They became particularly popular in the 1950s and 1960s, associated with the rebellious styles of bikers and rock 'n' roll culture.

What Makes it Vintage?
- Made in Canada
Canada-made clothes are strongly correlated with being vintage, and they are known for their high-quality raw materials, clean style, and durability.
- Single Tag
The double tag was common by the end of the 90s, so clothes with only one tag indicate a pre-2000s manufacturing.
- Embroidered Tag
Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.
Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
