FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I get prices/place an order?

As we are the actual manufacturer, we generally sell our product to our distributors across Canada, who then stock our garments for wholesale companies. Each of our distributors carries a selection of our product in colours they choose. Due to the large volumes they purchase, a distributor will always be your most economical and fastest way to purchase garments from our collection in wholesale quantities.
However, if you are simply looking for one or two pieces direct, we are pleased to introduce our new Retail Collection - a selection of our best sellers, shipped direct within two to three business days.

Retail Return/Refund Policy

We stand behind every garment that we produce. Orders are verified prior to shipping as far as style, colour, size and quantity. If you are dissatisfied with your retail purchase, simply contact us to arrange for return and refund. We shall accept back any of our products (excluding masks & clearance items) in the same new condition that they were sent in, within 30 days of receipt. Due to the personal nature of the garment, masks may not be returned and all masks are non refundable. (We shall not accept garments that have been laundered, printed, embroidered or otherwise altered) If you would like to return a garment purchased in error, simply send it to our address and a refund will be issued within two days of receipt. Please note: Cotton is a natural fibre and shrinkage will occur when the garment is initially laundered. We ask that you check the size specifications prior to ordering to ensure you are allowing a shrinkage tolerance on the size requested. Please follow all care and content instructions provided on the label. Clothing that has been returned laundered will not be refunded.

Is your clothing Cross Border Friendly?

Yes. Every garment in our catalogue is Cross Border Friendly, 100% Made In Canada. Our Distributors are each provided with a complete set of border documents, including Certificates of Origin and commercial invoices, at the beginning of each calendar year. These documents are valid until replaced the following year. Please contact your preferred distributor for a copy of these.



Clearance Items

From time to time, we will list discontinued or flawed stock for clearance. These items are listed as first come/first serve--final sale. There are no returns, refunds or further discounts to be applied on clearance items. Due to the natural properties of cotton, there are times when the dye will take differently to a batch of fabric. Though there is nothing 'wrong' with the item, you may see shading differences between different sizes, styles of the same colour. As our distributors generally purchase full size ranges, we need our colour to be as consistent as possible. When this doesn't happen, you save! This fabric is the same content and quality as our standard material.
