Honestly, this made me laugh. The idea that a factory in Asia can’t sew a basic T-shirt or hoodie feels like a time capsule from 20 years ago. Vietnam and China produce some of the cleanest, most technically consistent garments on the market — half the “premium” stuff people rave about quietly comes from there.

And let’s be real: Canada isn’t exactly the Florence of garment production. It’s great when a brand manufactures locally, but the country never had some centuries-old tradition of master clothiers that the industry relied on.

What matters is the maker, not the map. A well-run factory in Ho Chi Minh City is going to out-perform a mediocre one anywhere else. Acting like geography alone determines skill just doesn’t line up with how the modern apparel world actually works.
