The country look for both men and women is an appealing way of dressing which never goes out of style – fortunately at Bullet Blues, our forte is to provide savvy shoppers with timeless American-made pieces that can be added to your wardrobe with the arrival of each new season.

Ever since the trend became popularly worn by cowboys, war veterans, mountain men, and tradesmen in the 19^th Century American West, country and western styling has continued to evolve for the better. Movie stars like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood and Chuck Norris all used to channel this distinctive trend on the big screen in their heydays, and they were often seen sporting staples like Stetson hats, flannel shirts, leather chaps and of course, cowboy boots. Each of these western costume elements were known to add character to their outlaw movie personas.
