About Pendleton

Pendleton Woolen Mills has been spinnin’ yarns (literally) since the 1860s, settlin’ roots in Oregon where the wool was plentiful and the craftsmanship mighty. By the mid-20th century, Pendleton wasn’t just makin’ blankets for trading posts—they became the toast of the American West. Their High Grade Western Wear line hit the market in the 1970s and 80s, bringing bold patterns, western yokes, and frontier style to ranchers, rodeo riders, and city slickers alike. For many, Pendleton became a symbol of the Southwest—blending Native-inspired designs with cowboy grit, and giving a look that hollers “ready for the open range” whether you’re in Santa Fe or San Francisco.
