Defending Awesome

Get your Canada Day tee today Mon June 29 or Tues June 30. We will be closed Canada Day and will NOT be at the market this year.

Today marks 14 years of Defending Awesome! 🎉

From our humble beginnings at the selling tie-dye tees and our own branded shirts, to becoming a full print shop in the heart of Banff — what a journey it’s been.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us along the way. We wouldn’t be here without our amazing community.
