Bolero Jacket, Black

Stage-Ready Western Swagger 🤠✨🎸

Step into a bit of western history with the brand-new Bolero Jacket by H Bar C — a design born for showtime and built to last. Originally created in 1936 for the legendary country singer Bob Wills, this jacket has stayed relevant for decades, still riding high as one of H Bar C’s top sellers. More recently, big-name icons like Johnny Depp have been spotted wearing it, proving that this Bolero ain’t just for old saloons — it fits today’s spotlight just as well.

Made from 100% premium Tencel, the fabric holds a refined drape and soft hand-feel that moves easy and breathes well. The jacket is trimmed with detailed piping and features an appliqué lucky horseshoe design — a nod to classic Western aesthetics mixed with a dash of rock-and-roll flair.

Fabric & Feel — Why Tencel Matters 🌿

Tencel is a modern, eco-conscious fiber derived from sustainably sourced eucalyptus trees — known for softness, breathability, and a flattering, fluid drape. On this jacket, Tencel offers you a lighter, more comfortable fit than traditional gabardine or heavy cotton — perfect when you want Western style without a heavy coat feeling. H Bar C aims to combine heritage with modern sensibility, and this material choice shows just that.

H Bar C – The Legacy Behind the Jacket 🤠🏆

Founded in 1897 by Brooklyn tailor Samuel Christenfeld, the company originally went by “Tailoring by Christenfeld,” later becoming Halpern & Christenfeld in 1906. A few years later, the name was shortened to H-C, and eventually became H Bar C — a moniker that would soon be tied to the roots of authentic Western wear.

By the 1930s they expanded into Western clothing, opening a Los Angeles office and positioning themselves at the heart of Hollywood’s golden age of Western cinema. Over the decades, H Bar C clothed legends like John Wayne, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Elvis Presley (and more), turning Western ranchwear into a global style language.

In the mid-1990s H Bar C took a hiatus from production, and their vintage garments rose to cult status among collectors. Then in 2016, with Western aesthetics coming back around, H Bar C rebooted production — still carrying forward the same emphasis on style, quality and authenticity that made the brand legendary.
