Canada mentioned!

I put together a handy guide to Canadian clothing brands.

Some things I learned:

• Arc’teryx is owned by a Finnish company which is in turn owned by a Chinese company.

• Roots was acquired by a U.S. private equity firm ten years ago but it has since gone public and is listed on the TSX. It’s still owned, operated, and incorporated in Canada.

• Drake’s OVO brand (lol) makes some products in Canada, which is somewhat surprising.

• Lululemon is founded and HQ’d in Vancouver but is incorporated in Delaware so is legally structured out of the U.S.

• Sorel boots was bought by Columbia sportswear 25 years ago after it went bankrupt.
