Part of the Richlu family, the brand began with a bold mission; that being to protect workers from the elements. At the time of Tough Duck's establishment, Canada was in the midst of constructing its electrical grid and railway system, which, as you well know, would expose any workers on these projects to the ever changing, sometimes extreme, Canadian weather patterns. Tough Duck has pushed boundaries in workwear— evolved designs, perfect materials, and stayed ahead of the ever-changing demands of customers.
Every piece of Tough Duck gear is built to deliver on what matters most: durability, functionality, and of course, the confidence to tackle anything. Tough Duck Workwear is more than just tough clothing. Heritage is woven into every single stitch, with a sheer dedication to creating garments that outlast the job, and stick with you long enough to witness when you tell the stories of yours, and your clothing's resilience. As they've said, at Tough Duck, they don't just make apparel, they make gear that's built to last, built for life, and built for you.
