Premium Pigment-Dyed Shirts Since 1979
Our Story
Pier Connection opened its doors on May 20, 1979, becoming the first Canadian importer to distribute high-quality men’s casual wear from India.
In 1980, Pier Connection introduced a unique pigment-dyed sport shirt that quickly became an instant success. As demand grew, Pier Connection focused on refining every detail to ensure long-term quality, consistency, and performance.
Pier Connection continues to produce its signature pigment-dyed shirt—trusted by retailers across Canada for its quality, consistency, and performance.
The craft behind the shirt
Fabric Innovation
Pier partnered with a leading fabric mill in India to develop a custom fabric that delivers both comfort and durability through the intensive washing process required to achieve its signature look.
Premium dye quality
Pigment dyes are naturally unstable, so Pier sources all dyes from Switzerland—providing greater stability and improved consistency across every production run.
Consistency of fit
Each dye color affects shrinkage differently, so every color batch is individually tested and requires its own production pattern to ensure a consistent fit across all sizes.
Responsible production
In 1983, Pier invested with its supplier to build state-of-the-art dyeing and washing facilities under ISO standards, improving quality while reducing environmental impact.
