Tecovas in Carlsbad's La Costa corridor brings handcrafted Western bootmaking to The Forum shopping center on Calle Barcelona. The Austin-founded brand, launched in 2015, produces boots in calfskin, suede, ostrich, and caiman leathers through a direct-to-consumer pipeline that eliminates traditional retail markup, a vertically integrated model distinct from the outlet-format distribution at Kate Spade Outlet on Paseo del Norte. Complimentary leather stamping and custom monogramming are performed in-store on every purchase. The Carlsbad showroom opened in October 2025 as the brand's second San Diego County location, stocking a full Western apparel line of belts, pearl-snap shirts, and felt hats that broadens the menswear selection along El Camino Real near Men's District. Each boot is built on a reinforced toe box with Goodyear-welted sole construction engineered for full resoling after extended wear.
