Pre-dating Confederation, Stanfield's was founded in 1856 by Charles Stanfield and blossomed during the Klondike Gold Rush as the premier manufacturer able to keep the gold panners warm and dry during the harsh Canadian winter climate. Our commitment to quality, craftsmanship and to Canada is unwavering and continues to drive Stanfield's into tomorrow through innovation, dedication and pride in being Canada's brand. Yesterday's story built for tomorrow. An entirely natural and renewable fibre that brings comfort and softness to another level. Our merino collection is moisture wicking, odour resistant, breathable, temperature regulating, flame retardant, stain resistant, and anti-wrinkle. This base layer is made from soft, warm merino wool that is combined with a moisture wicking polyester for one of the most durable and versatile base layer fabrics on the market.
