Modrobes started as a project at Brock University in 1994. An uncomfortable university student, Steven Sal Debus, wanted to make the ultimately comfortable, utility pants for his fellow students. Stuck with choices of “cardboard” jeans and traditional sweatpants Steven took a look at snowboarders, hospital scrubs and back packs and had an idea; combine all them into a comfy, utility pant that would last your entire university career. He created a business project for these “exam” pants and after graduating he decided to make and sell these pants.
But retailers laughed him out of their stores calling the pants stupid and ridiculous. With little concern, Steven travelled to universities cross Canada selling the pants at tables in front of cafeterias. University students soon started to love the pants and they quickly became of staple of dorm life. Our fabric comes from Canadian suppliers. Our pants are manufactured in Canada. Orders ship out of Canada. Owners are Canadian. Customer service? You’ll talk to a Canadian. Technical issues? We’ll call a Canadian. What can we say? We LOVE Canadian’s. Well, most of them..
