Since 2008
our story
Ole Originals is more than another 100% Canadian t-shirt company. We’re a group of outdoor enthusiasts who love to travel and collect experiences. No matter where we are, we celebrate where we’re from.
We feel lucky to be Canadian and we love sharing that feeling with our original retro graphics that are inspired by travel, culture, wildlife, and the places we love across Canada.

Our Roots are Here
WE ARE LOCAL
From the very beginning, Ole Originals has been all about being local and “supporting local”.
We have raised funds for the Union Gospel Mission, a charitable organization in our hometown of Vancouver, to help them provide meals and support for those struggling with homelessness and addiction.
For the last two years we have supported the North Shore Rescue, a volunteer community-based search and rescue team providing a life-saving service to the public.

YOU CAN FEEL IT
QUALITY
Believe it or not, there was a time when it was difficult to find a well-made, quality t-shirt. That’s when Ole (pronounced OLEE) was born.
All our products are hand selected for optimal quality and if you ever have any problems with an item, we’ll take care of it.
DOING IT BY HAND
THE STUDIO
In 2021 Ole Originals moved from their original cozy Cambie Street studio to the heart of brewery row in East Vancouver.
Each Ole Originals limited edition print is still hand-pulled with care on a single-head manual press but now we have more elbow room.

Very nice, soft t-shirt, and fantastic customer service! Received a t-shirt as a Christmas gift and one of the threads came loose in the dryer. They sent a brand new shirt to replace it - all the way to the States where I live! Will definitely buy more from them in the future.

I just wanted to thank your for the amazing service and quality of your products. Always love the t-shirts I buy from you. My son will too when he returns home at Xmas for the holidays from school in Ontario! He'll proudly wear these when he goes back, you can be sure.

I am a grandma, buying 4 “matching shirts” for the grandkids, 2 boys, 2 girls. The cousins always want to “match” 😊😊
Our entire family wears your shirts. We LOVE them and get non-stop complements!

Wow. This is incredible customer service! Especially when it was not your problem that the shirt didn't arrive but clearly a mail problem. I will not only continue to support purchasing from your company but will wholeheartedly be spreading the word to friends and colleagues.

Fantastic products and incredible customer service! I initially visited the shop in Vancouver over two years ago, and everything is in as good shape now as when I bought it. Ordering again recently I received friendly and attentive replies updating me on my shipment from Canada to the UK. All their clothes are so well made, plus the hoodies are the comfiest I've ever owned!
