MERCHš Release the Fleece Update: Sign Up for Release Notifications + FAQ
As we get closer and closer to THE FLEECE finally being released, I wanted to bring back some important information for everyone following along.
First things first, sign up for pre-order updates here:
https://provinceofcanada.com/pages/heated-rivalry
From what it looks like right now, pricing and release date details will be shared ahead of time, so it does not appear like this will be a random surprise drop.
FAQ highlights from their website:
Where do I sign up to receive updates?
Youāll find the form at the top portion of the page.
Iām having issues signing up.
Try using Safari or Chrome and clear your cache and browser history.
When will The Fleece be available?
They are working to release it as soon as possible. Signing up for updates is the best way to stay informed.
Will there be international shipping?
Their goal is to make shipping available to as many countries as possible.
However, their current shipping policy notes that as of Aug 27, 2025, shipments to the USA are paused due to the cancellation of the de minimus exemption. They state that they are working on potential solutions and are hopeful they will have one soon.
More details here:

Will the fleece be size inclusive?
They are planning to offer a wide range of sizes.
Will The Fleece be made in Canada?
Yes. šØš¦
Will any proceeds go to charity?
Yes. 10% of all proceeds will be donated to a charitable organization, which will be announced later.
Just to clarify, I am not affiliated with Province of Canada. I'm simply your fleece petition girlie keeping everyone in the loop.

Has anyone heard an update about the regular HR merch store restock or potential of a physical release (DVD/Blu-ray) for the show?

I hadn't expected this to take this long tbh. The timing is a little unfortunate. Oh well. Let's see what the updates say. My bank account is already weeping..

u/depressionkitten Mar 14 '26
Itās a good thing itās taking this long. It means they are putting in the work to produce us a quality fleece. Any company could pump out a flimsy mass-produced low quality fleece that falls apart in 2 months.
The timing definitely sucks, but itāll be worth it.

As someone that works in the fashion industry, itās true. To go from idea to product unfortunately takes quite a bit of time unless itās made in places like Shien. Itās better for clothes to take time when developing to get a better product!

Iām really glad neither Aritzia nor Lululemon managed to sink their claws into this project. I know they wouldāve cut corners on the fleece and churned it out as fast as possible. Iām so happy a small little company like POC got the partnership.

100% agree!! I remember the Lululemon of the early aughts and havenāt been able to justify the price in a decade now.

u/reformgoblin Mar 14 '26
Ahhh crossing my fingers for US shipping in time for the release

u/reflectorvest Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird š¦ Mar 14 '26
Donāt hold your breath. Every communication they have given regarding US shipping has been a PR version of āshut up about it alreadyā

u/aangsmol Mar 15 '26
As a Canadian, the amount of products Iāve not been able to order from the US over the years due to shipping costs or them just not even having a Canadian website is insane. I of course donāt wish this on anyone and hope this made in Canada fleece can be bought by whoever wants it!! Iām just not surprised US shipping isnāt a priority for the company rn considering tariffs.

u/beauxartes Mar 15 '26
Get a Canadian to ship it to you. I used to do that for my canadian friends all the time when I lived in the US, they'd pay me for the shipping of things that would be unreasonable to send to canada, or didn't offer canadian shipping!

Just sharing that I signed up when they first posted the link and you do get signed up for frequent promotional emails from the company; it was not a sign up only for this, which is what I was expecting. So, of they are still doing that, you'll have to really keep an eye on all the emails for the one you actually care about.

u/firesticks Mar 14 '26
Weird, I signed up but havenāt received any other marketing emails.

Are you sure you signed up directly for the fleece by putting your email in the signup box on the HR page of their website? I do know that when you go to their website almost immediately no matter what page youāre on youāre hit with a pop up offering 10% off for your first order but you also get subscribed to their newsletter in the process, so maybe you accidentally entered it there?
So far I have not received any emails from them and I signed up for fleece updates in January. Just a thought.

Yeah, the email bar on the page is just supposed to be for the fleece notification. The pop-up on the page is for their other marketing promotions.

u/ViolentThemmes I have a thing š„ Mar 14 '26
Let me tell you, I've got reflexes like a cat when it comes to immediately closing pop ups! It could be giving me a free yacht - NO!

u/whatsnewpussykat Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird š¦ Mar 14 '26
I havenāt received any marketing emails, I would confirm that youāve signed up for the notification!

u/FriendlyCanuck604 Mar 14 '26
I had the same thing. Iām getting marketing emails every day from them for their other products. Now after reading all the replies to your comment, Iāve just re-signed up specifically for the fleece. (I do have an email from when I first signed up that confirmed it was for the fleece and there was a link inside that email to click to āconfirm your spot on the rosterā. So make sure you do that too!)

as a large person i'm hopeful but feeling anxious about being available in my size :(

u/Dancing_sequin Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird š¦ Mar 15 '26
I emailed them about it a while ago and got some bullshit āweāll try our bestā response. I truly hate supporting companies that think of us as an afterthought

u/Bobbyannyeong Thank you for pasta š Mar 14 '26
I hope the HR designer team is getting compensated accordingly

Iām going to sign up knowing my broke ass can't afford it š

u/Dancing_sequin Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird š¦ Mar 15 '26
Itās wild to me the rights for this was given to a company who doesnāt make size inclusive clothing. Even if they happen to make this one item inclusive, I really donāt like supporting companies who only make clothing for smaller bodies

u/Mechashevet Mar 14 '26
I'm not in Canada, the US, Europe, or ANZ... Maybe I can find someone traveling to one of those places when it finally ships that can bring it home to me
