Whenever I make a trip to West Texas, I focus on some mix of the following essentials: jeans (my favorite pair of 501s), tees and pearl snap shirts, a cozy sweater or two, a hat for sun protection, and, of course, a pair of boots. My newest pair is a custom version of this style style from Miron Crosby. The finishing touch? A few accessories like this vintage belt and a scarf do the trick.

Below, a peek at my packing list.
