About Lucchese Bootmaker
Lucchese Bootmaker is a renowned American company specializing in the design and production of luxury cowboy boots and Western apparel. Established in 1883 by Salvatore "Sam" Lucchese and his brothers in San Antonio, Texas, the company boasts a rich heritage of craftsmanship and quality.
Over the years, Lucchese has expanded its product line to include a diverse range of footwear, apparel, and accessories. Their offerings cater to both men and women who appreciate the Western lifestyle.
The brand is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and commitment to traditional boot-making techniques. Each pair undergoes a handcrafted process, with artisans sewing the boot's long shafts (uppers) by hand and fitting them with brass and lemonwood pegs.
This pegging process ensures a comfortable fit and allows the boots to be resoled after wear or age. Each pair is touched by 180 to 200 hands before completion, reflecting the dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
In addition to boots, Lucchese offers a wide selection of Western-inspired products:
- All-weather boots
 - Shoes
 - Apparel and belts
 - Cowboy hats and accessories
 - Small leather goods and travel items
 - Home goods such as blankets, candles, and decorative objects
 
These items allow customers to embrace the Western aesthetic in various aspects of their lives.
The company has a storied history serving a distinguished clientele, including U.S. Presidents, celebrities, and country music stars. Notable patrons include President Lyndon B. Johnson, Bing Crosby, and James Garner.
In recent years, Lucchese has collaborated with artists like Chris Stapleton and Parker McCollum to create exclusive boot collections, further solidifying its presence in the Western fashion industry.
