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.

Now, we've got our first teaser for the new show, and it's just as baffling as you might expect. In the teaser, we see a woman licking every donut in a box of donuts, as well as a sign that says "Help yourself" along with a smiley face. The teaser is just 30 seconds long, and we don't see Seehorn or have any context for what the show is about.
