Manufacturing
100.0 reportedCA 100%
The site header, page titles, and every product page checked say made in Canada, the 2024 year in review names a Vancouver manufacturing space, and the 2025 review says the company is expanding its Canadian manufacturing to Ontario and Quebec. The vendor does not name its sewing factories or the sock knitter, so the split between BC and other provinces is unknown and the claim rests on the vendor's own statements plus a madeinca.ca listing.

The core fabric is 80 percent post-consumer recycled wool melton, and the 2024 review says the company travelled to Pakistan and Italy to source material from global waste and supply chains, which points to imported recycled wool cloth rather than a Canadian mill. Sail totes, oyster tray buttons, and offcuts are salvaged in BC. The split is an estimate; the vendor names no mill and no fabric origin, and the sock yarn origin is unknown.
