About Tough Duck
Trusted Since 1939
From day one, we've been committed to quality and durability, earning the trust of hardworking Canadians for over 85 years and across three generations.
Founded in 1939 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Tough Duck was born to craft apparel that stands up to the toughest jobs, the harshest climates, and every adventure life throws your way.
Our journey began with a bold mission: to protect workers from the elements. As Canada built its electrical grid and railroad systems, Tough Duck was there—shielding workers from snow, sleet, wind, and biting cold. Our gear quickly became a symbol of reliability, trusted by those who get the job done.
Decade after decade, we’ve pushed boundaries—evolving our designs, perfecting our materials, and staying ahead of the ever-changing demands of our customers. Every piece of Tough Duck gear is built to deliver on what matters most: durability, functionality, and the confidence to tackle anything.
But we’re more than tough clothing. Tough Duck’s heritage is woven into every stitch, with a dedication to creating garments that outlast the job and tell a story of resilience. We don’t just make apparel; we make gear that’s built to last, built for life, and built for you.
At Tough Duck, we build legacies. It’s in our DNA to deliver apparel that endures—because when you wear Tough Duck, you wear the promise of quality, reliability, and a brand that’s been by your side for generations.
