Saddle Up: Country Wear Arrives at Hip Pocket Maitland & Thornton
Date Posted:22 August 2025
There’s something about life in the Hunter that calls for country wear. From the rolling vineyards to wide-open farmland and everything in between, country living is woven into the fabric of our region. It’s a lifestyle that blends hard work, family, and the great outdoors — and it deserves clothing and footwear that can keep up.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Country Wear sections at Hip Pocket Maitland and Hip Pocket Thornton. Whether you’re working on the farm, heading into town, or spending a weekend exploring the Hunter, our expanded range means you’ll find quality gear to suit every part of country life.
Why Country Wear Matters in the Hunter
The Hunter Region is built on industries like farming, vineyards, equine, and mining — but it’s also home to people who simply love the relaxed, rugged look of country style. Country wear isn’t just about fashion; it’s about practicality, durability, and comfort. A good shirt or a tough pair of boots can take you from a day in the paddock to a night at the pub.
Brands That Fit the Lifestyle
We’ve brought together some of the most trusted names in country wear, with gear designed to meet the demands of the Hunter lifestyle:
• Ringers Western – A brand that’s become synonymous with modern country living, offering everything from hoodies and shirts to stylish t-shirts, trucker caps and accessories.
• Pilbara Collection by Ritemate Australia – Known for durable fabrics and timeless designs, perfect for both the workplace and the weekend.
• Levi’s – The world’s most iconic denim brand, now with an expanded range as part of our country wear offering.
• Steel Blue – Including the all-new ‘Blue Heeler’ Western-style safety boot, designed for those who need a blend of safety and style on the job.
From caps and belts to boots and jeans, our new sections are packed with pieces that are as versatile as the people who wear them.
