Our Story Is Our Philosophy

The J. Peterman Company has been traveling the world for over 30 years in search of the unique, the unusual, and hopefully, a few things that help make our lives a bit less ordinary.

When we started, we broke all the rules. Our “Owner’s Manual” catalogue only featured one item per page, we used paintings of items versus photography, and each item was accompanied by intensive romantic copy. These were all things the “experts” said we couldn’t do.

Our customers have always felt like the J. Peterman Company was their personal little secret. Some have even said it’s like a cult. I love that.

J. Peterman represents an aspirational lifestyle. Our selections enable our customers to feel transported to a world full of travel, adventure, and romance; a world where the uncommon journey creates the memories we cherish most. The company’s history is rooted in this aspiration and we try to live up to it every single day.

I’ve always said that we took the road less traveled.

I have a feeling that’s exactly why you and I found each other.
