The phrase "Made in Canada" in the field of fashion garments has become a lot popular in the past few years. It signifies the premium quality it has developed over the recent years, and Vancouver is also home to number of Canuck brands which are thriving on this association.

Located between the Pacific Ocean and North Shore Mountains, Vancouver is home to some of the most popular exports in Canada like Reigning Champ, Arc'teryx, Herschel Supply Co. and wings + horns, to name a few. The cultural footprint of the city might be overshadowed by its American neighbors, but that hasn't hindered Vancouver from developing an opulent fashion scene of its own: one which specializes in Japanese imports and low-key, utilitarian gear.
