Irvine Tack & Western Wear

Canada’s largest western store is a must-see for enthusiasts and travellers just moseying through. The family-run business is 60 km (35 mi) north of Calgary, just off Highway 2. It’s open seven days a week and, with 140,000 square feet of retail space, offers plenty to see and marvel at. Since 2001, Irvine’s has been the place to visit if you’re looking for western apparel, rodeo gear, a new saddle or even an arena chute. There’s even an impressive selection of apparel, housewares and gift items for those looking for souvenirs. (Who wouldn’t love a steak branding iron?) Serious horse people will find everything from grooming supplies to horse toys, roping supplies, cinches and straps. Those looking to dress the part can browse the extensive selection of hats, boots and buckles. Either way, you’ll find everything you need at Irvine’s.
