One Tooth Activewear borrows its moniker from an ancient tribe’s tale about the importance of truthfulness and infuses good-faith, good-fortune values into each piece of active and casual wear. Crafted in Canada from high-quality materials, garments bend and flex with yoga students, busy parents, or hokey-pokey instructors. All activewear is designed with four-way compression technology that doesn't pull against you and limits resistance during movement. Garments are constructed from materials such as Supplex, which offers a cottony feel that protects wearers from wind and water, and cotton terry, which is pillowy soft and pre-washed to resist shrinkage. These materials help the activewear retain its color and shape, even after months and months of wear.

The Milwaukee location, the first to open in America, holds one of the largest collections of activewear garb in the city, outfitting women, men, and teens. One Tooth Activewear also offers tall sizes for women, custom designed active-wear, and team jacket design services.
