Buying Clothing made in Canada: what to check
- 01Check the tag and product page for where the garment was made, not just the brand's home city.
- 02Treat "Designed in Canada" as a design claim; the item may be sewn elsewhere.
- 03Ask where the fabric comes from if that matters to you.
- 04Look for solid seams and spare buttons, and ask whether the brand repairs what it sells.
