From the Editor-in-Boots

Welcome to the Mercantile. Most of what you'll find here isn't flashy. It's the kind of gear that earns its keep. On a horse, by the campfire, or in a long day's work.

We don't make these items. We chose them. And we stand behind every one of them because of their usefulness and authenticity to life in the West.

What We Use

These are some of the things we reach for first. The gear, books, and home goods that truly earn their keep. Each is chosen for its quality, usefulness, and how well it fits the Way Out West lifestyle.

More Than a Store

The Mercantile is just one part of Way Out West. The stories, the people, and the culture behind it all live in the Journal and the Podcast.

If you want to understand the West, not just wear a piece of it, start here:
