The Montana Territory buckles and bolos are timeless symbols of the American West. 

The bolo tie traces its roots to the rugged landscapes of the West in the early 20th century, where vaqueros and frontiersmen fashioned neckwear from leather cords and silver conchos. Legend says that the first bolo tie was created when a silversmith, afraid of losing his sliver trimmed hat band while riding, placed it around his neck.  From that moment, an iconic element of western dress was born. Today the bolo endures not merely as an accessory, but as a quiet badge of Western identity.  Worn by ranchers, musicians, and statesmen alike, it endures as a symbol of independence and heritage, a simple cord that carries the echo of saddle creaks, open skies, and the enduring pride of the American West.

Western belt buckles are a traditional symbol of American heritage and cowboy culture.  Born out of function, the western buckle has evolved to embody a narrative for personal expression told through intricate motifs and details.  Each carving offering a glimpse into the history, story, and ever present allure of the heritage and spirit of the West.  The most sought after versions of the traditional western belt buckle are those still handcrafted one at a time by traditional artisans.
