Mittens Made in Canada: Makers, Materials and Where to Buy
The Canadian-made mittens in our current catalog are mostly fur and leather. This guide reflects that strength instead of pretending to cover every kind of winter glove.
The three makers below offer different routes: a direct product page from an Alberta fur company, a Quebec manufacturer with leather and fur designs, and a Saskatchewan furrier who works across several natural furs. Material, cuff shape and lining deserve a closer look than broad claims about warmth.

Canada Fur Company

Kings Furs

What materials appear in Canadian-made mittens?
This selection includes leather and several natural furs. The materials are not interchangeable: an outer shell, trim and lining may each use something different. Read the exact product description rather than treating the maker’s full material list as the composition of one pair.
We do not rank these mittens by warmth, waterproofing or sustainability because the reviewed sources do not provide a common test. A maker’s material description and care directions are more dependable than a broad comparison across unlike designs.
How do I choose a mitten size and cuff?
Start with the maker’s own size chart. Measure the hand in the way that chart requests and check whether the listed dimensions refer to the hand, the mitten exterior or a recommended fit. A city cuff, long gauntlet and snowmobile design sit differently over a sleeve.
Fourrures Grenier’s pictured design places separated fingers inside a mitten shell. Kings Furs offers a dedicated size-chart route. If you are between sizes or buying a gift, ask the maker before ordering rather than guessing from a generic glove chart.
What should I confirm before buying fur mittens online?
Confirm the species, whether the fur is outside or used as trim, the lining, cuff length and current stock. Natural variation is part of fur, so colour and markings may differ from the photographed pair. Ask how the maker recommends drying, storing and cleaning the mittens, especially if they will see wet snow or frequent use.
