High Plains’ Hippo leather is a direct representation of the topography and soil condition of the Texas High Plains region – scarred, rough, and beautifully barren. Overwhelmed by desert hues and Old-World techniques, this horseman appeals to a New-World style. The Hippo leather has been hand-matched, hand-cut, and hand-lasted by our tried-and-true Lucchese artisans creating a one-of-a-kind style. A 6-row Saltillo stitch pattern perfectly traces the contours between vamp and quarter for a cohesive expression of Lucchese artisanship. From stitching to scarring, everything about this horseman tells a story. Handmade in Texas.
