Benny Emmons started Supreme Rope Company in Grand
Prairie, Texas in 1974. Benny acquired the basic rope making skills from his
father, Pete Emmons, and started making rope at his dad’s place when he
was 6 years old. Pete
Emmons began making ropes in 1930 with a homemade rope twister he invented
using old car parts and junk. Pete was born in Oklahoma and was raised in a
cotton patch in west Texas, but as soon as he was old enough he got horseback
and started cowboying for the Matador Ranch, and vowed he would never go back
to that cotton field. During this time he started making lariats by hand and
would ride a horse to Ft Worth on the weekends and sell his ropes. It
wasn’t long until he gained a reputation for his quality handmade
lariats. Mr.
Emmons entrusted to Benny the skill of making handmade lariats and the
tradition of quality and fair pricing. Pete Emmons passed away at the age of
89 on July 26th 1998. Benny
Emmons started his own company in 1974 with a wife, two kids to feed, and
$200.00 in his pocket. Over the years Benny and Family have added so much to
the line that a name change seemed to be in order. Supreme Western Products
became the name to encompass the wide range of horse and western products
that include virtually everything for the cowboy, cowgirl, trader, trainer or
anyone that messes with horses or rodeos. The Emmons name has been synonymous
with handmade lariats for nearly ¾ of a century. Today
Supreme Western Products is the largest manufacturer in the United States of
handmade lariats as well as a complete rope line including bulk rope, braided
rope, paracord products, pigging strings, girth cord and the list goes on.
Supreme’s line of leather goods is extensive, covering tack, strap
accessories plus an array of exclusive items not found elsewhere.
Personalized trophy items for rodeos, shows fairs, etc. The trophy items
include halters, breast collars, blankets and anything else that has space
big enough to tool on. All of our chaps are made in-house in Grand Prairie,
Texas and the line covers virtually every size and style imaginable and on
occasion some beyond. Supreme
manufacturers a wide variety of saddle pads, from the traditional hair pads
up through the top of the line felt and Pro-Fit pads. Supreme cinchas are
made entirely in-house from spinning the cord, to tying the cinchas, to
wrapping the centers and reinforcing them with leather bars, to tagging them.
By being in control of the manufacturing all the way thru helps us provide
much better quality, pricing and delivery. Supreme Western’s nylon
products include halters, leads, dog furnishings and tack. Space does not
permit but a partial listing of all the products that are manufactured and
sold by Supreme Western Products. Our
products are available thru our dealers who are in almost every state in the
United States and most countries in the free world. Supreme
Western Products is still a family owned and operated business that prides
itself in personal attention to customers and products that we manufacture
right here in the good ole USA. This tradition has carried through three
generations and is headed for the fourth. Benny Emmons, President of the
