We’ve Got You Covered

You’re covered. In fleece, in merino wool, in premium insulations, in comfortable fabrics that wick and warm. These are the secret to dressing well for Wisconsin winters. The clothing selection at Shepherd & Schaller will surprise you, especially if you think we’re only about skiing.

It starts with base layers. Non-itchy Merino wool naturally helps regulate body temperature, transports sweat away as a vapor, and cancels out odors.

More than 70 premium clothing and shoe brands are here to give you a huge selection of performance-focused styles. You’ll feel like you’re shopping in a trendy Rocky Mountain ski village, only at much lower prices.

We start next to skin and go all the way to outerwear.

Underwear & Base Layers
Socks, Shoes, Boots
Shirts, Sweaters, Fleece
Pants, Shorts, Skirts, Dresses
Jackets, Coats, Snow Pants
Hats, Mittens, Face Masks
Rustic, Dressy, Sporty, Serious: all are represented.

Pendleton is just one of the heritage brands stocked at Shepherd & Schaller.

Surprise! In addition to ski jackets and pants, we also offer elegant and rustic styles that will take you from work or school to dinner, performing in all kinds of weather. Our trend setting shoes, boots and booties in weather-proof materials complete your outfit . You can work, play and party in clothes and footwear you find at Shepherd & Schaller.

Just a few of the awesome 2019/20 styles in store from Sorel. Come see dozens more from EMU Australia, Chaco’s, Salomon, Thorogood, Pendleton and more.

What about kids? Young ones, size 2T- size 16, are covered in performance outerwear at Shep’s. Jackets and pants they’ll love and you can pass down for years.

We Love Your Look

To outfit and inspire those passionate about the outdoors and who value durability and quality craftsmanship. That’s the mission of our Clothing department at Shepherd & Schaller.

Living the outdoor lifestyle might mean you’re on the first chairlift, you log 100 miles on the bike each weekend, hike and paddle Superior’s North Shore often, love to explore the woods for work and play in all weather. It can also mean you prefer indoors, surrounded by rustic decor, visit the ski area just for a seat by the chalet fireplace or venture outside only for walks in the dog park. No judgement here. Dressing for comfort and performance wherever you spend your day is a style all it’s own. It’s a look. And we love it.

Kuhl Brand. We dare you to shop it without saying “cool!”

We hold our brands to a high standard, just as you expect. To be exceptional stewards of our store values and community, demonstrating integrity, quality and pride. Delivering premium, durable, bold timeless fashion.

Each season we put every brand we stock under a microscope. Is their manufacturing chain transparent? Are they good stewards of the environment? Do they participate in initiatives that support quality of life? Do they use organic and recycled materials? Do our customers love what they buy?
