Show notes

This week on the Like A Farmer Podcast, Pat sits down with Tecovas design team member Collin Clough for a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how the fastest-growing brand in western wear brings its iconic boots to life. Collin breaks down how Tecovas stays rooted in true Western DNA, the creative process inside their footwear design studio, and what goes into crafting boots from some of the wildest materials in the game — python, ostrich, bison… and even stingray? They dive into Tecovas’ biggest collaborations, from Mossy Oak to the viral Chili’s collab, and tease a few dream collabs they haven’t announced yet. Plus, Collin reveals the early work being done on a brand-new 4th of July boot drop. And of course, we put Collin through our signature “Give ’Em the Boot” segment presented by TECOVAS.
