Subject: Made in Canada
To whom it may concern.
I`m looking to purchase clothing and accessories that are made in Canada , I came upon this website
http://www.canadianmade.com/retail_clothing.shtml
I see your store is listed there but, after going to look at the clothing to my surprise most is 'Made in China "
Thanks for taking the time to read this email hopefully we`ll find Made in Canada clothing at your stores in the near future.
