Introducing New Jewelry from David Morgan

October 25, 2024

We’re excited to present new additions to our jewelry collection at David Morgan, where we honor tradition, craftsmanship, and a love for nature. These pieces bring fresh inspirations and cherished designs into our jewelry family, offering beautiful choices for both long-time admirers and those discovering us for the first time.

Sterling Silver Selections: Grace and Strength

Our new sterling silver designs offer timeless appeal and meaningful design. First, we have the Sea Turtle Earrings, crafted to reflect the calm, steady beauty of this gentle creature. Sea turtles embody patience and grace as they move through life at their own pace, and these earrings capture that quiet strength perfectly. Whether as a reminder of beach memories or a symbol of resilience, these Sea Turtle Earrings make a lovely gift or personal treasure.

The Salmon Earrings are another sterling silver addition, symbolizing renewal and perseverance. The salmon’s journey home is one of strength and purpose, and these earrings honor that spirit with intricate detail. They’re designed for those who feel connected to the waters and landscapes of the Pacific Northwest or anyone who appreciates symbols of endurance and courage.

Inspired by Nature’s Beauty

Nature has always been a source of inspiration, and our new jewelry continues that tradition. The Blackberry Necklace celebrates the familiar sight of blackberry clusters in summer, capturing their graceful shape in a design that is both refreshing and nostalgic. This necklace is perfect for those who feel a connection to nature’s abundance and simplicity, bringing a touch of the outdoors into daily wear.

Another highlight in our nature-inspired offerings is the Orca Breaching Pendant. With orcas so iconic to the Northwest, this pendant captures the beauty and power of these creatures in a remarkable way. An orca in mid-breach symbolizes freedom and natural beauty, making this piece a striking choice for any admirer of marine life or the Pacific coast.

New Takes on Old Favorites

Some designs are timeless, and we’ve added new versions of our beloved classics to celebrate their charm. The Otter Pendant is a piece loved by many, now available in fresh designs that preserve the playful spirit of otters. Known for their joyful nature and cleverness, otters bring a lighthearted quality to this pendant, making it a delightful addition to any collection.

Likewise, our Hummingbird Heart Pin has been a favorite among customers who appreciate the energy and grace of hummingbirds. This new version retains the beauty of the original, adding a touch of modern craftsmanship. It’s a wonderful piece for anyone who feels a kinship with these lively birds or simply enjoys the elegant touch it adds to a lapel, hat, or scarf.

A New Look From American Hat Makers

May 29, 2024

The Unforgiven Hat, reminiscent of the hat worn by Clint Eastwood in the 1992 film “Unforgiven”, is one of our new favorites from American Hat Makers. Since the company’s creation in early 1970s, American Hat Makers has been a family owned business passed down from generations.

The Unforgiven Hat sports a leather hat band with an ornate ornamental nail closure. This hat is made from cowhide leather and has a crunch leather finish, adorned with a teardrop crown and a flat brim. The interior is lined with with satin and a soft, but resilient, absorbent sweatband.

Leather hats are durable and long lasting. A light coating of Pecard Leather Dressing every six months will help maintain the fine appearance of your leather hat.

Ornamental Nail Closure on Hat Band

American Hat Makers is owned and operated by father and son, Gary and Garth Watrous. Gary started American Hat Makers in the early 70s with only $20 in leather, $20 in leather working tools and the back of a 1963 Chevy station wagon. Garth took over in 2005 after 50 years of hat making, and has helped grow American Hat Makers through innovation, production, and genuine connections.

Here’s a short video showcasing the Father-Son duo that we thought you might enjoy.

Continuing the Legacy

Prison Blues Introduces New Colors

May 21, 2024

Prison Blues has recently sent us their new Rigid Olive color tone garments. Made from 100% US cotton canvas, this material is a tightly woven fabric that’s stronger than denim. The Rigid Olive Canvas is a perfect fit for active work days, being made from a lighter weight and more comfortable fabric.

These products are hand-crafted by inmates serving time at the Eastern Oregon Correction Institution. The garments have helped create a work program that has given inmates an opportunity to pay their bills, build a work ethic, and gain a longstanding work skill.

In addition to their Rigid Olive color option, Prison Blues has added Charcoal. Now available in their Work Shirt line, be sure to check out the Charcoal color if you’re out playing in the dirt and need a reliable, long-lasting work shirt.

Known for their great quality and value, we recommend Prison Blues whether for casual or work wear. “Made on the Inside to be worn on the Outside.”

Spring / Summer 2024 Catalog is now available

May 13, 2024

Our Spring / Summer 2024 Catalog is now available. It is also available as a PDF file here. Here’s a quote from Will that we wanted to share.

“Dear Customers and Friends,

It is an interesting time to be in the retail business, especially with a small family owned and operated company like David Morgan. The past six months we’ve seen more vendors retired and some of our favorite products discontinued. We’ve also found some great new products we hope you like, scattered through this catalog.

I and our staff look forward to your continued patronage as we bring you our eclectic mix of quality items. Thank you!

