Why it belongs in ORBIS
Vancouver, BC label reproducing vintage American athletic wear from the 1930s-1960s - fleece sweatshirts and sweatpants cut and sewn in Canada, using loopback terry and mock-twist yarns sourced from Japan, with period-accurate labeling and finishing.
National Athletic Goods is a sportswear label designed in Vancouver, British Columbia, drawing its aesthetic from American athletic wear of the 1930s through 1960s. The brand keeps production domestic to Canada and sources high-quality mock-twist yarns and loopback terry fabrics from Japan, using a distinctive yarn-dyeing process. The result positions the brand within the broader loopwheel/heavyweight-fleece revival trend, though made domestically in Canada rather than Japan.
