A tee, a shirt, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a sweatpant. Thick natural fabric, cut clean, built to outlast trends. No prints, no outside logos — just a tonal degree mark you'll notice and the room won't.
Natural-health pieces that round out a basket — most under C$45, so it's easy to reach free shipping at C$120, add a gift, or go deeper into the daily ritual. Zero plastic, same as the five. The numbered pieces are the other direction: small-batch heirlooms for when you want the best version we can make.
"Clothing from a place that still has wilderness in it."
— The OSSE field journal, British ColumbiaOSSE designs and sews in Vancouver, on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations — peoples who have stewarded these forests, rivers and coastlines since time immemorial, and whose weaving traditions in cedar bark and mountain-goat wool are among the oldest textile practices on this coast.
You won't find borrowed motifs anywhere in our catalogue. Indigenous art appears on an OSSE garment only when an Indigenous artist puts it there — named, credited and paid on every unit. Appreciation, never appropriation.
Each year we hand one garment from the five to an Indigenous artist as a canvas. The artist keeps creative control; we keep the sewing machines running.
Not in the fiber, not in the thread, not in the button, not in the mailer. If it can't return to soil or be remade, it doesn't ship.
A tee, a shirt, a sweatshirt, a hoodie, a sweatpant. Refined every season, never multiplied. Depth over clutter.
Best-grade material at honest margins. No luxury markup theatre, no race-to-the-bottom discounting. The price is the price.
One woven label inside and a tonal degree mark at the hem. If people ask where it's from, that's the marketing.
Synthetic fleece sheds microplastics into your air, your wash and your skin. Ours can't — there's nothing synthetic in it. Dense natural fiber breathes, regulates heat and gets softer with every wash, not balder.
Grown by named co-ops using rain-fed, rotation farming. Soil first.
Solar-run mills spin long-staple fiber into compact, durable yarn.
Cut and finished in audited Vancouver workrooms paying a living wage.
Every garment carries a batch code — trace its full journey before you buy.
Cotton and flax out of the soil. Salt air and the Pacific that tempers every test piece. Wool and cedar from the evergreen coast — and "evergreen" is the promise: never in fashion, never out of it.
The structure under everything. A wardrobe cut down to what holds you up: five garments, thick fabric, nothing decorative. Down to the bone.
Say it like a Canadian. The mark reads the same way — a sun over the sea over the soil: the coast we make on, drawn in three strokes.
Early access to numbered batches, the Artist Series reveal, and material notes from our Vancouver studio. One considered email a fortnight, eh.
