In 1982, the Simon brothers recognized the need for coordinate "tops" to match the "bottoms" that their company was already producing. The manufacturing of these "tops" was handled by the other Canadian companies under the "Krickets" license.
In 1987, the company decided to make their own "tops" (in knit) and a small plant of 11,000 square feet in Montreal was used for this purpose.
The head office is currently in Montreal, with a location of 52,000 square feet. All administrative offices, design, receiving and shipping of merchandise and inspecting of clothing is done at the head office on Chabanel Street.
All Krickets sales have been backed by a socially conscious marketing strategy. Various promotional items have been used throughout the years - gifts with purchase, "Krickets" watches, hairpieces, sunglasses, crayons, coloring books, balloons, activity books and educational kits.
Made-To-Fit Garments Inc. is celebrating its 61st Anniversary this year. This Canadian Company currently employs more than 100 people. Krickets is proud to be a Canadian-styled line and of Canadian quality.
