Varsity T-Shirt - Keep it Local
This vintage varsity design inspired tee is printed on our supremely soft 50/50 ring spun cotton and polyester blend. Designed to pay homage to our founding city of Calgary, this piece celebrates that it is a quality made in Canada t-shirt.
We could make our clothing cheaper.
But then we would need to replace our premium fabrics with material that's milled and dyed overseas using toxic chemicals, utilize factories that subject their workers to unsafe working conditions and below poverty wages, and ultimately produce a product that would only last a few wears before ending up in the landfill.
We're not interested in making cheaper clothing. It's not good for you, for the workers involved in the process, or for our planet.
Instead, we choose to make our all of our products responsibly here in Canada, adhering to strict labour and environmental regulations using high quality fabrics and materials all while giving back to community. This results in a higher quality product that is built to last years, instead of months, all while contributing to a better community, and a better planet.
This garment is made from a 50/50 cotton polyester blend.
- Canadian 9oz polyester / USA 6oz cotton.
- Our t-shirts are made with ring spun cotton, giving it a soft and smooth finish.
- Classic fit.

We like the environment, even more than we like newly released garments. The latter shouldn't have to comprise the first. In addition to environmental protection steps we've taken in exclusively manufacturing in Canada, we also carbon offset every order placed online. It's the very least we can do to thank you for shopping online with us.
We're proud to offset thousands of kilograms of CO2 each year.
MADE TO LAST
When you invest in garments made here at home, you’re investing in quality. From high performance fabrics to tailored fits, these aren’t your average volunteer t-shirts that get worn once then disintegrate in the wash.
EMPLOYING OUR NEIGHBOURS
Choosing Canadian is choosing jobs for your family, friends and neighbours. Jobs that pay a liveable wage—plus health benefits—and keep our national unemployment rate low and Canadians happy and healthy.
FIGHTING FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS
If you’re anything like us, you like to enjoy the great outdoors, whether it’s the Rockies, our prairies or coasts. Shopping Canadian reduces our environmental footprint and keeps Canada green for generations to come.
Crazy soft fabric, love the tee. Thanks Local Laundry!
I bought these shirts as a gift to my husband and I (to match) and we find them so comfy we wear them as much as we can. The fact that they brand the city where our family history started and continues, fills us with pride. We have been stopped at the malls with compliments on them. Highly recommended.
My nieces loved the YYC shirts and are proudly wearing them in London, England.
Good quality, more importantly comfortable to wear.
Excellent quality. Great company. Caring leaders. Community supporters. The only downside - not enough in stock to buy more! (Would love long sleeve too!)
