Elevate Your Shopping Experience: Way Out West in Davenport and Auburndale
Are you looking to elevate your shopping experience and add a touch of western flair to your wa...
Way Out West started as Wild Wild West in 1987 by Marguerite Carson, who started with nothing more than $400 worth of hats and a booth at a local flea market. Over the years, that small start grew into a thriving Western wear destination in Davenport, now proudly celebrating 38 years in business.
From Marguerite to her daughter, and now to us, Way Out West has always been about more than products — it’s about people. We purchased the business to carry on the family legacy while making it our own. Today, we honor our roots while bringing fresh creativity to everything we do.
We believe Western wear should be as bold and unique as the people who wear it. That’s why we specialize in custom creations — from boots and hats to apparel and accessories. Every piece tells a story, and we’re here to help you tell yours.
We are a husband-and-wife team, passionate about carrying forward a legacy while building something uniquely our own.
For us, Way Out West is more than a business — it’s a calling. Rooted in faith, built on legacy, and dedicated to people, our work is a reflection of everything we believe in.
Susan is the creative force behind our custom hats and apparel. Known for her authenticity and artistry, she brings people’s stories to life through her designs — blending colors, textures, and symbols that reflect each customer’s journey. Her heart for people runs deep: she mentors young employees, supports local causes, and uses her art as a way to encourage and inspire.
Walker is a master of custom boot design, blending craftsmanship and storytelling into every pair he creates. While he prefers to work behind the scenes, his artistry is essential to what makes Way Out West unique. Together, Susan and Walker form a perfect balance: vision and craft, bold creativity and timeless tradition.
Crafted in collaboration with Sheriff Grady Judd, this signature Way Out West hat blends bold Western tradition with a spirit of leadership. Built for everyday wear, yet designed with distinction, it reflects strength, integrity, and authenticity.
