Notes |
- The John Forsyth Shirt Company Limited was founded in 1903 as a distributor of pins, thread, buttons, celluloid collars and other items. Once established, the company began selling shirts and ties, as well as, other clothing items. In 1908, the John Forsyth Shirt Company purchased the Star Whitewear building at Duke and Young streets in Kitchener. In 1914, it purchased the William Kress Company on King Street South, and in 1916, bought the former Market Hotel, at Albert and Dupont Streets. This buidling was used as a factory to make pajamas and underwear. The company was sold in 1973 and the Kitchener factory was closed in 1996. At this time production move to Cambridge. Today the company is based out of Mississauga.
Today the company offers career apparel, knits and woven, lifestyle sportswear and casual wear, swaters, fleeces, headwear, outerwear, and wind wear. It also offers performance dress, two-pocket uniform, pilot-style, and twill shirts as well as ties for men and women.
