We are the oldest mail-order retailer in the United States, deeply rooted in the heritage of fly fishing and the outdoor lifestyle. Since our founding in 1856 by Charles F. Orvis in Manchester, Vermont, we have been driven by a passion for the wild and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. What began as a humble tackle shop has evolved into a global brand offering distinctive clothing, home furnishings, dog products, and the world's finest fly-fishing and wingshooting gear. We believe that the most meaningful experiences are found in nature, and we strive to inspire others to discover the wonder and adventure that the outdoors provides.
Our connection to the natural world goes beyond just the products we sell; it is the foundation of our business and our values. We are proud to donate 5% of our pre-tax profits every year to protecting nature, supporting communities, and advancing canine health and well-being. Through our '5% for Nature' initiative, we have raised and donated millions of dollars to conservation efforts, ensuring that the wild places we love are preserved for future generations. Whether you are casting a line in a mountain stream, walking the fields with your dog, or simply enjoying the comfort of our products at home, we invite you to join us in a life lived outdoors.
