Wild West Bandana by Bandits Bandanas

Wild West Bandana by Bandits Bandanas. The Wild West bandana in 100% organic cotton, designed by artist Berkmade, Nashville TN. Raised in rural Texas, artist Van Berkemeyer (aka Berkmade) grew up with dreams of being a cowboy. He idolized Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and wouldn't be caught dead in town without his boots on. In his 20's he spent time training horses and running fences for a ranch in Oklahoma. And now he makes his living designing for boot brands, country artists, and western organizations. It's safe to say that west is in his blood.

Van told Bandits that "the west has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. All my heroes growing up were cowboys. It's always given be a feeling of freedom, individuality, and pride." Drawing on a lifetime of experience in the west, this bandana design is Van's commentary on the staying power of the west's in the collective cultural memory. As he explained, "even though the west has changed with technology, oil rigs, and progress... it can never truly be tamed. It lives on in the hearts of cowboys and cowgirls who carry on the legacy."
