Nice!Sharon TakerI like the black sweater, I want one!Danielle EffiongFrom what I can see, I like them. I think they are the best ones ever. Good job :)Lorraine DeanI don't hate them. They are just rather bland.Marv PlattenI like them. Well done HBC!Aaron CornboroughI like the scarf!Véronique Laurence MarchildonLooking great! Go! CANADA! Go!Petra AlexanderI like the solid red jacket- for the women. The beaver scarf is cute and I like the lower left corner black hat...with the flaps. Would be perfect for the mountain.Terri Rafs MooreThere was some discussion about where the clothing would be made.
Like, hope they're made In Canada!Andre HouleShould be made in Canada apparel onlyKaren PopadynetzNo..don't like the black or the fact the area made outsude Canada. Nothing Canadian about it. Boycott!Aileen StaffordI got the gloves already so warm....also everything is made in China these days!!!!!Mary ElizabethI'm sure we will buy some 'swag' at some point. To those refusing to buy them if not made in Canada, I'd be interested to see what clothing you wear! Very little fabric is made in Canada (even if some of it is assembled here).Sue Mollins-Hamilton
