What are some Canadian clothing retailers?

List of clothing distributors/retailers

• My partner and I have started a company that sells t-shirts which feature artistic prints (as opposed to company logos). Our shirts encompass street wear and surf wear styles in mens and womens rages. The mens range is produced in sizes up to 6XL. We are located in Melbourne, Australia, though our t-shirts are being manufactured in Singapore. We wish to export our shirts to the USA, Canada and the UK. We are having trouble sourcing lists of importers/distributors & retailers to approach. We need to have email addresses or websites for them as the time difference proves tricky. The actual question at this stage is as follows: Please provide us with a set of the below lists for each country (US, UK & Canada). 1. Clothing Importers/Distributors 2. Retail chains of Surf/Street wear (they stores need not be exclusively dedicated to these) 3. Retail Chains of big mens clothing. (ie stocking sizes of XXL on up) As mentioned before we must have email addresses or website addresses. We believe each list should be a minimum of 50 contacts. Though this is negotiable through the comments section if this proves impractical. There is no maximum number. We would appreciate it if the lists are broken into major stores/companies first, followed by the rest at the discretion of the researcher. We are happy to negogiate through the comments section if you need further information or you have suggestions for us. If you consider that you are able to do this but do not think that the fee is enough to cover your time please tell us as we are happy to negotiate.
