Our Story

Proudly Canadian. Passionately Creative.

We’re two entrepreneurs brought together by a shared love for creativity, collaboration, and Canada. From coast to coast to coast, this country has shaped who we are—resilient, resourceful, passionate, and always ready to roll up our sleeves and build something that truly matters.

Canadian, Eh was born from an incredible piece of art - a series of embroidered scenes depicting our little part of Canada. An idea was shared - imagine Canadian art and life embroidered or printed by Canadians, on 100% made-in-Canada clothing. How could we not?

Canadian Eh is more than just a brand—it’s a celebration of what it means to be Canadian. From the quirky to the iconic, we weave our identity into every thread, stitch, and design.

Who are we?

Early in his career, he realized he was really good at helping people understand things. Whether it was promotional materials and swag, clothing and decoration, printed products, marketing, leadership, wellness, or even the financial industry, he was able to help people and organizations move forward successfully. Robbin brings an authentic, people-first mindset and a sharp eye for quality to everything he touches. Under his leadership, Thread Illustrators continues its legacy—offering expert embroidery, screen printing, twill, and digital transfers—while playing a key role in delivering the craftsmanship behind every Canadian, Eh product.

Our Process

  • 1. Sourced Locally, Made to Last

    We proudly partner with Canadian apparel manufacturers who believe in quality, sustainability, and supporting local communities—just like we do. Every item begins with a responsibly made blank, crafted on Canadian soil to ensure it meets the standards our customers (and country) deserve.

  • 2. Designed by Canadian Artists

    Every piece we produce tells a story—yours, ours, and Canada's. We collaborate with a growing community of Canadian artists whose work reflects the culture, humour, and beauty of life in the Great White North. From bold illustrations to subtle nods to nature, our designs are as diverse and vibrant as Canada itself.

  • 3. Crafted in Our Studio with Pride

    Once the designs are ready, the magic happens in our very own studio. Using embroidery, screen printing, and heat press machines, we decorate each piece by hand with precision and care. It’s where creativity meets craftsmanship. We consider stitch direction, thread colour, design size and design techniques for each item, It’s where Canadian pride gets infused into every garment.
