the chimayo vests and coats are legit amazing and worth a mention . ortega's is the label i know .
Thanks for bringing up Chimayo clothing. Chimayo garments and rugs are very special and unique to this area. Ortegas and Trujillos are perhaps the best known of the Chimayo weavers and for keeping this authentic Southwest tradition alive. If you visit Chimayo you can stop by their stores and see them weave. In conversations with them, they tell of Japanese and European retailers and fashion brands coming in and buying dozens to hundreds of Jackets, coats, vests and blankets. If you are interested you can contact them directly at https://www.chimayoweavers.com On this site they also have an extensive history of the area, weaving and the Spanish and Mexican influences.
