Product Insights
The Rugged Roots T-Shirt from Country Liberty, rooted in Rexton, NB with a $400 startup and carpenter co-founder, earned Dragons' Den backing and is adopted by Canadian country artists, co-branded with Molson, Bell, and Simons. Stocked in 200 Canadian and 75 US stores with 150k Instagram followers, the brand publishes a commitment to ethical sourcing. The tee features pre-washed faded jersey in unisex sizing, reinforcing an authentic country image, and is an exclusive collaboration through Simons' Le 31 label, merging East Coast rural ethos with Quebec design heritage. The unisex cut is relaxed; slim-fit and women typically size down. The single-jersey knit is more breathable than woven cotton. However, 100% cotton may shrink 3–8% in warm water, so cold wash and air dry are recommended. At 45 CAD, the pre-washed cotton and relaxed fit make it a smarter promo-tee alternative.
