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.

The brand, part of the Richlu family, 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.
