Honest Goods, True to the West
BELL & OAK
Bell & Oak was born from a working saddle shop in Texas and built on the belief that leather goods should be simple, durable, and true to their roots. Each piece reflects the grit of everyday life, carrying forward a tradition of American craftsmanship meant to be used, worn in, and passed along. By C.W. Wilkinson.
A Message From Clint,
In 2013 I created the Bell & Oak brand to pay homage to my grandfathers business Weldon’s Saddle Shop, which opened in 1957 on the corner of Bell & Oak street in Denton, Texas. In 2016 I took a break from Bell & Oak to establish myself as a fine leather craftsman, making intricate hand tooled and exotic western goods.
While the Clint Wilkinson label will be actively focused on making some of the finest western inspired hand tooled and exotic goods in the market, I feel it’s the right time to revive Bell & Oak. All the while using the same quality leathers we’re known for and durable craftsmanship that was passed down to me.
Gratefully,
Clint Wilkinson
