About US
Founded in the heart of downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Champlain emerges as a welcomed beacon in contemporary menswear. Renowned for its distinct fusion of West Coast casual and metropolitan elegance, Champlain embodies the essence of sophisticated modern tailoring.
Champlain
Champlain was cultivated from the widening gap between casual and professional. Founder Jonathan Richard experienced this through the lens of his consumers in bespoke tailoring and suiting. Clientele no longer required the traditional suit and tie, yet also couldn't thrive professionally and socially in the burgeoning waves of Athleisure and High Fashion. This established the desire for well tailored menswear, equally impressive at Wednesday's lunch meeting, attractive for Saturday night cocktails, and suitable for sailing in the Broughtons. Inspired by fashion classics of the past, Champlain has designed unique pieces that bring forward a sense of nostalgia while allowing modern application in the new age of fashion.
Welcome to Champlain.
Champlain is the belief in more than just fashion; but the wardrobe tailored to a lifestyle of individuality and authenticity. Champlain invites you to explore a world where tradition meets innovation, and where each garment tells a story of craftsmanship and commitment to excellence.
