Made in Canada: Why Local Production Matters to Us
At The Sleep Shirt, we’ve always believed in doing things the right way, even if it’s not the easiest. One of those decisions? Keeping our production local. From the very beginning, we’ve chosen to design and manufacture our garments right here in Vancouver, Canada.
We make Canadian-made sleepwear, loungewear, and ready-to-wear that’s thoughtfully produced and built to last. And we think that matters.
Supporting Skilled Local Manufacturing
We work with skilled garment makers in Canada, people who understand natural fabrics like linen and cotton and take pride in creating quality pieces. Many have decades of experience in the garment industry.
Choosing Made in Canada clothing means supporting those jobs, investing in our communities, and keeping craftsmanship alive. It also means we know exactly where and how our clothes are made.
Better for the Planet, Too
When your clothing is made just a few provinces away instead of overseas, it reduces shipping emissions and cuts down on waste. We produce in small batches to avoid overproduction and we use remnant fabrics in our Precycle Collection.
By choosing locally made pyjamas and nighties, you’re supporting a lower-impact, more responsible kind of fashion.
Ethical Sleepwear with Transparency
We’re a slow fashion brand, which means we don’t follow trends or pump out weekly (or even monthly) collections. We focus on timeless shapes and high-quality fabrics so that your sleepwear lasts a lifetime. When you buy from us, you’re getting ethically made sleepwear produced under fair working conditions with no fast fashion shortcuts.
Yes, it often means our prices are higher than mass-market brands but that’s the true cost of making things well, fairly, and locally. And we believe that’s worth it.
From the best-selling Short Sleep Shirt to our signature Classic Sleep Shirt, every piece is made with intention, not excess.
Why It Matters
In a world of fast fashion and outsourced everything, making clothing locally is a meaningful choice. When you shop from The Sleep Shirt, you're choosing quality and responsibility.
We're proud to be part of a small group of fashion brands still committed to making things close to home. So when you slip into one of our soft cotton nightshirts or floaty linen nighties, know it was made in Canada—with care and purpose.
