Canadian Character, Steadfast Style: Fullum & Holt



Fullum & Holt was established in 1897 in Old Montreal . While applying their trade in creating leather goods, a group of Canadian craftsmen began to make an assortment of leather goods consisting of  spats, garters, armbands and braces under the company name Arrow Liberty & Garter.
In 1914 the company was awarded contracts with the Canadian Armed Forces to supply military belts and harnesses for the Cavalry. Investing their resources wisely,  in 1946 the company built an 80,000 sq.ft. factory on in Montreal at the corner of Fullum & Holt... thus the brand was born. The factory now sits under a 300 ft. skylight employing over one hundred skilled workers and craftspeople operating with the same spirit and fundamentals that the company was founded on over a hundred years ago.
