Backwater Trading Company is an apparel & fashion company based out of 4-6 MAIN ST, Edgartown, Massachusetts, United States. back∙wa∙ter: (noun) a body of water that is out of the main current of a larger body. Back in 2008 we set out to create a space that sold the gear we used in our own active Vineyard lifestyles. For a dozen years, Backwater Trading Company has been selecting from the best the outdoor retail market has to offer. We sell things that we and our friends and families love to wear. From a great pair of white jeans, to a Patagonia jacket for everyone from granddads to granddaughters, to waterproof SealLine dry bags and YETI coolers, we have the whole family covered. We love sharing our favorite things to see and do on the island. Let us know what you need, and we’ll keep you out of the main current.
