Chuck Stormes

A thorough grounding in the mechanics of the trade and countless hours of intense study and practice culminated in the opening of his own shop in 1968. Building on a strong sense of tradition and a deep commitment to fine craftsmanship, Stormes has developed an enviable reputation. His 40 years in the trade have resulted in a personal style that clearly reflects the influence of the elegant vaquero saddles of early California.

Chuck Stormes was the first recipient of the City of Calgary's Silver Spur Award and in 1998 received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists in Fort Worth, Texas.
