About Bear & Bone:
Did you know Bear & Bone is based on Quadra Island, BC?
This whole thing started in 2019 with a hand-me-down sewing machine and fabric scraps from my mom, who’s been sewing and quilting her whole life. I worked on the business slowly while living in the city and watched it grow bit by bit.
In 2021, my fiancé and I moved back to my hometown and onto my parents’ homestead. That’s when my mom and I really decided to take Bear & Bone more seriously. With her skills as a lifelong seamstress, she jumped in to help bring my ideas to life, and we’ve been working together ever since.
Reusing and recycling materials has always been the core of what we do. We love taking something old — or something that was originally made for a totally different purpose — and turning it into something new, wearable, and useful.
At Bear & Bone, our pieces are designed to be comfortable, easy to wear, and long-lasting. Think an oversized tee turned into your new go-to dress, or pants that feel like pyjamas but still look put together.
Simple, practical, sustainable — thats Bear & Bone.
Who is 4byfarm?
4byfarm Apparel — the official merch line inspired by my husband’s YouTube channel, 4byfarm, where he shares real rural living, fishing adventures, and hunting stories from the heart of the rugged canadian coast. These shirts were created to support his channel and the lifestyle we love.
Each design is crafted by Bear & Bone and printed through a high-quality print-on-demand supplier. Our tees are made from 100% premium cotton and are guaranteed to hold up for 50 washes, giving you comfort and durability.
Proudly, Slow Fashion:
Slow fashion is all about making and buying clothing more thoughtfully. It prioritizes quality, durability, and reducing waste instead of producing large amounts of cheap, disposable clothing.
At Bear & Bone, this philosophy guides everything we do. Every women’s piece in our handmade collection is made to order, crafted with care for comfort, longevity, and timeless style.
-
Clothes are made in smaller batches or on demand, not mass-produced.
-
Materials are chosen carefully, often reclaimed, recycled, eco-friendly and from top quality fibres.
-
Skilled makers are involved in every step, rather than rushed factory workers.
-
Every step takes time, ensuring thoughtful design, solid construction, and minimal environmental impact.
For our men’s, lounge, and hat collections, we work with trusted print-on-demand partners, which lets us avoid overproduction, minimize waste, and offer unique, sustainable designs without the excess of mass manufacturing.
Why Made-to-Order?
At Bear & Bone, we focus on slow, intentional making. Yes, each of our items is made-to-order, which means it’s created only after you place an order.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
-
No big piles of inventory. Items aren’t mass-produced or sitting on shelves.
-
Made just for you. Your piece is cut, sewn, printed, or assembled specifically after your order comes in.
-
Less waste. Producing only what’s needed avoids overproduction and leftover stock.
-
Custom flexibility. Small adjustments or personalized details are possible when it comes to our handmade pieces.
-
Attention to detail. Makers can focus on each piece individually instead of rushing through mass production.
What this means for you?
🤍 For our handmade items: 1 - 2 week lead time before garment is shipped (customizations available)
🤍 For our Printed on demand items: 2 - 5 day lead time before garment is shipped
In short, made-to-order fashion is personal, ethical, and built to last. Your item isn’t just another product on a shelf — it’s thoughtfully created for you, which is better for both you and the environment.
No matter which collection you choose, every Bear & Bone piece is created with the same intention: to make you feel good in what you wear while treading lightly on the planet.
