When country music and craftsmanship collide, you can be sure that something special will happen. Iconic bootmaker Lucchese and Chris Stapleton are back for round two of their celebrated collaboration, unveiling Volume II, a collection that blends Lucchese’s 140-year heritage with Stapleton’s soulful, laid-back style. The partnership continues to honor both artistry and authenticity, bringing together two creative forces that value timeless design over fleeting trends. This latest release builds on their first collection, expanding with fresh silhouettes, upgraded materials, and that same sense of rugged sophistication.

Lucchese and Chris Stapleton combine music with craftsmanship

Volume II introduces six new handmade boot styles and a Western-inspired shirt, each designed to reflect Stapleton’s down-to-earth aesthetic and Lucchese’s mastery of leatherwork. The standout piece, “The Original Exotic,” features an American alligator vamp paired with royal calf leather quarters, resulting in a striking yet understated finish. For those seeking something more approachable, the “Old Friend” model delivers everyday versatility while maintaining the same attention to detail. Other highlights, like the “San Antonio” boot, celebrate Lucchese’s factory roots with hand-cording and high-gloss finishes.

Every boot is handcrafted in Texas using traditional techniques that ensure comfort, durability, and individuality—no two pairs are exactly alike. Retail prices range from $695 for the more accessible models to $3,995 for the premium exotics. Rounding out the collection is a tailored Western shirt inspired by Stapleton’s own on-stage wardrobe. A portion of the proceeds supports his charity, Outlaw State of Kind, giving this release both purpose and heart. The Lucchese x Chris Stapleton Volume II collection is available now through Lucchese’s website and select stores nationwide.

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build.
