In 1957, Weldon Burgoon opened Weldon's Saddle Shop in downtown Denton on a simple promise: Buy From a Real Cowboy. A PRCA rodeo hand and longtime rodeo chairman, he made saddles, belts, and wallets by hand and outfitted North Texas for sixty years.

He handcrafted his grandson Clint's first saddle in that building. Clint works the same shop today, a third-generation leather craftsman carrying Weldon's bench into Wilkinson's Fine Goods. Made by hand in Denton, and the brands we carry we choose the way Weldon chose his: by quality, by craft, and by hand.
