Someone asked me a fair question in the comments. Are there any parts of our clothing that aren't made in Canada? Here is the honest answer. The only thing we physically cannot do here is grow the cotton. Our climate will not support it at an industrial scale. We can grow h**p, though h**p is hardy, a little scratchy, and not what most people want against their skin. We also do not have the mills to produce fabric at volume at a price the average person can afford. We can absolutely do it here, the cost of is simply higher. Everything after the raw cotton happens on Canadian soil. Dyeing, knitting, cutting, sewing, milling, printing, all of it. That is what actually looks like in practice. On our programmes we offer Canadian manufacturing whenever the budget allows. Sometimes the budget does not allow, and that is okay. We only work with overseas partners who meet strict labour and environmental standards, because a still gets to have standards. You get a great garment either way. Knowing exactly where your gear comes from before you order is the kind of every buyer deserves. 25+ units, email [email protected] or start at locallaundry-custom.ca Thank you! 🇨🇦

Kristin zitman The Special Olympics Canada Summer Games wrapped up last week in . Athletes came in from across the country to compete. Someone commented on my last video to say she was on the Canada team and won gold in her game. Her first time at nationals. That is a heck of a way to start. I want to hear more stories like hers. If you competed, coached, volunteered, or watched from the stands, drop it in the comments. Tell me which event, who you were there for, and what the moment actually felt like. put on a serious week of sport and the results deserve a lot more eyes on them. None of it happens without the coaches, volunteers, and families behind every athlete. Congratulations to everyone who showed up and went after it. I will be reading every single one of these. Thank you! 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 Someone commented that Carhartt isn't what it used to be. I'm not piling on. I still wear Carhartt and I still think they make great gear. You can respect a brand and still want something built specifically for your team. That is usually why companies call us. The off the shelf piece is close, not right. They want the pocket moved. They want a hood on the quarter zip. They want a colour that matches their brand instead of one that almost does. We are a that builds to spec, so the piece starts with your team rather than ending in a compromise. options when the budget allows it, strong global options when it does not. Every programme we build starts with a conversation, not a catalogue. 11 years in and the best briefs still open with "can you make this, but with...". Solving that is the most fun part of . 25 units and up, [email protected] or locallaundry-custom.ca. Thank you! 🇨🇦

When we moved into our very first warehouse, we had absolutely nothing. No racking. No desks. No money. So I did what I always do. I posted on LinkedIn and I asked for help. I said if anyone has extra office furniture or warehouse racking, we will take all of it. Within a couple of days that warehouse was full. That moment taught me something I still carry with me every single day. is not about having every answer. It is about being willing to ask out loud. The community fills the gap every single time. This city does not just support local, it builds local. Then the trust started showing up in bigger ways. Calgary Wild FC. Rocky Mountaineer. The volunteer merch for the Grey Cup Festival. Hundreds of other organizations across this city trusting us with their . That is what running a here actually looks like. is the reason any of this worked. Put yourself out there. You will be surprised who shows up. Thank you! 🇨🇦

A Canadian apparel CEO mailed me a box, so I opened it on camera. I sent James at Wuxly some Local Laundry gear a few weeks back. This is what came back. A parka, a puffer, and a toque. I put the whole kit on immediately because it is that good. Here is the thing about clothing right now. There are not many of us left. The easy move is to treat every other Canadian brand like a threat. The better move is to root for them. Wuxly is building outerwear the right way, and I want them to win. That is not charity. That is how a real industry grows. 11 years into this, the founders who helped me most were never the ones I was competing against. is mostly knowing who to build with. We build programmes for companies and teams, and almost everything good we have made started with a conversation exactly like this one. Shoutout to James and the whole Wuxly team. Being an in this country is a lot easier when you are not doing it alone. Thank you! 🇨🇦
