These authentic 1950s Tex Tan of Yoakum cowgirl boots, crafted in a women’s size 9, stand as a testament to mid-century American craftsmanship rooted in the heart of Texas. Constructed from durable brown leather, the boots showcase intricate white stitching in classic cowboy patterns, a hallmark of the era’s Western design. The worn leather soles and stacked heels reflect years of use, bearing the marks of a time when ranching and rodeo life defined the cultural landscape. Inside, the original “Texan of Yoakum” labels pay homage to their maker, a company founded in 1919 by Philip Welhausen in Yoakum, Texas, initially as the Texas Hide and Leather Company. Evolving from a tannery into a premier leather goods manufacturer, Tex Tan gained prominence during the 1930s and 1940s, producing saddles, belts, and boots that supported the region’s cowboy tradition. By the 1950s, the brand had become synonymous with quality, catering to the growing demand for Western attire. These boots, with their weathered patina, offer a tangible connection to that legacy, ideal for collectors or those valuing historical footwear.
