Trimark, a division of PCNA, and Redwood Classics Apparel announce their first Made-in-Canada collaboration. The partnership launches an exclusive fleece collection and upcycled mittens created specifically for the Canadian promotional marketplace, bringing heavyweight styles and reclaimed-textile accessories to distributors nationwide.

Marking Trimark’s 50th anniversary, the collaboration highlights both brands’ dedication to local manufacturing, sustainability, and strengthening Canada’s apparel ecosystem, according to a press release.

“At a time when so much manufacturing has moved offshore, this collaboration is a proud reaffirmation of what it means to be made in Canada,” said Kathy Cheng, president of Redwood Classics Apparel, in a press statement. “Partnering with Trimark expands the possibilities of local production and amplifies the environmental and creative solutions our industry can offer. Together, we’re helping brands bring purposeful, story-driven gifting to life with sustainability-forward apparel that blends creativity, durability, and craftsmanship.”

The 26-oz. Super Fleece Collection, available exclusively through Trimark, allows distributors to experience Redwood Classics’ renowned quality and timeless design. With Trimark’s nationwide sales and service teams, distributors will be able to access and experience these  heavyweight styles.

Also launching are the Redwood Classics Upcycled Mittens (45141). These mittens are handcrafted in North America using reclaimed vintage textiles and Redwood’s signature 16-oz. fleece. Inventory will be available through Trimark in early December 2025.

“Our industry is at its best when creativity and responsibility come together,” said Liz Haesler, global chief merchandising officer, PCNA, in a press statement. “As we celebrate Trimark’s 50th anniversary this year, this partnership with Redwood Classics embodies our belief in purpose-driven collaboration. As a minority- and woman-owned apparel maker with deep roots in sustainable production, Redwood Classics represents our ProudPath values of eco-friendly materials, responsible manufacturing, and owner diversity. We’re proud to partner with them and introduce garments recognized for their craftsmanship and quality. Together, we’re showcasing what’s possible when we unite around shared values.”

PCNA offers both blank and decorated Redwood Classics apparel with a range of in-house decoration capabilities, including mixed media.
