Souvenir apparel programs for Waterton Park retailers

Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season

More than 540,000 people passed through the Waterton Lakes National Park gates in 2024, the second highest season on record, and October alone set a new record of 27,000. The townsite is a few blocks of shops, outfitters and cafes on Waterton Avenue and the lakefront, and most of them close from October to May. Cowichan designs already sell here, so the reorder pattern is known: one big spring order, one mid-season top-up, done.


What sells on Waterton Avenue

Waterton is bighorn sheep on the road, bears on the trails and wind off the lake, with the Prince of Wales Hotel on its bluff as the postcard. Our wildlife designs cover the bighorn, grizzly and black bear, and our artists localize each one with the Waterton name and the hotel silhouette. The Peace Park link with Glacier gives you a second wordmark for visitors crossing from Montana.


Getting stock in before the gates open

Ground courier from Vancouver reaches southern Alberta in about 2 to 3 business days. Because the town opens in May and closes in early October, the spring order has to land in April, and a July top-up covers August and the growing October shoulder. Reorders go through your rep. We plan the build with you in March so the first delivery is on the shelf the week you open.

Questions

What Waterton Park buyers ask

What is the minimum order for a Waterton Park shop?

Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Waterton Park shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.

How long does shipping to Waterton Park take?

2 to 3 business days by ground courier from Vancouver to Alberta. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.

Can the designs say Waterton Park?

Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Waterton Park. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.

How do reorders work?

Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
