Corrine Hunt X Burton X Granted

We are excited to show our pride by providing our athletes with athletic winter wear from an actual snowboard brand that truly says, “I am Canadian”.

The Grateful Dead X Granted
The Grateful Dead are a seminal part of American culture and rock & roll history. The brainchild of John Mayer, we collaborated to create two ultimate Grateful Dead sweaters inspired by the iconic marching bear and Steal Your Face designs. John's love for the band really came to the surface as we fine tuned his ideas and details for these sweaters.A fashion devotee, John is a known collector of knit sweaters. Not only does he collect, but "John really appreciates the details that go into one of our handcrafted pieces, the sophisticated hand knitting technique we use really connected with him." Says Brian, head honcho at Granted. The end result is two incredible sweaters with fully different impressions; vibes I’m sure would be a proud addition to any Deadhead’s ensemble.

We jumped on the opportunity to work with Skull Skates again. This time PD was looking to change up the original sweater design from 2010.

Corrine Hunt X Granted
First Nations artist Corinne Hunt is best known for the medals she designed for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, held here in Vancouver and Whistler, BC. She is an accomplished artist who works mostly in metals and wood and we were thrilled to work with Corrine on this sweater.
On The Aboriginal Peace Sweater there are two ravens facing one another on the front. They are energetically recalling the spirit when all we were saying is give peace a chance. The colours: red cedar; grey smoke rising from the ashes; and sand for the beaches that welcome the canoes. More details on artist Corrine Hunt here.

Star Wars X Granted (Experimental)
Being a huge fan of the Star Wars movies, I was very excited to work on this design. I went with the famous forest battle scene between the Ewoks and the AT-ATs walkers and used repeating trees throughout the sweater. I came up with the howling Ewok idea from the howling wolf t-shirts that I see everywhere these days. See the full sweater here.
This sweater cannot be put into production because of trademark restrictions. This was created as another example to show what kinds of custom designs we can do.
Official Vancouver Canucks X Granted

Canucks X Granted (Experimental)
This was another one-off design made for a friend who is a die hard Canucks fan. When we posted it on our blog it went viral. Within a year of its release, a representative from the Canucks organization contacted us for an order. Watch out for the new Canucks sweater, going in stores in the fall of 2010.
Official CBC Heritage Sweater X Granted
We designed this sweater, featuring the iconic CBC logo and zig-zags representing analog radio waves, for our brother-in-law who lives in England. We knew he grew up watching and listening to CBC programming, and we wanted to give him a special connection to home. He loved the sweater and was happy for the nostalgic gesture.
Though we blogged about the sweater, trademark restrictions prevented us from offering it for sale. That is, until CBC Radio 3's Grant Lawrence noticed the sweater. He was very excited about the sweater and provided us with great exposure on air. Now, once considered the unofficial CBC sweater, the rest is history as we're pleased to offer this one-of-a-kind hand-knit piece as the official CBC sweater! Available for purchase here.
Official David Suzuki Sweater X Granted
David Suzuki, Co-Founder of the David Suzuki Foundation, is an award-winning scientist, environmentalist, broadcaster and Canadian icon. He may be best known for presenting the complexities of the natural sciences in his radio and television programs, but to us, he's a local man who's dedicated to making the world a better, greener place.
This was one of our first experimental sweaters. We were curious to see how complicated knitting could get and learned that intarsia knitting, or "picture knitting", has no limitations. Days after posting a photo of the completed sweater and blogging about it, an employee at the David Suzuki Foundation contacted us. We produced a limited run of these sweaters with partial proceeds going directly to the David Suzuki Foundation. More details here.
