Penmans Explained
Penmans is a Toronto, Canada-based clothing manufacturer. It was founded as a woolen knitting mill in Paris, Ontario, in 1868.[1] It became one of Canada's largest suppliers of cotton and woolen knit goods, including hosiery and underwear, by the 1890s.[2] [3]
Once known for long johns (which have been discontinued),[1] Penmans now produces sports shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts, and shorts.[4]
Penmans-branded clothing is also sold by Walmart since 2010.[5]
