The WESA 2025 Tradeshow in Dallas brought together the best in Western and English fashion, and Master Hatters of Texas (MHT) was honored to stand among them. From January 22–25, our booth was a hub of activity, drawing retailers eager to see what makes MHT hats timeless staples in stores nationwide.

The Chromatic Collection was at the forefront of this year’s success, a bold expression of craftsmanship, style, and versatility. While many colors turned heads, one shade stole the show: Trail Dust, inspired by Pantone’s Color of the Year, 17-1230 Mocha Mousse.

Trail Dust isn’t just a hat color—it’s a story in every shade. Capturing the earthy tones of coffee and the rugged charm of well-worn trails, this hue represents everything the modern Western lifestyle embodies: versatility, heritage, and a connection to nature. Retailers and attendees loved how seamlessly Trail Dust blends into rural and urban settings.

Trail Dust was joined by other hues within the Chromatic Collection, offering retailers a curated range of colors to inspire and captivate customers. Whether your clientele seeks bold statements or subtle sophistication, this collection has something for everyone:

• Bluebonnet: Evoking Texas wildflowers and clear spring skies.
• Longhorn: A warm, bold color that pays homage to Western vibrancy.
• Navy: Timeless and classic, as dependable as a midnight sky.
• Chocolate: Rich, earthy, and perfect for enduring style.
• Cardinal: Vibrant and striking, adding a touch of luxury.

Visitors to our booth came to see what they value most: our latest hat collection. The Chromatic Collection showcased fresh, vibrant options, but attendees also took the opportunity to connect with our team, learn the craftsmanship behind every design, and explore how our hats can align with their store’s vision.

Here’s what stood out most at our booth:

• Previewing the Collection: Retailers appreciated seeing and feeling the newest colors and designs in person.
• Learning the Craft: Our artisans shared the stories, techniques, and inspiration that make each hat a unique masterpiece.
• Tailored Solutions: From custom orders to private labeling, retailers discovered the many ways MHT supports their business goals.

The feedback we received at WESA confirmed what we’ve always known: customers love hats that tell a story. The Chromatic Collection provides retailers with bold new options to refresh their inventory while staying true to the heritage their customers value.

And for those who placed orders at the show, the 10% show-exclusive discount was the perfect way to stock shelves with these standout colors.

As we move forward from WESA, we’re ready to help you bring these exciting designs to your store. With Trail Dust, Bluebonnet, and the rest of the Chromatic Collection, there’s never been a better time to inspire your customers with hats that reflect the Western lifestyle they love.
