Coyote Butte Navy
The most requested pattern we've ever carried. Authentic Pendleton® premium blanket weight wool. Extremely limited.
Coyote Butte Navy is the one riders ask for by name. It has a following, and it earns it.
A deep navy ground — nearly black in low light — carries a diamond lattice across the entire field, and inside every diamond the color goes off like something struck. Ivory and sky blue step up in terraced ranks. Lavender and orchid work the middle. Magenta runs a hot line straight through the center. Beneath it, a band of copper and gold moves horizontally with spiral scrollwork in cream and camel, holding the whole composition down.
Dark and electric at once. Nothing in this pattern is timid.
The geometry is layered and continuous — a diamond lattice with no beginning or end, filled with stepped terrace forms and cut through by a band of stepped spiral frets, the crook-and-scroll motif that runs through Southwest weaving as a device for keeping a line in motion. Read as a whole it moves: diagonal lattice, horizontal bands, vertical dashes. It never sits still.
The palette is the reason people remember it. Deep navy and near-black as the ground, then cream and bone, sky blue, cornflower, orchid and lavender, hot magenta and berry, and copper-gold with white scrollwork. Cool and jewel-toned with a warm spine running underneath.
Woven as a true jacquard, this fabric presents two genuinely distinct color expressions on opposing sides — and Coyote Butte Navy has one of the strongest reverses in the entire line. The dark side reads as jewel color struck against near-black: high drama, maximum contrast. The light side flips the ground entirely — camel and gold come forward, berry and magenta widen into full bands, and the navy drops back to become the linework. Two completely different pads from one cut of cloth. Same pattern. Different attitude entirely.
Coat Colors:
This one is spectacular on nearly everything, which is part of why it moves the way it does.
The dark side is at its best on palominos, buckskins, and duns, where the copper-gold band picks up the coat and the navy throws the whole pattern into relief. On blacks, dark bays, and blue roans it goes deep and tonal, with the magenta and ivory doing the lifting — dramatic without shouting. On grays and dapples the contrast is as sharp as it gets in this line.
The light side belongs on dark horses. Blacks, dark bays, and blue roans against that camel and berry ground is the single most striking combination this fabric produces. On sorrels and chestnuts the copper runs right into the coat and it warms beautifully.
Saddle & Tack Leather:
Purple leather is the signature pairing on the dark side, and it is worth doing — the orchid and magenta in the weave meet it exactly, and nothing else looks like it. Black leather with silver hardware is the sharper, more graphic option. Chocolate and dark oiled brown warm the copper band forward.
On the light side, chestnut and harness leather are the natural match and let the camel ground carry. Brass and antique brass follow the gold; silver and stainless follow the blue and magenta. Both directions work — pick one and commit.
