Questions? Leave a comment below! About Canvasbacks: Milwaukee-area women long have known the company's warehouse sales, and the Canvasbacks' company store, as a place to buy overstocks and samples from the line at about 30% of the retail price. The company was started in 1978 by Janice Lutton and Kathy MacDougall, neighbors in Whitefish Bay who made needlepoint pieces for Christmas bazaars. Soon the women were creating their own designs and incorporating them into jumpers and vests. At its peak in the mid-1990s, Canvasbacks was selling clothing to 900 specialty stores across the country and reached about $8 million in annual sales. Yes, Canvasbacks clothing is still around, though it appears to be less widely available than it once was. While the brand's peak in the mid-1990s saw it selling to 900 stores, that number has decreased, and sales have also declined. However, Canvasback Waterfowl Company continues to operate and offer a range of apparel designed for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly those interested in waterfowl hunting. Additionally, Canvasbacks clothing can be found on resale platforms.
