"Howdy" might be the most Texan word there is. It's short, friendly, and says a lot with just one breath. But behind that simple greeting lies something deeper - a reflection of who we are, how we treat each other, and what it means to belong to this state.
At Howdywood, we don't just wear the word. We live it.
A Word That Opens Doors
"Howdy" has been around since the early frontier days, born out of practicality and plainspoken warmth. It was never fancy or formal. It was about connection. When you said "howdy" to someone, you weren't just acknowledging them - you were saying, I see you. You're welcome here.
That's the same spirit we carry in every shirt we make. Whether you're in a small-town feed store or walking through the heart of Dallas, a good "howdy" can still disarm a stranger and turn a moment into a memory.
From the Frontier to the Front Page
The word spread as Texans moved, worked, and built their lives across the country. It became shorthand for friendliness, authenticity, and pride. Hollywood picked it up, too - cowboy heroes used it like punctuation, cementing it as part of American culture.
But while the movies made it famous, Texans kept it real. Around here, "howdy" isn't an act. It's an attitude.
The Howdywood Connection
We chose the name Howdywood for a reason. It's more than a clever mix of Texas and Hollywood - it's a statement. It's about taking that old-fashioned hospitality and pairing it with creative boldness. It's about art that feels human, stories that feel lived in, and clothing that starts conversations.
When someone asks about your shirt and you tell them it's from Howdywood, you’re already living out the meaning of the name - connection through shared pride and good energy.
Say It Like You Mean It
In a world that moves too fast and talks too loud, "howdy" is a reminder to slow down and see people again. It's a simple word with timeless weight - one that bridges generations and keeps the Texas spirit alive.
So the next time you greet someone, skip the small talk. Just say "howdy" and mean it.
Wear the word that started it all. Explore the Howdywood collection and carry the Texas spirit wherever you go.
