Outclass

Outclass is a Toronto menswear label run by Matteo Sgaramella, who designs, and his life and business partner Rebecca Sarracini, who handles production and operations. Matteo draws on his Canadian and Italian heritage, pairing Italian styling with durable materials that suit Canadian weather. Everything is made in the Greater Toronto Area. Shirts come from a third-generation, family-run factory in North York, and bottoms from one of the last original factories on Spadina Avenue. T-shirt fabric is knitted in Scarborough and dyed in Ajax, with shirting cloth from mills in Spain, Portugal and Italy. Merino yarn comes from Germany. The clothes are built to be worn for years, not seasons. There's a shop at 343 Roncesvalles Ave.
