Hi there,

Im actively looking for garments that are 100% Canadian made as to appease a small niche market that feels Canadian manufacturing is equatable to increased quality.

I came across this Canadian Apparel Federation that seems to exclusively feature Canadian brands. If anyone knows what this federation is and how it operates would be great.

CAF is basically a trade organization. I think this PDF offers a pretty good overview of what benefits they offer to members: http://public.apparel.ca/_static/web...lish_final.pdf

As for Canadian-made garments, there are quite a few companies that you can check out:

jericosport.com

kingfashions.com

wearblank.ca

fairlinesportswear.com

Gildan also has a factory in in Montreal as well. Not sure if the entire garment is made in Canada. They also have several other factories.

Gildan had huge subsidy grants from the Quebec provincial government to manufacture t-shirts in Canada. They produced a Made in canada Gildan 2000 shirt that sold at a substantial premium. The 10 or 20 year subsidy ran out recently and Gidan shut the plant down and moved it all offshore again.

Good Luck
