Heated rivalry cools after Montreal company gets shout-out for viral jacket | CBC News
"Adjustments to the original jacket include Canada in red lettering on the back, splashes of red on the collar and zipper pulls, and maple leaves on the arms. It was designed by Canadian costume designer Hanna Puley to be, in her words, really wearable, cozy and super simple. Character Shane Hollander, played by Canadian Hudson Williams, sports the zip-up during the Sochi Olympic scenes."
"Ahead of the resolution reached Thursday, Yaniv Abecassis, CEO and founder of Kuwalla Tee, explained how his company's jacket, embellished for the series, has made a splash across Canada after its debut in the second episode. "This fleece is just from our collection. It was sourced from our brand to be used on the show and we were not aware this was going to happen," he said."
Yaniv Abecassis is CEO and founder of Kuwalla Tee and identified the white fleece used in Heated Rivalry as sourced from his brand's collection. The show’s costume team modified the original jacket with Canada in red lettering, red splashes on the collar and zipper pulls, and maple leaves on the arms. Designer Hanna Puley characterized the jacket as really wearable, cozy and super simple. Actor Hudson Williams wears the zip-up during the Sochi Olympic scenes. The show's creators partnered with Province of Canada to make a similar fleece available, and Kuwalla Tee raised concerns about use of its jacket in marketing and lack of credit before a resolution was reached.
