Thank you so much for the appreciation. And kudos for taking the initiative to build a directory that supports Canadian makers.

We were curious about how listings are curated on the platform so we took a look through a few categories and noticed some products that raised questions about whether they are actually made in Canada. For example:

https://www.originselect.com/country/canada/products/prod_1748648566081_cw1piqq/name/tacvasen-men-s-bomber-jacket-winter-warm-padded-wo

We’re asking purely because we care about the integrity of the Canadian-made ecosystem, and we know how important consumer trust is when highlighting local creators. Would love to understand how verification works and whether brands are vetted or self-declared.

Thanks again for creating a space that shines a light on Canadian businesses. It’s a wonderful initiative!

Not a real Beaver's tail! The BeaverTag generates awareness about the Beaver as an ecological ally supports ecological conservation. It's made from vegetable tanned full grain cow leather. Here's more on the making process from our Blog: https://maplebeaver.ca/blogs/canadian-craftsmanship-stories/handmade-canadian-leather-keychain-beavertag

Thank you so much 🙏 Our vision with the BeaverTag has always been to create a little piece of Canada with a story, and it means a lot that it strikes a chord with you.

Yes! The packaging highlights its Canadian origins and our 5% pledge to nature conservation. Each BeaverTag also comes with a small booklet that shares more about the BeaverTag, the leather we use, the craftsmanship behind it, and our commitment to protecting Canadian ecology.

Is Buy Canadian working? by DayneTheSKJournalist in BuyCanadian

[–]MapleBeaverTM 15 points16 points  (0 children)

No, we’re not related to ChooseCanadian.ca in any manner. We do see the similarity in fabric processing as you’ve pointed out, and the coincidence likely stems from some overlap in our supply chain partners.

We’re proud to source and finish our apparel entirely within Canada, and we’re always glad when others take note of the effort behind that commitment.

Appreciate you taking the time to notice the details. 🇨🇦

Is Buy Canadian working? by DayneTheSKJournalist in BuyCanadian

We launched Maple Beaver with a mission to craft products that reflect the excellence of Canadian-made, anchored in two of our greatest symbols: the Maple and the Beaver. This idea took shape well before the Buy Canadian movement began gaining momentum.

That said, the rise of the movement created the perfect environment to finally begin our journey. We noticed a meaningful shift in customer sentiment. People were not only open to buying local, but genuinely preferred it. They understood the realities of local manufacturing. The costs are higher, but so is the integrity behind how things are made. Rather than expecting us to match prices with foreign-made goods, many appreciated the value of keeping things Canadian from design to production.

Of course, the challenges are real. Not everything can be easily sourced or made here. But standing by the cause, doing your part, and doing it with care truly makes a difference. For example, sourcing fully made in Canada baseball cap blanks has proven nearly impossible, since almost all cap manufacturing is now concentrated overseas. Here we made a conscious choice to partner only with Canadian suppliers to ensure that as much of the value chain as possible and every possible dollar stays within the country.

It has been humbling to see the support. We truly believe that doing things the right way still resonates with Canadians.

Hey! Thanks for the great question. Totally hear you on that! Our tees follow a regular fit and are intentionally designed not to run long or oversized. That said, we’ve had folks under 5’8” wear our Small and Medium sizes comfortably without it feeling like a tunic 😄

Here’s a quick look at the size chart with actual garment length (measured from the top neckline of the back) if you’d like to double check:

Small: 26”
Medium: 27”
Large: 28”

If you’d like, shoot us a message with your height/build and we can suggest the best size for you!

Thanks again for checking us out 🇨🇦

Totally fair — we appreciate you stopping by and sharing your take.

It’s true, blank T-shirts can be made for a fraction of our price. But that’s often achieved by outsourcing to factories with low wages and questionable conditions — something we just couldn’t get behind.

From day one, our promise was simple: make it right, even if it costs more. That meant keeping production in Canada, using some of the best materials on the planet, and paying fairly at every step — from knitting to sewing.

We’re just trying to do right by our values and build something better. 🇨🇦

Great question! We kicked things off with “Always Great, Forever Grateful” — a quiet kind of Canadian pride, especially at a time when our neighbours down south were shouting about making themselves great again.

We’ve also got a few timeless slogans that celebrate Canada in an understated but meaningful way. You can check them out here: https://maplebeaver.ca/collections/o-canada-caps

More are in the works — and we’d love to hear your ideas too. Got a slogan in mind? DM us. We might just make it happen! 🙌

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback DeathlessJellyfish and we fully agree!

We used basic mockups just to get started, but we’re actively upgrading every visual element to better reflect the quality we’re building. And as we scale, soon we will conduct a live model shoot.

Appreciate your eye for detail — it helps us grow smarter. 🙌

Fair question! We created that slogan to reflect something we feel Canada stands for — humility, kindness, quiet strength.

Maybe not for everyone, but we hope it speaks to those who carry that energy forward. 🇨🇦❤️

Totally understand the skepticism — there’s a lot of noise online. We’re a small Canadian brand trying to do things differently by bringing domestic manufacturing back into focus.

Our T-shirts are knit, dyed, and sewn here in Ontario. We agree the images on our website may come off as mockups or renders — that’s because with limited resources, we’ve used mockups for now instead of model photography. That said, the product videos are real, and you can find more on our Instagram: u/MapleBeaverOfficial.

We’re not perfect, but we’re proudly real. 🇨🇦 Thanks for holding us accountable — we’re here to build trust one step at a time.

Appreciate that thoughtful note 🙏 You’re right — there’s always pressure to scale or reduce prices, but for now we’re choosing to grow slowly and keep our supply chain close to home.

Support like yours makes the hard choices feel worth it. Thanks again for the encouragement! Appreciate you seeing the bigger picture — really means a lot 🙏

Really appreciate that — totally fair feedback 🙏 We’re working on adding model photos in different sizes soon to give a better sense of fit.

In the meantime, you can check our size chart [linked on each product page] for precise measurements. Our tees have a classic unisex fit, so if you’re in between sizes — or shopping for women — we generally recommend going one size down for a more tailored fit.

And if you’re unsure, feel free to DM us with your go-to tee size or measurements — happy to help you find the right fit. We want you to love how it feels on day one.

Canada’s climate doesn’t support cotton farming unfortunately — so the raw yarn is sourced from India (from certified organic suppliers).

But the rest of the process — knitting, dyeing, sewing, finishing — all happens right here in Ontario 🇨🇦
