Spurs & Straps

Spurs and Straps With Some Character

There is more to a good pair of spurs than putting them on your boots. The straps hold them in place, and they're also one of the places where a cowboy could show a little personality.

Our leather spur straps come in a good variety of styles. You'll find floral patterns, basket weave, border stamping, spots, and different colors of leather. Some are fairly plain, while others have a little more decoration. Our Border Stamped Spur Straps, for example, are made from bridle leather with hand-painted dark edges and nickel-plated hardware. They're hand-crafted in the USA.

The spurs have their own character. Our Old Timer and Ramrod styles are made for River Junction in the old style, with steel shaped to fit the boot. Some have drop shanks, chap guards, jingle bobs, or large rowels. They're made to our specifications rather than being sold as antique spurs.

Every now and then an old or used pair comes our way, too. Those are a different matter, and we'll tell you what we know about them.
