The terms of service name the operator as Stanfield's Ltd. at 1 Logan Street, Truro, and the company history describes a family business passed from Charles Stanfield to his sons in 1896 with no later sale. The CANADA List and madeinca.ca both call it Canadian-owned. Corporations Canada returns no Stanfield's Ltd., so it is a Nova Scotia provincial corporation; the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies could not be read from this shell, so current family control is the vendor's account only.

The site's product filter marks 95 of 147 products as made in Canada, and those product pages say made in Canada with the Truro mill as the only address. Other lines are labelled imported, for example the cotton woven plaid boxer marked imported from China. The split is by product count, not revenue.

Product pages give fibre content (cotton and polyester blends, wool and nylon, nylon and spandex) but never the origin of the yarn or fabric. Knitting and finishing for the Canadian lines happen at the Truro mill, while raw cotton and most synthetics come from outside Canada, so this split is an estimate. The store runs on Shopify, a Canadian platform.
