Who We Are

Hey there, I’m Jess! Growing up, I earned the nickname “Messy Jess”—and let’s just say, not much has changed! I’ve always been a bit of a hot mess, but I’ve learned to embrace it as part of my charm. That nickname stuck with me through the years, and when it came time to start this company, it felt only fitting to let "Messy Jess" lead the way.

Messy Jess was born out of my deep passion for the western lifestyle, a true love for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces, and a solid respect for the old-school way of life.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the rugged beauty of the West—the stories, the traditions, and the craftsmanship that defined a simpler time. That passion evolved into a mission: to bring that timeless spirit to those who appreciate it as much as I do.

But let’s be real—Messy Jess isn’t just your vintage plug; it’s a community, and a bit of a wild ride.

When I started this company, I knew it had to be more than just a place to find cool, vintage items. I wanted to create a space where people could come together, share their love for the western way of life, and maybe laugh a little at the glorious mess that life can be. Whether you're a seasoned cowboy, a vintage enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the charm of days gone by, Messy Jess is here for you.

Every piece I curate tells a story—of craftsmanship, history, and authenticity. From deadstock riding denim that has seen miles of open road to hand-stitched jackets that echo the styles of decades past, each item is selected with care and an eye for quality. But more than that, I’m committed to ensuring that these treasures find their way to homes where they’ll be cherished for years to come.

But Messy Jess is about more than just the products.

It’s about celebrating a way of life that honors tradition while embracing individuality—and maybe a little chaos along the way. It’s about connecting with like-minded souls who find beauty in the old ways and seek to carry that legacy forward. Here, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of a community that values the grit, the grace, and the stories behind every stitch (even if a few of those stitches are a bit crooked).

So, whether you’re here to find that perfect vintage piece or to connect with others who share your passion, welcome to Messy Jess. I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride—just watch out for a few bumps along the way. After all, what’s life without a little mess?
