Lucchese Bootmaker, one of the country's most storied boot brands, is partnering with fresh-faced country superstar Parker McCollum, a Conroe-native, for a Texas-sized collaboration that includes boots, clothing, and accessories.
In 2022, McCollum and the Lucchese team recognized a similar passion for bringing forward the spirit of the Lone Star State, and the idea for The Lucchese x Parker McCollum Collection was born. The debut collection consists of two shirts, four belts, and four unique boots, each created in the horseman style and handmade in Texas — Evening Patriot, Hollywood Gold, Silhouette, and Ruger.
McCollum, famous for his baseball hats with boots style both on and off-stage, also designed three hats for the collection, including one limited-edition navy hat. A portion of the hat proceeds will benefit his charity, The Ruger Fund.
"When I connected with the team at Lucchese to design this collection, my goal was for these boots to feel like me, so I approached it the way I write my music," McCollum said in a statement. "Just like my songs, I wanted to create something that people can see a bit of themselves in, that would feel timeless, and would inspire folks in their day-to-day, something Lucchese is already really good at."
McCollum, who isn't shy about showing his appreciation for the country's military and veterans, designed the Evening Patriot as a tribute with intentional coloring and McCollum's signature five-rose design, which is inlaid into the boot shaft. The Evening Patriot is the collaboration's lead design and the debut of Lucchese's brand-new men's leather, sueded caiman.

Priced at $745 to $2,995, each boot in the collection honors something special in McCollum's life. Hollywood Gold celebrates his award-winning 2020 album, while Silhouette commemorates a song from his 2015 album. The most sentimental boot in the collection may just be the Ruger, which is named after the singer's chocolate Labrador retriever. It is the one boot in the collection made for the outdoors and features slip-resistant soles and a rugged design.

"I don't have much style, but I know what I like. And so it's kind of fun with Lucchese. If I can match these boots with my outfit, I actually look like I know what I'm doing a little bit," McCollum said in a recent interview.
The Lucchese x Parker McCollum Collection will be available for purchase in-store at all Lucchese retail locations and through Lucchese's official website.
A portion of the proceeds from this limited-edition navy hat will benefit McCollum's charity, The Ruger Fund.
