We've partnered with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) to create our own original series of CBC branded graphic tees. The CBC was the first nationally-owned broadcasting company created to support and promote Canadian-made media content to a diverse and ever-changing nation, and this remains to be their mandate to the present day.
Select CBC designs are inspired by vintage historical photographs of CBC crew and production tech taken throughout the country and shared by @archivesrc
This tee shows a mobile reporting crew with their gear preparing for the official opening of the Saint Lawrence Seaway between Montréal and Lake Ontario in 1959. The Seaway was recognized as an incredible feat in engineering, allowing massive industrial cargo ships to traverse the waters for the first time. It was a huge public event, presided over by Queen Elizabeth II herself, as well as as the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Special thanks to the @archivesrc Instagram account for making these pieces of history accessible to the public.
Fabric Details
- Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton or cotton/recycled polyester blend (CVC).
- Pre-shrunk
- Relaxed fit
- Side seams
- Tear away label
What is lightweight CVC?
Our lightweight CVC (Chief Value Cotton) tees are made from 60% North American grown cotton and 40% high quality recycled polyester.
The CVC blend also gives the tee a super soft feel with pliability and movement that ensures all-day comfort.
Our fabric choice prioritizes garment longevity. We use our chosen fabrics for their softness, durability, and the way they hold their shape no matter how many times you wash them.
Please note that we also carry a Made in Canada line of tees that are cut, sewn, and milled in Ontario. If you prefer 100% Canadian, please go here!
Sizing Tips
Our Signature Lightweight women's tees are true to size with a relaxed fit, tailored sleeves and slightly tapered waistline.
We recommend choosing your regular size for a comfy fit.
If you prefer a looser fit or baggier look, you can size up.
If you like a more fitted tee, go down one size for a nice silhouette without being too tight.
Washing Guide
WASHING TIPS:
- Wash in cold water
- Pre-washed to reduce shrinkage.
- Machine wash, tumble dry low
- Wash inside out to maintain longest-lasting ink quality
Factory Accreditation
Our regular stock of unisex blanks are supplied by Next Level. Their factories abide and/or are certified with the following:
- Global Recycled Standards (GRS)
- Fair Labor Association (FLA)
- Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WARP)
- Partners with Better Work, a collaborative initiative between the United Nations' International Labor Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to respect labor rights for workers.
Sustainability
We use home-compostable, zero-waste Hero mailers or recyclable cardboard envelopes for all our orders.
We print all our tees to order, which drastically reduces textile waste (we have virtually no 'wasted' inventory).
We do not source any of our blanks from overseas. Overseas shipping is a massive contributor of CO2 emissions in the textile industry.
We are also a part of Shopify Planet program, where a portion of revenue from every sale goes towards funding innovative carbon-removal projects around the world. We are involved in soil and reforestation projects. Read more here.

When will I get my order?
We hand print all of our tees and make all of our items to order. Typically, we work on 1-2 print lists a week, which means we compile all the orders over a certain time period and get them printed and out the door.
This means it usually takes us about 5-12 days to get a tee pulled, printed, and packaged.
Our processing time also factors in time for supplier delays (waiting on blanks that we have run out of in the studio) or minor equipment damage (such as a tear on a silkscreen).
If we ever experience a significant delay on an order, one of us (probably Monica!) will reach out to you to explain the issue and problem solve.
In any circumstance, we do our very best to keep production running smoothly so that we can get your order out to you in a reasonable time frame!
We very much appreciate your patience and for choosing small-scale and hand printed!
Where are your products manufactured?
Our Made In Canada tees are milled, cut and sewn in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). They are crafted by Redwood Classics Apparel(unisex) and Jerico (women's).
Our Signature Line tees are manufactured in California (Bella and Canvas brand) and South America (Next Level brand). Both of our Signature Line brands have multiple factory certifications for socially and environmentally responsible production. You can read more here.
How are Signature tees and Made In Canada Tees different?
Our Signature Lightweight women's tees are a cotton/recycled poly blend or 100% jersey cotton (depending on colour) with a fabric weight of 145 gsm (4.2 oz/yd²).
Our Heather Black, Navy, and Slate Blue tees are CVC 60% cotton and 40% high quality polyester.
Our Cream, Green Leaf, Pale Blue and Red tees are 100% airlume combed and ring-spun jersey cotton.
The Made in Canada midweight women's tees are an organic cotton, rayon from bamboo and spandex blend with a slightly heavier weight of 220 gsm (approx 6 oz/yd²).
Both styles are a RELAXED CUT.
The precise measures are slightly different. Please refer to the size charts and sizing tips for each style to get your preferred fit!
Why aren't your tees cheaper?
We are always happy to be transparent about our pricing. !
- Better fabrics and better made garments. Cheap fabrics stretch out very quickly and don't bounce back after washing. They can tear and thin out. We choose only to use premium quality fabrics and cuts that don't pill or stretch out, so that you get what you pay for in terms of durability and longevity (5-10+ years of wear - we're on year 8 with ours!)
- Best-in-class inks. Cheap inks crack and peel over time. We use only use the highest quality water-based inks (Permaset) so the prints won't ever peel or crack like most cheaper plasitols or heat transfers.
- We make sure to source our tees from companies with environmental and social certifications so there is fairness and less ecological impact when it comes to manufacturing; our made in Canada tees are the highest price point simply b/c there is no externalizing costs at any point in the chain.
- Lastly, we design and hand print every tee as well in house as a family-operated and artist-run business. Thus we also have overhead as a studio rather than just having a warehouse with stock.
Where can I see more of Nick's art?
Nick started off his career as a glass artist. Before starting Blackhare, he worked as an artist-in-residence at Toronto's prestigious Harbourfront Centre and also as a studio tech and contributing designer at Jeff Goodman Studio in east Toronto.
You can check out some of his glass here.

Like all Blackhare t-shirts comfortable to wear and this one is funky in a ‘remembering our camping days’ more fun than the classic Blackhare high art t-shirts. I sort of think of my collection as ‘art’, Canadiana, and fun and funky. All great.

Love my Jay tee!
I’ve been eyeing this beautiful design for over a year now. I finally caved recently and purchased it and happy I did. I always struggle with women’s online sizing. I ordered the XL based on the size chart. It fits great and the fabric feels great on. For me the fit is more relaxed but not too relaxed. I most likely could also wear the Lrg if I wanted a more fitted look.

The fit is comfortable and true to size. I always receive compliments when I wear it and I highly recommend Blackhare to anyone who admires it. Customer service is top notch as they respond promptly with helpful info. I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Love this shirt!
Such a great shirt! I'm wearing it right now. Really nice print, high quality, soft, well-fitting shirt, can't say enough good about it. Every time I want to treat myself, a Blackhare tee is my go-to.

My Teen's Favourite T's
My hard-to-shop-for teen absolutely loves Blackhare T-shirts for how soft and comfy they are, as well as their super unique designs and the fact they come in a unisex fit! (She gets asked at school about where she gets them.) I love them because she loves them, plus the customer service is exceptional! (Thanks Monica!) We highly recommend the Bee t-shirt. She's received so many compliments on that one!

Best fitting shirts I have ever bought. I have bought 5 and will continue to buy more. Really hoping your artist will one day soon have a pig shirt for me.

What's not to love?
So soft, so comfortable! My cheeky 'cheeseburger' chickadee tee fits to a T and washes beautifully Always soft, this sassy design is a mature graphic that speaks to my playful side. Can you tell I love it?
