Look to NAQP for Canadian-Made Basics

The term ‘Made in Canada’ has long held weight in the clothing world. Whether it’s Supreme‘s legendary heavyweight sweatshirts or Reigning Champ‘s basics, Canadian knitting mills have consistently impressed folks on the hunt for high-quality tees and sweats from skaters to denim heads and beyond.

The latest entry in the Made in Canada pantheon is a range of elevated basics from Calgary-based retailer, North American Quality Purveyors (NAQP). They’ve opened pre-orders for a swathe of Canadian-knit garb, revolving around a trio of sweat, hoodie, and t-shirt silhouettes each available in 8, —yes, 8 — colorways. From classic black, grey, and navy to faded olive, oatmeal, and more, there is something for everyone who likes to tinker in terry or jaunt in jersey.

The sweats and hoodies are made from heavyweight 20 oz. brushed back fleeced terry with tough-as-nails 2×1 ribbing, all flatlocked with four-needle stitching for clean and robust construction. The Tees? They’re cut from 16oz (350 GSM) reverse grain cotton jersey and sewn into a boxy-fitting t-shirt with a singular chest pocket.

Seriously, there is something for everyone here. If you’ve got your tee/sweat game sewn up, there’s a 12 oz. black denim ball cap available for pre-order, too.

Head on over to NAQP to see the collection, which is open for pre-orders starting at $50.
