Commonwealth (CMFG) is Winnipeg-made from start to finish. CMFG specializes in handmade collared shirts, utilizing fabrics with all natural fibres only. Made in Winnipeg's historic garment district with fabrics from reputable mills around the world. Shirts are made in small batches with a thoroughness that runs counter to the fast fashion industry. Each product is designed to be simple, versatile and enduring. Transparently made to empower consumers to make informed decisions about their wardrobe!
I've spent the last eight years of my life completely fixated on one specific niche in the sewing world - collared shirts! What started out as a simple attempt to fill my closet with a handful of hand-sewn shirts has snowballed into a career that I am thrilled to have. I am continually motivated to make clothing that people can be proud to own. I'm convinced the best way to do that is through transparent production, from supplier information to pricing to process methods. If I can take pride in making something, hopefully others can take pride in owning it!
