Buying Clothing made in Canada

In short

Inspiring Canadians lists 51 clothing brands that make their products in Canada. They come from 7 provinces and territories, most often Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Examples include Stanfield's, Naked & Famous Denim, Kotn and Devlyn van Loon.

Canada still has working cut and sew shops, knitting mills and outerwear makers, with long-standing garment communities in cities like Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Fabric is often imported even when the cutting and sewing happen here, which is why you will often see Made in Canada with a qualifier such as imported fabric. Checking the tag and the product page together gives you the clearest picture.

How to read Made in Canada labels

  1. 01Check the tag and product page for where the garment was made, not just the brand's home city.
  2. 02Treat "Designed in Canada" as a design claim; the item may be sewn elsewhere.
  3. 03Ask where the fabric comes from if that matters to you.
  4. 04Look for solid seams and spare buttons, and ask whether the brand repairs what it sells.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I buy clothing made in Canada?

Canadian-made clothing supports local jobs and ensures ethical production practices. You’re also getting quality pieces that are often made in smaller batches, with more care and attention to detail.

Is Canadian-made clothing more expensive?

Sometimes—but that extra cost often reflects better materials, ethical labor, and longer-lasting products. You’re investing in quality and making a positive impact on the local economy.

What types of clothing are made in Canada?

Everything from everyday basics and activewear to outerwear, formalwear, and even eco-friendly fashion. We highlight brands that cover a wide range of styles and categories for men, women, and children.

How do I know if the clothing is truly made in Canada?

We only list brands that clearly state their clothing is manufactured in Canada—not just designed here. Many also share info about their factories or local partnerships.

Are there sustainable or eco-friendly clothing options made in Canada?

Yes! Many Canadian clothing brands focus on sustainability—using organic fabrics, recycled materials, and low-waste production methods. We tag these options to make them easy to find.

Is Canadian-made clothing available in different sizes and fits?

Definitely. Most brands offer a wide range of sizes, and some specialize in inclusive sizing. Each listing includes links where you can explore their full collections and size guides.

Does a clothing label have to say where the item was made?

Canadian textile labels must show the fibre content, in English and French, and identify the dealer by name and address or by a CA identification number. A clear statement about where the garment was made is not always on the tag, so check the product page or ask the brand if you want to be sure.

What is the CA number on my clothing tag?

It is a CA identification number, a five-digit number that starts with CA. Canadian manufacturers, importers and sellers of textile products can register one with the Competition Bureau and use it on labels instead of a name and address. It tells you which Canadian business is responsible for the item. It does not tell you where the garment was made.

Can a jacket made with imported fabric be called Made in Canada?

Yes. Under the Competition Bureau's guideline, a garment can be called Made in Canada if at least 51% of its total direct production costs were incurred here and the last substantial transformation, such as cutting and sewing it into a jacket, happened here. The claim should carry a qualifier, for example noting that imported materials were used.

Why does Canadian-made clothing often cost more?

Canadian workshops pay Canadian wages and often produce smaller runs, so the price per piece can be higher than mass-produced imports. Many shoppers find the cost evens out over time when a well-made sweater or coat lasts for years. Thinking about cost per wear, and choosing a few pieces you will use often, is a practical way to approach it.

Can I get Canadian-made clothing repaired?

Often, yes. Many smaller Canadian makers will fix seams, replace zippers or sell spare parts, and some offer repairs for the life of the garment. Policies vary, so ask before you buy and keep your receipt. For older pieces, a local tailor or alterations shop can usually handle common repairs.
