Our Changing World! small steps for the environment.

At Teckelklub we’ve always believed in making quality
products in North America. While the majority of our competitors
manufacture
overseas and sell mass market, we know quality beats quantity. We still
see
our original Trench jackets from 1998 walking the trails of Vancouver
and that
makes us proud! Built to last. When you invest in quality, locally-made
products, rather than disposable they make a big impact - less
greenhouse gas emissions caused by the pollution involved with shipping
from overseas, less oil used, and you're helping to employ a local
workforce rather than offshore unregulated labour.
“A small shift in consumer thinking does make a big
difference. Instead of buying a lot for very little, we could buy less and
spend a little bit more, knowing that the extra capital goes to ensuring safe
working environments and fair wages. This movement is making a difference in
the fashion industry, where consumers are encouraged to buy quality over
quantity. You get what you pay for.” [Esther Rogers, Editor Misc.]
