Proudly Canadian: Celebrating Some of Canada’s Finest Fashion
Trump, tariffs, and 2025 so far have shown us it's time for Canadians to stand together. As one of Canada’s biggest retailers, this is how we practice patriotism and celebrate being Canadian together.
Over 70 years ago in a modest, 500-square-foot space within the sleepy residential neighbourhood of Cabbagetown, Toronto, an individual by the name of Harry Rosen, alongside his brother Lou, opened a made-to-measure menswear boutique to serve the denizens of the bustling city.
One by one, Harry earned the trust of his customers through exceptional service, top-quality product, and an undying ambition to become the best in the business. One by one, men across the city and, eventually, men across Canada, would come to know the name Harry Rosen.
Today, with 18 stores across the country and a burgeoning ecommerce presence across two banners (harryrosen.com and shopfinalcut.com), we’re proud to have remained an authentically Canadian-owned and –operated company, not to mention a family-owned and –operated company (and especially one that exclusively services Canada). Following in the footsteps of our founder, Harry, is his son, Larry, and grandsons Ian and Graham, who continue to lead the company toward a bright future.
As our family business has grown over the years, we’ve been able to support, source, and celebrate fellow Canadian brands that we’ve admired and aligned to our brand values, championing their stories and promoting their products. Nothing has made us prouder than supporting homegrown talent like Canada Goose, Patrick Assaraf, and Samuelsohn, who shine not just domestically, but on the international menswear stage.
That said, while many other retailers and brands are driven by global expansion, we’ve remained focused on our commitment to serve the unique needs of Canadians – and today, that includes highlighting brands displaying Canadian excellence.
Canada Goose: Made in Canada
Established in 1957, Canada Goose began as a modest warehouse in Toronto and has since evolved into a global luxury lifestyle brand known for its high-performance apparel. With a strong commitment to craftsmanship and quality, this global outerwear icon proudly operates seven manufacturing facilities across Canada, representing approximately 20% of Canada’s cut-and-sew industry.
This dedication to local manufacturing ensures the highest standards and supports Canadian communities. Speaking to the Business Council of Canada, Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss famously said, “When people buy Canada, they buy authenticity”.
Samuelsohn: Made in Canada
Founded in 1923 by expert tailor Lesser Samuelsohn, his eponymous brand Samuelsohn has evolved into a renowned and iconic tailoring brand, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and sophisticated style.
Inspired by the cobblestone streets of Samuelsohn’s native city, each suit is meticulously hand-crafted in Montreal, blending traditional tailoring techniques with modern design elements. The result is a collection of fine tailored garments that features premium fabrics, refined silhouettes, and a timeless elegance, ensuring Samuelsohn remains a symbol of quality and innovation in the world of men's fashion for another hundred years.
