Throat Threads Apparel was first established as a neckwear company by Russ Fearon who designed the world’s first “casual tie”. The concept was born from a personal need to wear a tie that went with more of a fashion dress-down look. The world was in the beginning of the real dress/casual movement. Through this building process in classic entrepreneurial style, Russ capitalized on his idea and enthusiasm to build on his success, drive and values to deliver to the Canadian market many new exciting brands and products. Today the company is very proud to market themselves “a Canadian leader in the fashion industry”, as a Marketing, Sales, Distribution company. We have many accomplishments including being one of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies 5 years in a row, recognized in Profit Magazine. We have established partnerships with some of the world’s most famous fashion brands and we continue to seek new ideas and brands, along with examining the marketplace with professional in-house trend experts to maximize the Canadian opportunities in the fashion industry.
