Founded in Montreal in 1919, Peerless Clothing is now the largest privately-owned manufacturer of men's tailored clothing in North America. Today Ryan talks to VP & Creative Director Eric Jennings about Quebec’s National Day, masks as essential fashion statements and, in these challenging times, of the importance for brands to stay focused on serving communities. The company recently partnered with two non-profits to donate $1 million worth of new tailored clothing to help men and youth in need prepare to get back to work. Eric also looks at the future of tailored clothing in a post-pandemic world, including innovations such as anti-viral clothing.
