Garza launched clothing apparel R-N-T
Two years ago, a young man from Weslaco, Texas, combined his favorite hobbies with apparel to launch his own line of outdoor wear. Rack-N-Tails (R-N-T) features apparel for those who love to spend time fishing and hunting.
Trey Garza got the idea to start his own clothing brand in January of 2020, and it took six months to launch. The brand launched in July 2020 and is currently in three stores, Hook Line & Sinker in Harlingen, Texas, Ted’s Borderline Hardware in Weslaco, Texas, and R&R Tackle Shop in Mission, Texas.
Garza attends Texas A&M University- Kingsville (TAMUK) as an undergraduate student and is currently a junior Agricultural Business major.
“My five-year plan includes, to invest in my own printing and embroidery equipment, as well as expand into more retail stores not only in the Rio Grande Valley but across Texas. I also have plans to venture into the creation of hunting and fishing guiding services,” Garza said.
R-N-T has six promotional staff members, whose duties include to promote the brand and take photos in the apparel. R-N-T participates in fishing tournaments, skeet shoots and BBQ cookoffs. Trey hopes R-N-T can be featured at local hunting and fishing expos across Texas.
“Being a prostaff for Rack-N-Tails feels great and I love being a part of the staff to help promote the brand. This is the first brand I have been a prostaff member for. I understand where he’s [Garza] coming from and I will always support his brand as it was launched by a fellow college student,” freshman Jacob Burket said.
Garza’s company stays local to the South Texas region by representing where the brand originated from. R-N-T sells clothing, hats and accessory items. Items include South Texas Hunting Edition short sleeve shirt, South Padre Island dry-fit shirt, Hunt Texas Dove Edition dry-fit shirt and Outdoors hoodie. They sell 20 different variety of caps and accessories such as koozies and decals.
“I have bought a total of 11 caps, eight shirts and four decals from Rack-N-Tails. I have known Trey for a while now and supporting his business as well as competing in multiple events with him to promote the brand feels unreal,” frequent buyer Daniel Alaniz said.
Within the next month, R-N-T will be releasing a new line of shirt designs and more variety of cap colors. For more information on R-N-T, follow them on Facebook @Rack-N-Tails and Instagram @rack_n_tails or visit the website Rack-N-Tails.com.
