Made Here
We make clothes.
Here, at our HQ-factory in Victoria, BC, we actually make clothes. Reducing waste and emissions and properly compensating the talented humans that make your goods.
Breath, water, food, shelter, and clothing—these are the foundation of human needs. At ECOLOGYST, we make clothing and we take great pride in fulfilling this essential. It is only recently in human history that we have become disconnected from who actually makes our clothing and how and with what it is made. Restoring this connection is our work and fundamental to how we contribute in restoring harmony between people and the planet.
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment; it seeks to understand the vital connections between plants and animals and the world around them. We have taken this all-encompassing approach to our work over the past twenty years of studying the clothing ecosystem. This ensures a respect for all that are part of the given system.
Materiality
We use responsibly sourced, natural materials to create clothing that is built to last.
Materials matter. By focusing on natural materials, we are able to avoid harmful practices that contribute to the microplastics problem, and consider the many stakeholders across our supply chain
Welcome to our factory, where we value connection over consumption.
A new way of manufacturing clothing that you can see with your own eyes: connecting customers to makers.
We see possibility here.
A start-to-finish process in one space: dream, ideate, design, sample, produce, ship (or be picked up by you from our on-site shoppable showroom). Plus repairs to extend the longevity of your gear, so you can opt-in to fewer pieces, more favourites for life.
Organic Cotton
Our comfortable, durable organic cotton meets some of the most stringent social and environmental criteria in the world.
Approximately 1% of the total cotton supply is organic. This breathable material is also softer than conventional cotton. It avoids some of the most harmful chemicals throughout the supply chain, so you can feel good about what’s next to your skin.
Woven Wools
We offer three weights to perform for all seasons and scenarios.
From our 9oz washable wool to our heaviest 23oz wool, each fabric is selected based on certification, durability, quality, hand feel and source of materials.
