The Fort Worth Stockyards is getting a little more rugged refinement with the arrival of two iconic American brands: Pendleton Woolen Mills and Will Leather Goods. These new additions mark the only flagship locations for both brands in Texas, further cementing the Stockyards' reputation as a premier shopping destination for Western designs.
Stockyards Heritage Development Co. announced the news Thursday, noting that both brands fit seamlessly into the district’s legacy of craftsmanship and Western heritage.
Will Leather Goods, known for its handcrafted leather bags and accessories, has been a hit in the Stockyards since launching a successful pop-up shop in November 2024. Now, the brand is here to stay. The company will continue serving customers at 128 E. Exchange Ave., Suite 550, while preparing to open a full-line store in June.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the Fort Worth Stockyards, a place that champions our core values,” said William Adler, CEO of Will Leather Goods in a statement.
Specializing in high-quality, durable leather goods, Will Leather Goods blends premium materials with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring every piece tells a story and stands the test of time.
Few brands embody the American West like Pendleton Woolen Mills. Known for its iconic wool blankets and classic apparel, Pendleton’s arrival in Mule Alley this May complements the leather craftsmanship of Will Leather Goods, creating a seamless blend of rugged tradition at 128 E. Exchange Ave., Suite 630.
Pendleton operates two of the last remaining woolen mills in the United States, where it crafts its renowned blankets from start to finish—an enduring testament to its commitment to quality and heritage.
"We are confident that the Fort Worth Stockyards is the right place for our very first Texas location," said Peggy Denfeld, director of retail leasing and finance for Pendleton Woolen Mills. "We are impressed by the district’s growth and vibrancy and look forward to being a part of its continued success."
