Question 1

What are some Canadian clothing brands?

Accepted Answer

MAPLE & MAIN lists verified Canadian clothing brands across apparel, footwear, knitwear, leather goods and textiles. Each listing carries a published Canadian Score that weighs manufacturing location, ownership, input sourcing and Canadian employment.

Question 2

How do I know a clothing brand is actually Canadian?

Accepted Answer

Check where the garment is made, not just where the brand is headquartered. A brand can be Canadian owned and still manufacture offshore. On MAPLE & MAIN, every listing states its origin classification: Product of Canada, Made in Canada, Canadian brand or Canadian owned, with the reasoning shown.

Question 3

What is the difference between a Canadian brand and Made in Canada clothing?

Accepted Answer

A Canadian brand is designed or headquartered in Canada but may manufacture elsewhere. Made in Canada means the last substantial transformation happened in Canada with at least 51% Canadian direct manufacturing costs. Product of Canada is stricter still, at 98%.

Question 4

Are there Indigenous owned clothing brands in Canada?

Accepted Answer
