Ely Cattleman

Ely Cattleman is a legendary American western wear brand, rooted in cowboy heritage since 1878, seamlessly fusing tradition with contemporary flair. Renowned for durability and quality, their snap shirts, jackets, and vests—crafted under labels like Ely “Cattleman,” “1878,” and “Cumberland Outfitters”—serve men, women, and kids. With breathable, vented yokes and classic fits, their apparel suits ranch hands and casual trailblazers alike. Ely Cattleman delivers affordable, authentic pieces that embody the timeless cowboy spirit for today’s adventurers, staying true to their legacy of excellence.

The Results

Metacake launched Ely Cattleman into the ecommerce era by building their first-ever direct-to-consumer (DTC) store on Shopify Plus, setting a strong foundation for growth. In a tight timeframe, we designed the entire online experience from scratch, tailoring it to reflect the brand’s rugged western identity, and developed the store with customizations to meet their unique needs. Alongside the DTC channel, we implemented and launched a B2B wholesale platform, streamlining sales to retailers and outfitters. The result was a seamless, successful debut that blew past sales expectations, thrilling the client and establishing a modern, flexible base for Ely Cattleman’s DTC and wholesale ambitions.

“The team is professional, has countless experts, and they are well organized and kind. When every other business choice presented countless challenges, Metacake found a way to make this process straightforward and as simple as possible.”
