About Lammle's Western Wear & Tack
Lammle's Western Wear is the leading western lifestyle retailer in Canada. Our story officially began in 1983, when Barry Lammle and his brother Doug saw an opportunity in the retail market for a company to carry the top name brands in western wear and tack under one roof. Our mission was simple: to address the real needs of everyday Albertans - those looking for a western retail brand that provides better service, selection, and quality. This led to the opening of the first three Lammle's Western Wear & Tack stores in our hometown of Calgary, Alberta.
To this day, we are family owned and operated in Calgary and are proud to serve all of Canada through online shopping and our 20+ store locations across Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan.
We're proud to offer that right-fit relationship and a commitment to building a lifestyle experience that welcomes everyone. Whether it's days on the ranch or enjoying a rodeo, concert or a night out on the town – we've got you covered. No matter what your vision is, we'll help you define your look so you can live your own west.
