Tee fabric is spun and dyed in Canada, but the vendor separately says it imports fabric from Asia and the United States for its Canadian production, and that Nepal wool is spun and dyed locally rather than imported. The 25/15/60 split across these vendor statements is this card's estimate, not a published figure.

• Made in Canada Tees · the vendor's own site “using fabrics that are also spun and dyed in Canada”
• Sustainability – Ambler Mountain Works · the vendor's own site “We do import fabric from Asia and the United States for our Canadian production.”
• Made in Nepal – Ambler Mountain Works · the vendor's own site “We keep as much of our supply chain in Nepal as possible... we spin and dye our wool in Nepal instead of importing finished yarn and felt.”
