Jesse Brown’s has been outfitting for adventure for 41+ years and as people decompress from gift giving, receiving & overall shopping we’d like to remind of our outfitting basics.  Keeping you comfortable in your outdoor endeavors.
After Christmas is a great time for that with Sales.  Currently we are having a Winter Clearance Sale on Warmth and Dryness.  That’s a focus on Coats & Jackets, Fleece and Sweaters. 
Come on by either location and enjoy some savings; while being prudent in knowing you’ve got items with which you can build a long relationship.

Jesse Brown’s Outdoors has been outfitting people for adventure, excursion & activity for 41+ years.  During that time the way that shoppers celebrate Christmas has changed.  When Jesse first began the store Christmas was a huge shopping time of the year.  Gifts for outdoorspeople have always been in fashion.

 
Now with the emergence of the mega big box stores and marketing blitzes that barely let the consumer breath before being driven to the next e-commerce sight or mall it is time to get back to our outdoor roots.
Jesse Brown’s is an outfitter.  Whatever you like to do, want to do or dream to do outdoors we want to help.

Don’t let your Christmas shopping end indoors.  Let it start there….then get out.

 

 

The Sunday before Labor Day many of the Jesse Brown’s crew got together with friends and family (as many did around the nation) to celebrate. 

These pictures feature those that work at JB’s & those that work with JB’s in helping encourage people to get outside and appreciate being active.  We hope you’ll do the same!  ……….jb

Hey Mr. Bartee, Wow, What an adventure! I can’t thank you and Jesse Browns enough for outfitting me. All the gear did awesome. It exceeded my expectations and helped me stay warm, cool, safe. and dry the entire trip. I have included some pictures of the trip above. A lot of the peak pictures I have a helmet on ( Outward Bound rules) but I wore the hat everyday. It got faded and looks like a professional mountaineer’s hat.

Hope all is well with you and your family and I look forward to hearing from  you soon.

Thought of the day from Jesse Brown’s:

Remember, “The sweetness of low-price will be overtaken by the bitterness of poor quality.”             ~classic old adage

-Monday hike Cliffs, Combes, and stately Homes. We hiked up and down the cliffs. The valleys are combes.  We hiked down to this beach to eat our lunch then up this side. See the path. All day we went up and down. Love,  Windy

-It was hard hike today but beautiful along the cliffs on the east toward France . We stopped in on the National Coastwatch station. They are all volunteeers like Clover Firemen. This Dartmouth is where D Day trained and Armada and the Mayflower.  Queen E met Prince Phillip here when she was 13 and he was a cadet at the Naval Academy.
