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.  

This CBC Transmitter Tower design was pieced together (painfully) from a handful of old photographs that local Sackville folks had of the historic CBC transmitter towers that used to stand in the marshlands bordering the small maritime town.

We tried to be pretty meticulous about getting the lines and detail the best we could in this illustration from some distant and fuzzy photographs, and we're thankful for all those that stepped up and shared old pictures they had so we could create this homage to old landscapes of the past. 

 

What is lightweight CVC?

Our lightweight CVC tees are made from 60% North American grown cotton and 40% high quality recycled polyester. 

Please note: Golden Yellow tees are 100% cotton. 

Our fabric choice prioritizes garment longevity as the fabric retains its shape and will not stretch out after washing.

The CVC blend also gives the tee a super soft feel with pliability and movement that ensures all-day comfort.

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 lightweight unisex tees are a classic fit (not boxy), with tailored sleeves and flattering silhouette. They are true to size.

If you're in between sizes, we recommend sizing up.

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!

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).

How are Signature tees and Made In Canada Tees different?

Our Signature Lightweight CVC tees are a cotton/recycled poly blend with a fabric weight of 145 gsm (4.3 oz/yd²).

The Made in Canada midweight tees are 100% combed cotton jersey with a slightly heavier weight of 300 gsm (9 oz/yd²).

Both styles are a CLASSIC CUT and have a TRUE TO SIZE FIT.
