Sell to Us · Western Wear

Sell western wear to a shop that lives and breathes it.

Western wear is the soul of Old 44 Vintage, and it is the category where our buying is most aggressive. Chain-stitched shirts, trophy buckles, broken-in boots, gabardine jackets from the dance hall era: these are the pieces our customers ask for by name, which means we can pay properly for them.

Southern California has deeper western roots than people remember. Rancho country, rodeo circuits, the western tailors who dressed Hollywood: their work is still hanging in closets from Norco to San Juan Capistrano, and it is exactly what we drive out for.

Western pieces we buy

Embroidered and chain-stitch shirts

Rodeo tailors, H Bar C, Nudie-style work, and smile-pocket gabardines.

Boots

Vintage cowboy boots in wearable sizes, exotic leathers, and early California makers.

Buckles and silver

Trophy buckles, ranger sets, and sterling work, engraved or won.

Jackets and suits

Western suits, fringe and suede, Rockmount and regional labels.

Ranch and rodeo gear

Show clothing, chaps, hats with honest wear, and tack room finds.

From rancho country to the rodeo grounds

We sit in the middle of it: San Juan Capistrano is a riding town, Norco calls itself Horsetown USA, and half of inland Orange County was ranch land within living memory. The estates we visit out here still hold trophy buckles from circuit rodeos, boots made when boot makers signed their work, and shirts from western tailors long gone. If the family rode, roped, or danced western, we want to see the closet.

A Recent Find

A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions

Are worn boots worth selling?

Usually, yes. Honest wear is fine and even desirable; collectors resole good boots without blinking. What matters is the maker, the leather, and the era.

What makes a western shirt valuable?

Age, tailoring, and embroidery. Chain-stitched smile pockets, sawtooth flaps, and gabardine fabric point to the good decades. A shirt made for a particular performer or rodeo rider is a different conversation entirely.

Do you buy saddles and tack?

Selectively: parade saddles, silver-mounted pieces, and early California saddlery yes; modern utility tack generally no. Send a photo and we will be straight with you.