– Will Morgan”

Akurba’s Hemp Range hat is one of those products that we’re sad to see go. The Hemp Range has been our go-to recommendation for folks looking for a hat that that can take some damage while keeping them out the sun. Available for as long as we have stock, these hats are stiffer and longer-wearing than our other Panama hats. Please call or click the link above to check if your hat size is still available.

 

A product we’re excited to add to our showcase is the Archaeologist Satchel by Frost River. The satchel is the perfect carrier for our 450 Series Bullwhips, used in the “Indiana Jones” movies. The bag has been so popular that we’ve sold out of our first batch but we will have more to be shipped out by 5/23/2024. Frost River guarantees the seams on your bag will stay sewn together, the rivets will hold, the zippers will work, and the buckles will do their job for as long as you (or even your grandkids) have your bag.

Fall and Winter Favorites

November 13, 2020

We have added two items this year that will bring you warmth for this fall and winter.

The lambswool scarf is woven in a number of traditional Scottish tartans. The scarf is 10 inches wide by 70 inches in length with a three inch fringe at each end. It is made of 100% Merino lambswool.

 

The scarf is made in Yorkshire, by the Highland Tweeds Mill that was established in 1837. At its height in the 19th Century Yorkshire was the world’s leading manufacturer of woolen textiles, helped by the secret ingredient of soft Pennine water. The invention of synthetic yarn in the 20th Century led to a decline in the woolen industry and only the mills supplying the highest quality woolen cloth have survived.

The Highland Tweeds Mill is one of Great Britain’s last remaining vertical woolen mills. Each floor contains a separate part of the manufacturing process, allowing quality control of every stage of production, from raw wool to finished product. This includes dyeing, blending, carding, spinning, warping, weaving and finishing.

The next item is our Dash Fingerless Mittens. These Fingerless Mittens, like our Fingerless Gloves, are designed to keep your fingers available for working while keeping the rest of your hands toasty warm. 40% possum fur, 50% Merino wool and 10% nylon. One size fits most.

 

 

Frost River Additions

April 19, 2019

The quality of Frost River’s waxed canvas bags can’t be argued. They are made in the United States, in Duluth, Minnesota. Their products are made with the highest quality materials, many which are also made in the US. They benefit from over 250 years of experience in the North Woods and Boundary Waters. Built by hand and built to last, Frost River guarantees their luggage for life.

We are pleased to offer two new items by Frost River.

 

Arrowhead Roll Top

 

Named after the famous Arrowhead Region of northeast Minnesota, the Arrowhead Rolltop is an incredibly versatile pack, adjusting in size from as small as 18 inches in height to about 27 inches. The bridle leather straps with brass hardware secure the pack whether filled with gear or rolled up to the most compact size. Built with tough, 18 oz. waxed canvas, the pack has a double bottom for durability and two grommeted air vents on the side. Read more here.

 

Lake Huron Tote

 

The Lake Huron Tote by Frost River is your essential, day-to-day companion. The 18 ounce waxed canvas and the two-inch cotton web handles allow for lugging heavy loads. The double-waxed canvas bottom adds another layer of durability. There are two exterior side pockets. The size of this tote is 13″ high by 13.5″ long and 5.75″ wide. Read more here.

Cedar Carvings by Dora Edwards

October 11, 2018

Coastal Salish art is a tradition that goes back at least 5000 years. Carvings can be made from bone, wood or stone. The artist creates the image by carving away the unnecessary material, leaving the image in relief. These images are often in profile, but unlike modern, Western art, they can show a varying perspective.

Our cedar carvings are hand carved by Dora Edwards. They are painted and adorned with an abalone eye. Dora is the daughter of Connie Edwards and Larry James. She was born on Penelakut Island, one of British Columbia’s Gulf Islands, in 1985. She learned the art of carving from her parents, both well-known Coastal Salish carvers, at the age of 14. Each piece is unique, signed on the back and with a wire attached for easy hanging. Carvings may face either to the right or to the left. Hand crafted in Canada.

There’s Still Plenty of Time for Hiking

August 24, 2018

With the dog days of summer nearly over, a day hike isn’t looking as formidable as it was just a week ago. Spending a day in the sun can actually be enjoyable. rather then a throat-parching, sweat-drenched experience. With pleasant weather ahead (sorry Texas) go ahead and spend the day outdoors. We have a few items that you may find useful for your venture outdoors.

 

 

Possum Trekking Socks

 

The possum trekking socks are designed for hiking. The sole is cushioned with a terry knit. Possum fiber and merino wool make for a very comfortable fit. Just enough nylon to keep the shape.

Urban Field Bag

 

Our urban field bag works great outdoors, too. The waxed cotton is extremely tough and can withstand anything you throw at it. It’s just large enough to carry the essentials.

 

Coober Pedy: Oregon State Parks Badge

 

With a 3-1/4 inch brim, turned down in the Aussie style, the Coober Pedy will give plenty of sun and rain protection. They are worn by the Oregon State Park Service. What better endorsement is that? By the way, the folks at South Beach State Park are the best.
