In the vast and storied landscape of Western boot craftsmanship, there exists a rhythmic heartbeat, echoing through time — the HYER Heart stitch pattern. Rooted in history, this heartbeat finds its origin in the revered "HYER 100 stitch pattern," a timeless design that has not only withstood the test of time but has also become a symbol of enduring craftsmanship. As we embark on a journey to explore the romantic tapestry of our current Leawood collection, we find ourselves on a profound expedition back to the archives, unraveling the threads that bind the past with the present.

At the core of our Leawood collection lies the heartbeat of our legacy — the HYER 100 stitch pattern. Inspired by this true HYER Heart design, Leawood pays homage to the craftsmanship that defined an era. This intricate pattern, carefully curated from the depths of our archives, serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to preserving the essence of authenticity in every pair of boots we meticulously craft.

The hallowed halls of our archives house more than just dusty blueprints; they encapsulate the soul of a bygone era. Each stitch pattern, carefully cataloged, becomes a silent witness to the evolution of Western fashion. The HYER Heart, with its distinctive rhythm and historical significance, emerges as one of the first-known stitch patterns from the early days of HYER. As we sift through the yellowed pages of our history, we rediscover the unparalleled artistry that went into creating each design—a legacy now reflected in the Leawood collection, and soon, even more collections.

While other stitch patterns have been vastly replicated from the HYER originals, the HYER Heart stitch pattern has not been abundantly replicated. It stands as a symbol of our brand's unique identity. Its exclusivity, derived from being a genuine HYER pattern, has set it apart from the commonplace designs that flood the market. The Leawood collection, drawing inspiration from this distinctive heartbeat, not only pays homage to the craftsmanship of yesteryears but also propels it into the modern era, where authenticity is a cherished rarity amid mass-produced uniformity.

In the heartwarming saga of our brand, Nana becomes the cherished storyteller, passing down the legacy of the HYER Heart from generation to generation. In a moment that will forever be written in our history, Nana gifted Zach his grandfather Ford's boots (Zach previously stated these were his favorite boots, but we'd like to think that was until his custom HYER wedding boots came into the picture a couple of weeks ago). His grandfather's boots are the boots that started it all for Zach. They are vintage HYER 100's with exquisite anteater leather on the vamp. In that moment Zach not only inherited a pair of boots but also a symbol of his family's heritage. Nana, when gifting the boots affectionately called it the "HYER Heart." In what seemed like a slip of the tongue, actually imparted not just a term but a sentiment that will transcend generations. A true testament to the enduring spirit woven into every stitch.

As we stand at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, there's an exciting hint lingering in the air—an anticipation of the future. New collections, poised to bring back the HYER 100 stitch pattern in all its glory, are on the horizon (and sooner than you think)7. The heartbeat of the HYER Heart, resonating through the Leawood collection, is but a prelude to the symphony that awaits. Our commitment to the archives ensures that each stitch pattern, each heartbeat, has the chance to dance across the modern frontier, bridging the gap between history and contemporary allure.

In every stitch of the Leawood collection, the HYER Heart comes alive, weaving an intricate tale of craftsmanship and heritage. The legacy of the HYER 100 stitch pattern, etched into the very fabric of our brand, speaks to the dedication of generations who have shaped the identity of HYER Boots. This legacy, far from being a relic of the past, serves as a guiding force propelling us into a future where authenticity and tradition remain at the heart of our creations.

The HYER 100, being one of the first known stitch patterns from the inception of HYER, holds a special place in our design philosophy. Its intricate details and historical significance set it apart from the commonplace, marking it as a symbol of the brand's commitment to excellence. As we bring it back to the forefront through the Leawood collection, and soon our modern day HYER 100 collection, we celebrate not just a stitch pattern but a piece of our narrative—a narrative that continues to unfold with every meticulously crafted boot.

In a world where mass production often overshadows individuality, the HYER Heart stitch pattern emerges as a beacon of authenticity. Unlike many big brands, we proudly embrace our unique heritage, and the HYER Heart stands as a testament to our commitment to craftsmanship. Each pair of HYER boots becomes a canvas, showcasing not just a stitch pattern but a piece of the soul of HYER—an intricate dance of threads that speaks to the heart of Western tradition.
