One of our favourite parts about running The Coolector is coming across new menswear brands that have, hitherto, flown under our radar and the latest to fall into this bracket is a brand by the name of Richter Goods. Operating out of San Antonio, Richter Goods embodies the independent spirit of their hometown’s earliest settlers.

Particular emphasis is placed upon manufacturing with purposively selected fabrics from heritage mills which are then passed onto their 10 master seamstresses who assemble each piece by hand from designs informed by the landscape of south-central Texas with subtle nods to the lore of the west: pearl snaps, chevron flap pockets, and the occasional arcuate yoke. What’s not to like? Check out our pick of 8 of the most essential menswear pieces from Richter Goods below:

Terlingua Trucker Jacket

The Terlingua Trucker Jacket from Richter Goods is a classic piece that will never go out of style. Made from 10 oz. heavy-duty twill, it is both durable and stylish. The jacket features two front western yokes and double front pockets, as well as hand-forged rivets that give it a touch of character. The modern, cropped fit is perfect for layering, and the jacket is chain-stitched using a 1927 Singer sewing machine for quality construction.
