Hardpressed Mask | Black/Black | Cross Grain

*All mask purchases are considered final sale, no exceptions.  

Made in response to Health Canada stating a face covering can be used as "an additional measure of protection" to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Made in Saskatoon and printed on repurposed organic cotton tee-shirts from our inventory and a poly-cotton blend material to hold its shape. Cut and sewn in Saskatoon by a locally owned alteration company whose operations have been otherwise significantly affected by the pandemic.

This mask features an adjustable metal nose bar, round elastic ear loops for added comfort and soft material to avoid irritation. The filter pocket can support additional filtering materials that Health Canada recommends such as coffee filters or paper towels. Please note that all faces are different sizes and shapes so masks fit differently from person to person. If the mask fits loosely, you can add a knot to the ear loops to tighten the fit.

All masks are packed with a tamper-proof seal and stored for 72 hours before being sold to ensure safety. Due to hygiene reasons, masks are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. All mask purchases are considered final sale, no exceptions. 

Do not attempt to sanitize the mask in the microwave as the metal nose bar can ignite and could damage your appliance.

Wash your mask after each use using hot water and hang to dry. Be sure to remove any added filter material before washing. Do not bleach and do not machine dry. 

Not intended for medical use and it does not provide guaranteed protection from contracting COVID-19.

Appropriate use of non-medical mask or face covering

When worn properly, a person wearing a non-medical mask or face covering can reduce the spread of his or her own infectious respiratory droplets.

Non-medical face masks or face coverings should:

• allow for easy breathing
• fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops
• maintain their shape after washing and drying
• be changed as soon as possible if damp or dirty
• be comfortable and not require frequent adjustment
• be made of at least 2 layers of tightly woven material fabric (such as cotton or linen)
• be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping

Some masks also include a pocket to accommodate a paper towel or disposable coffee filter, for increased benefit.

Cut and sewn in Saskatoon with organic cotton t-shirts.

Wash your mask after each use using hot water and hang to dry. Be sure to remove any added filter material before washing. Do not bleach and do not machine dry.
