as a Simons house brand and what exclusivity means","entries":{"simons_184_year_old_quebec_roots":"Simons has been a family-run Canadian department store since its founding in Quebec City in 1840, and I.FIV5 was launched as its in-house men's activewear line — meaning this polo comes from a retailer with deep regional roots that curates its own labels to reflect a particular Québécois design sensibility rather than relying solely on global brands.","price_point_evolution_from_8_65_cad_in_2015":"At launch, I.FIV5 was positioned as an affordable activewear line with prices spanning $8 to $65, whereas this golf polo lists at $89 (sale $39.95), signaling that the brand has expanded upward into more technical, sport-specific pieces — so the buyer is accessing a more design-evolved tier of the label.","i_fiv5_name_origin_the_high_five_celebration":"The brand name 'i.fiv5' was directly inspired by the high five gesture, a visual shorthand for celebrating achievement, as confirmed by the creative director at Bleu Blanc Rouge — so wearing this polo carries a subtle, positive connotation that sets it apart from purely descriptive sports branding.","design_inspiration_playing_fields_real_and_imagined":"The visual identity of I.FIV5 draws from both real athletic fields and imaginary ones, as stated by a Simons buyer at the brand's launch, giving the collection an aesthetic that merges sport functionality with creative flair — a point of differentiation from the straightforward performance look of many golf polos."},"entry_quotes":{"simons_184_year_old_quebec_roots":[{"url":"http://marketingmag.ca/brands/bbr-gives-maison-simons-i-fiv5-7646","quote":"Maison Simons was founded as a fur store in Quebec City
