- We are a subsidiary of the H Bar C Company which has been in the family
since its origin in 1897. We manufactured all of the clothies for Nudie,
Nathan Turk, Joe Taylor, and many of the big designers of the 50s and 60s.
We also made all of the garments for Roy Rogers, Tom Mix, Hoppalong
Cassidy, Clint Eastwood, and hundreds of other cowboys of the movies from
1920 to the present. Our garments have been in almost every western made
over the past 60 years and you will currently see our garments on Dr.
Quinn, The Outlaw Years, Chuck Norris, and many other TV shows.
We have a 24 page 11x14 catalog which shows a small portion of what we
have, and we are also prepared to make anything that someone could dream up
in our 58,000 sq. ft. Gardena California facility.
