H Bar C

We have a selection of clothing from H Bar C – Vintage & New! In fact, we are the only store in Europe to offer NEW H Bar C's!

The story of H Bar C began in 1897, when Samuel Christenfeld started a small tailor shop. In 1906, he joined forces with Mel Halpern, born a company called Halpern and Christenfeld. As Halpern left, the name changed to H-C, and shortly after to H Bar C.

H Bar C supplied clothes for many western movies clothing the likes of Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Elvis Presley, and John Travolta to name a few. Post WWII, H Bar C recruited Nudie Cohn, the famous Rodeo Tailor to begin designing shirts for the brand. They pushed the limits with embroidery and appliqué work. Later, many of these advances became the new standards in western wear.

In the late 90's, manufacturing in LA became unfeasible, so they took a hiatus from production. Thus, H Bar C vintage pieces exploded in popularity. In 2016, H Bar C re-launched the production. Their mission is to be a unique brand catering to those who don't mind standing out.
