Founder
The company credits Clem Gerwing with founding the Calgary business in 1978; this is a historical role, not a current ownership claim.
Clem Gerwing founded Alberta Boot in Calgary in 1978. The business describes bootmaking in its Calgary workshop, and its custom-boot page explicitly connects made-to-measure work to that location. That is stronger evidence for the custom offering than for every item sold by the brand; the selected ready-style page does not separately name its production country.
The JR Fletcher provides a concrete starting point for someone comparing western boots: the page describes oiled cowhide, a square toe and a roper heel. Its outsole information is inconsistent between the description and feature table, so ask the maker to confirm the specification before treating either version as settled.
Custom boots involve a consultation on fit, leather and design rather than choosing a size from a standard listing. The custom page also gives differing lead-time estimates in separate sections. Request a current quote and schedule, especially for an event. Canadian shipping is offered, but the published policy excludes PO boxes; current size availability remains a checkout question.

Founded in Calgary in 1978. Its custom page identifies Calgary-workshop manufacture; the exact production country of the selected JR Fletcher ready style is not separately established.
Start with the garment label, then choose the layer.
Stanfield’s offers everyday underwear and wool layers from a long-running Truro manufacturing business. The two selected listings explicitly carry Made in Canada labels; that evidence does not cover every item in its catalogue.
