Built On The Waterfront.

From the docks to the print shop, 1630 Apparel was built by workers who believe quality, community, and hard work still matter.
Who We Are

Who We Are

1630 Apparel was founded by waterfront workers who wanted to create something different. We saw too many unions, businesses, crews, and organizations forced to choose between quality, affordability, and service. We believed they deserved all three.

Built By Workers

1630 wasn't created in a boardroom. It started in a closet, and was built between dispatches, night shifts, overtime hours, and weekends. The same work ethic that moves cargo through Canada's ports now drives every order that leaves our shop.

Why We Exist

Why We Exist

A SHIRT CAN DO MORE THAN CARRY A LOGO... It can represent a crew. Support a cause. Fund a program. Bring people together. We believe apparel should create impact long after the order is delivered.
