Western-wear retail chain Boot Barn Holdings Inc. called out strong sales trends over recent weeks and said Wednesday it was “confident” it could handle the world’s trade tensions, but management nonetheless warned of higher costs, price increases and potentially weaker demand in the months ahead as tariffs begin to take a bite.

The company also outlined plans to lean less on China for some production, and said it would cancel orders on items hardest hit by the taxes on imports.
