Lucchese Steamboat

New Westernwear store in town

“Move over, pilgrim…there’s a new western store in town.” While John Wayne might not have ever uttered that, that’s the case here in Steamboat, with Lucchese Bootmaker, Steamboat’s newest retail outlet, riding into town last February with a new storefront at 822 Lincoln Ave. Founded way back in 1883 and based in San Antonio until moving to El Paso in 1986, Lucchese has 25 brick and mortar stores across the country, including Union Station in Denver, Telluride and now Steamboat. “We pride ourselves on our quality and our craftsmanship,” says district manager Jacob Dickey. “We made our name in Western wear and boots and then expanded into more apparel, bags and accessories. When it comes to Western wear, we are going to try to carry it. We think Steamboat is going be a great market for us.”
