PROFILE |
 |
Staking a claim as the country's oldest mail-order company, The Orvis Company (founded in 1856) specializes in the gold-plated segment of the hunting and fishing world. The company sells high-end equipment and apparel for fly-fishing and hunting (including shotguns), as well as home furnishings and gift items reminiscent of country life. Outdoor clothing and accessories account for most of its sales. Orvis sells through catalogs, about 20 company stores in the US and the UK, some 400 independent dealers, and online. It also operates fly-fishing and shooting schools and an international travel service geared toward affluent baby boomers. The family of chairman Leigh Perkins Sr. owns Orvis.
