Manufacturing
96.0 reportedCA 95% · other 5%
The careers page states plainly: "At Frank Lyman, 95% of our fashion is made in Canada," produced from the company's 125,000-square-foot head office in the Montreal area, which the about page says handles "the creation of its collections and its production." The remaining 5% is not attributed to a country, so it is allocated to OTHER as the conservative default rather than assumed to be EU or US.

The company describes a single production and design campus in the Montreal area employing "hundreds of local fashion specialists and tradespeople," which is where the bulk of headcount sits. It also says it maintains unspecified satellite offices and showrooms in other countries to serve its 65+ country boutique network; without a headcount for those offices this card estimates a small non-Canada share rather than treating the business as single-site.

Neither the about, careers, nor products pages name a fabric mill or textile country of origin, and the store locator and news pages add nothing on inputs. Canada's own textile-milling base for woven and knit apparel fabric is small relative to its cut-and-sew sector, so this card infers that most fabric is imported, mainly from outside the CA/EU/US buckets, with a minority domestic or US share; this is a judgment call, not a documented figure, and is the one factor this card could not verify.
