The Heritage Drifter - Cory

Published on April 18, 2025

Cory’s the sort of guy who wears his story on his sleeve. This Heritage Drifter looks like he walked straight out of a black-and-white western, but he knows his way around a bench grinder just as well as a cattle fence. You’ll spot him in raw denim faded just right, a tee that’s seen a few too many summers, and a down vest that’s more patina than puff. There’s a pipe in his hand and an axe slung over his shoulder—not as props, but because, for some folks, that’s just Thursday.

Mud-scuffed boots (naturally broken in, not brand-new from the shop) hint at detours off the beaten path, while the battered duffel at his side keeps him light on his feet. He packs lean, but those essentials? All chosen with intent. That hat’s got some history in its brim, and those selvedge cuffs aren’t rolling themselves up for show. Worn in, not worn out.
