The Story Behind This Print
WESTERN PRINT STORY

Bear Paw Trail

The Bear Paw is one of the most beloved quilt patterns of the 19th-century Midwest. According to oral tradition, Bear Paw quilts were said to have been hung as trail markers along the Underground Railroad, guiding freedom seekers to safe houses. Whether folklore or fact, the pattern carries the weight of hope. Our print reimagines the Bear Paw as natural animal tracks on a forest trail — paw prints, pine trees, compass roses, and wildflowers on deep indigo denim.
“"They said these paws pointed the way to freedom. Whether or not they did, someone found it."”

Super flattering cut—I’m 5'7", size 26, and they sit just right on my waist. Love the subtle cactus motif along the hem, though the belt loops are a bit stiff at first.

Cute print and great for festivals, but I ordered a 29 and had to return—they were way too tight in the hips even though the waist fit fine. Shipping took 11 days.

So cute with my cowboy boots at the Nashville rodeo!

Isabella L.

Wore them to a honky-tonk in Nashville—danced all night, zero discomfort. The denim’s broken in just enough, and the rust-and-cream paisley print? Chef’s kiss.

So cute

Autumn F.

These shorts made my trip to Santa Fe unforgettable—paired them with turquoise jewelry and a suede fringe top. The print has that real Southwest soul.

The burnt orange and navy Western print looks even better in person! Wore them to a backyard BBQ in Denver—held up all day, no fraying.

K
Kennedy O.

Wore these to brunch in Charleston—paired them with a white tank and sunhat. The denim is sturdy but soft, and the red-and-cream bandana print feels so authentic.

These shorts are adorable—the turquoise and rust print pops at Coachella, but I wish they ran a little bigger in the waist.

R
Riley M.

Perfect for a summer concert in Chicago—lightweight denim, fun stitching detail on the hem. Only downside: the back pockets don’t hold my phone securely.

H
Harper M.

Obsessed with the vintage Western embroidery on the pockets! They fit true to size for me (27), though the inseam’s shorter than expected—perfect for my 5'4" frame.

Wore them to the Texas State Fair last weekend—got asked twice where I got them! The turquoise threadwork against faded blue denim is stunning.

Wore them to a rooftop bar in Austin—got three compliments before my first margarita. The floral-cactus print is so fresh.
