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.

  • FABRIC INNOVATION

    We partnered with a leading fabric mill in India to develop a custom fabric delivering comfort and durability through washing 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.
