Locally Made, Built to Last: Why Supporting Small Matters
Share
At Overholt Supply Co., we don’t just say “support local”—we live it. Roughly 80% of what’s in our shop is made right here in Texas. From our in-house leather goods and graphic tees to the whiskey glass candles we hand-pour ourselves, everything we do is built with intention and grit. Because we believe quality starts with caring who made it—and why.
🛠 What We Make Ourselves
We get our hands dirty—literally. Every patch hat, leather wallet, waxed canvas bag, tumbler, and bottle of Man Beard Co. oil is made or finished in-house. Our shirts? Designed and printed right in the shop. No middlemen, no mass production—just real goods made by real people.
🤝 The Texas Brands We Back
We don’t stop at what we make. We partner with Texas makers who share our values:

When you buy from us, you’re not just supporting Overholt—you’re backing a network of hardworking Texans who still believe in doing things the right way.
🏡 Why It Matters
Big box stores might write checks—but local makers show up. They sponsor tee-ball teams, volunteer at cook-offs, donate to the school auction, and know the names of the people they're helping. That's the kind of support that keeps a town strong.
It’s how I was raised. It’s how we do things in the military. And it’s how I want to build this business—around people, not profits.
No, I wasn’t born in Castroville. But this is home now. And I want to see it thrive—not just as a town you pass through, but as a destination folks want to visit. We’re proud to be part of that story.
🐾 Real Connection, Real Community
Most mornings you’ll find me walking Ellie—our shop dog—around the neighborhood. And it never fails: someone stops to say they’re glad we’re here. That what we’re doing matters. That they’re proud to see something like Overholt Supply Co. in town.
That’s the kind of feedback we don’t take lightly. It’s why we’re committed to growing the shop, so we can keep supporting even more local artisans and keep Castroville on the map in all the right ways.
👉 Come See It For Yourself
Whether you’re passing through or you’re a local who hasn't stopped in yet—swing by. Shake our hand. Feel the leather. Smell the beard oil. You’ll know right away: this place is built different.
