Shep’s Is Wausau’s Newest Clothing & Shoe Store

IMG_5986Isn’t is wonderful when an old dog learns a new trick?  Everybody has fun, especially the old dog.  And with that, we’re thrilled to announce that 66-year-old Shepherd & Schaller is Wausau’s newest clothing store.

Of course we’ve always been the place Wausau turns for performance outerwear – the jackets, snow pants and accessories you need to brave snowy winters and wet, chilly summers.  Over the years you’ve also turned to us for specialty clothing for hunting and athletics as well as related necessities for working and playing hard in all kinds of weather.  Performance fabrics, premium insulations, thoughtful designs, trend-leading style and superior construction are key to the popularity of our brands.  Yoga and sportswear were introduced into our product mix in recent seasons and we’ve heard you loud and clear: “More!”IMG_5808

And as our community embraces the smart combination of performance-comfort-style-and conscience, outdoor specialty brands lead the way.  You want clothes that fit, wash after wash, that help you perform your best, take you from work to work-out, were manufactured thoughtfully, and deliver genuine value.  We work hard year-round to find the brands that fit the bill.

Join us as we celebrate “living in all seasons” with Men’s and Women’s Sportswear you’ll love to wear.  Please visit their sites for information on their mission.  For example, from the Prana website:  “A brand should give much more than it takes from the world”. This has forever been prAna’s simple answer to the complex challenge of sustainability. prAna’s reason to be and to continue on is based on an increasingly mindful use of natural resources, but also on our ability to motivate our community of customers and peer businesses.  Just as the word “prAna” means so much more than “breath”, the idea of IMG_5810“sustainability”, for us, reaches far beyond organic fabrics, natural fibers and recycling. Our seva is not solely within our products. Perhaps more importantly, it lives within prAna’s tireless attempts to inspire, integrate and socialize a more caring and proactive approach to the world around us.”

Experience and character matter to you too, and so we support brands that have grown with us, made an impression, and instill pride in the wearer.  They are the classics you love, and your parents loved too.  We’re also stocking the fresh fashions you thought were available only out of town.  Come see what’s new.  Spring styles are arriving daily.

65-years-old and we’ve never looked better.  Why not celebrate our 65th Anniversary rather than let it slide by while waiting in line for an AARP card?  Let’s PAR-TAY!

Sept 18-20th, smack in the middle of our month-long Preseason Snow Sports Sale, Shepherd & Schaller Sporting Goods will give you the gifts.  Register to win a free season pass to Granite Peak Ski Area (the midwest’s premier destination with another brand new high speed 6-pack chairlift to enjoy.)  You could also win a free Night Pass to introduce a friend to skiing or snowboarding too.  Other great prizes are on tap, along with special savings like these:

  • Buy 3 Get 1 Free Smartwool Socks
  • 65% off select Winter Outerwear
  • Get Half Off your 2nd pair of Shoes
  • Get Half Off matching snow pants with every new Ski or Snowboard Jacket
  • Spin the Discount Wheel for up to 20% off any in stock winter clothing or footwear item

Unfortunately you can’t combine these great Anniversary Event deals with other discounts or offers.

Join us November 15th too, when we host a proper Apres Ski Party at the Grand Theater in Downtown Wausau following Warren Miller’s “No Turning Back”, which just happens to be the famous filmmakers homage to 65 years of mountain culture and adventure film making.

There’s  that magic number 65 again.

THIS is what they want to bring to college

Unknown2730Calling all Badgers, Gophers, Eagles and other academic animals.  There are all kinds of lists telling you what to buy to prepare for dorm living.  (Be sure you bring that fan and some air freshener.)   But when you’ve got your shoe organizer and shower caddy on lock, it’s time to turn your attention to your other must haves.
Luckily, Shep’s has you covered before heading to UW, U of M, Marquette, etc.  Of course everything we stock in our lovely downtown Wausau Outdoor Specialty Store is on your must have list, but these specific goodies regularly go home with the college-bound.  (Check our our Facebook page for coupons and discounts that only our followers know about.  With the savings, you can stock that dorm mini fridge too!)
