“Showcasing the Spirit of the West: Hats, Heritage, and Innovation at WESA 2025”
A Standout Moment at WESA 2025: MHT Showcases the Future of Western Hats
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.
The Spotlight on Trail Dust
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.
A Color Palette for Every Western Style
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.
