunderbolts

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not as dominant as it once was, in part because the movies they've put out lately have not been received all that warmly by critics or audiences. The first reactions to Thunderbolts* suggest that it might be a step in the right direction. The reactions are overwhelmingly positive, and praised both the movie's darker tone and star Florence Pugh, in particular. Here's a rundown of what people are saying:

Film writer Emily Murray calls the movie one of the "best" MCU movies in some time. She added that it “has so much spark, charisma, and tells a genuinely emotional story you connect with. A tear was shed. Florence Pugh in particular superb, just walks away with it.”

The story of Jonestown has been infamous for almost 50 years.

Bill Hader in Barry.

If you watched Barry all the way through to its conclusion, you're likely aware that Bill Hader is a kind of dark guy. He's always talking about his fascination with serial killers and murderers, and now he's channeling that fascination into a project for HBO. Variety is reporting that Hader will co-write and potentially star in a new HBO series about the infamous Jonestown massacre.

Hader is co-writing the series with Daniel Zelman, and while it's still in development, the show could potentially be Hader's next star vehicle with HBO, where he also worked on Barry.
