Stanfield's — 166 Years of Woolens and Workwear

One of Canada's oldest continuously operating clothing companies, built on reliability when clothing literally helped Canadians survive winter.

Stanfield's wool clothing and thermal wear

Stanfield's is one of Canada's oldest continuously operating clothing companies — founded all the way back in 1856 in Nova Scotia. Known originally for its rugged wool garments and warm underlayers, Stanfield's built its name on reliability during an era when clothing literally needed to help Canadians survive winter.

Over generations, the brand became famous for its thermal underwear, wool base layers, and durable workwear, earning a loyal following from outdoor workers, farmers, hunters, and anyone living through Canada's long cold seasons. Their products are still made with a focus on warmth, longevity, and traditional craftsmanship.

Stanfield's is a cornerstone of Canadian manufacturing — they continue to produce much of their clothing at their original Truro, Nova Scotia facility. In a world of fast fashion, Stanfield's stands out by sticking to what works: wool, warmth, and the kind of quality your grandparents trusted.
