Raber Glove

The vendor's about page says third-generation owner Howard Raber purchased the company in 2004 and runs it as president; it names no outside investor or parent. Corporations Canada's federal registry returns zero results for the name, indicating a Manitoba provincial incorporation; Manitoba's Companies Office could not be checked from this session.

The vendor's home and news pages describe all products as made at its own Winnipeg, Manitoba factory: '100% Canadian-made gloves' and 'an indestructible, 100% Canadian, cowhide mitt.' No other production site is named.

Raber Glove's own and retailer pages name deerskin, cowhide, capeskin and goatskin leathers with acrylic, polyester or wool linings, but no page states which country the hides or linings come from. Because assembly is entirely domestic, hides are assumed mostly Canadian, with a share estimated for the integrated North American hide and tanning trade with the US and a smaller share for imported synthetic lining fabric; this split is an estimate, not a sourced figure.
