CARRYING ON THE TRADITION

Bradley Hobert Jr.

If you've strolled through San Antonio’s markets or taken in a local ballgame, you might've crossed paths with a guy sporting a contagious smile, a worn-out Astros cap, and perhaps a swatch of fabric in hand. Meet Bradley Hobert Jr., a Houston-born, baseball-loving, community-serving textile guru.

Childhood weekends for Bradley were split between the rhythmic hum of looms at the family-owned textile shop in Houston and the roar of crowds at the Minute Maid Park. The Astros weren’t just a team; they were family tradition, teaching young Bradley about life’s curves, comebacks, and the importance of legacy.

Stepping into his father's shoes was no small task. Taking the reins of Bradley Hobert's Texas Textiles after his dad passed was about more than business—it was preserving a familial tapestry woven with memories, hopes, and dreams. And while Bradley Jr. breathed fresh life into the age-old craft, he carried the nostalgia of Houston sunsets and city vibes in every piece.

But beyond fabrics and baseball, Bradley’s heart beats for San Antonio. He's not just a businessman; he's an active community pillar. As a board member of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, he’s been pivotal in boosting local businesses. He also volunteers with the San Antonio Food Bank, ensuring no neighbor goes to bed hungry. On weekends, you might find him mentoring young minds at the Boys & Girls Club or orchestrating fundraisers for the local children’s hospital.

Yet, no matter how deep he dives into community work, Bradley never misses an Astros game. It’s his touchstone, transporting him back to sunny Houston days, filled with hopes and dreams.

Bradley Hobert Jr. weaves more than just textiles. He stitches together the spirit of two cities, melding the warmth of Houston with the vibrancy of San Antonio, creating a legacy truly his own.
