We’ve recently completed an expansion of our embroidery department at our Hunter River facility, doubling our embroidery capacity heading into summer with additional machines now installed and running 🪡

This expansion helps us keep up with growing demand for embroidered hats, fleece, workwear and merch for our customers. Embroidery continues to be one of the most popular decoration methods we offer thanks to its durability, premium feel and professional finish.

A big shout out to our friends at Easy Breezy Run Club in Halifax on the launch of their first merch drop 👏

It was a fun one to help bring to life. From the washed purple hats to the relaxed, hand-drawn style, this collection feels “easy breezy” in the best way possible.

Always cool getting to work local brands that are building community. If you’re in Halifax, keep an eye out for these hats and hoodies around the city this summer 🏃💨

Pretty special one for the team here... we were excited to work with legendary PEI singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Lennie Gallant on merch for his latest tour.

One of the highlights was bringing this piece inspired by his iconic PEI classic Peter’s Dream to life, a song that was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019.

An Island icon through and through, Lennie’s career has earned 19 East Coast Music Awards, multiple Juno nominations, Canadian Folk Music Awards, Music PEI awards, and a Prix Éloizes Award.

We always love seeing island stories and culture turned into apparel that people can wear proudly 👕

Caught in the wild 📍

Josh from AnchorView.Media behind the lens in Fredericton, rocking our limited edition Halifax Launch Party tee from last fall.

Josh was on-site with us back in September, capturing the energy from our Halifax open house and the launch party at Good Robot Beer Garden.

For the event's keepsake tee, we went with the Comfort Colors heavyweight pigment dye t-shirt for its oversized, relaxed fit and its broken-in retro feel right out of the box

This tee was a proven best seller through 2025, and one we see continuing to lead in both fit and finish this year for our customers. Done right, event merchandise isn't just a one off tee, it can become the go-to shirts that people keep coming back to:
