ABOUT HALAL FIT
What is Halal Fit?
Halal Fit is a Muslim-owned streetwear design house in Ottawa, Canada, focused on creating foundational everyday modest clothing. We start with premium heavyweight essentials like hoodies, joggers, and tees from our "Smile It’s Sunnah" collection, engineered for modesty and comfort. Our mission is to build toward a full Muslim fashion house by 2027, including custom hijabs, abayas, and thowbs, all while maintaining ethical North American production and donating 10% of profits to Sadaqah Jariyah initiatives.
Who founded Halal Fit and what's the brand's background?
Founded by a team of Muslim designers in Ottawa, Halal Fit was born from the need for better-engineered modest wear that doesn't compromise on streetwear style or Islamic principles. We emphasize North American manufacturing for quality control, ethical labor, and sustainability, avoiding fast fashion. Our background is rooted in creating clothing that reflects faith, character, and modesty for modern Muslims.
Is Halal Fit a halal-certified brand?
While apparel doesn't require formal halal certification like food or supplements, our products are designed with halal principles in mind—using ethical sourcing, no haram materials (e.g., no silk for men or non-modest fabrics), and production free from cross-contamination with unethical practices. We prioritize modesty (awra coverage), breathable cotton, and sustainable runs. For transparency, all our partners are vetted for ethical standards aligning with Islamic values.
What makes Halal Fit different from other Muslim streetwear brands?
Unlike fast-fashion options, we focus on premium, heavyweight materials (like 400gsm combed cotton) for durability and modest fit. Our designs ensure coverage in motion, not just static poses, and we reinvest profits into R&D for luxury modestwear. Plus, 10% of every purchase goes to verified charities, making your buy a form of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah). We're building a Canadian-based ecosystem for Muslim creatives.
PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS
What products does Halal Fit offer?
Our current lineup includes the "Smile It’s Sunnah" collection: oversized 'Fajr' Heavyweight Hoodies, 'Jummah' Street Joggers, minimal graphic tees, and functional accessories. All are made from breathable, durable cotton blends for modest, everyday wear—perfect for prayer, work, travel, or casual outings. We're expanding based on our roadmap.
Are Halal Fit clothes made from halal materials?
Yes, we use high-quality, plant-based cottons and blends that are permissible under Islamic guidelines—no animal-derived materials that could be haram (e.g., no pork byproducts in dyes or finishes). Our fabrics are breathable, non-clinging, and designed for modesty. We avoid synthetic materials that might compromise ethics or comfort, sourcing from ethical North American partners.
Is Halal Fit apparel suitable for fitness or activewear?
Absolutely! Our streetwear is engineered for movement with structured silhouettes, balanced tapers, and coverage that stays in place during activities like gym sessions, runs, or daily errands. While not specialized athletic gear, our hoodies and joggers provide modest fit for Muslim fitness enthusiasts seeking halal-friendly options that align with an active lifestyle.
How do I know if Halal Fit products are modest enough for Islamic standards?
We engineer for awra (modesty) from the pattern stage: relaxed fits, longer hems, non-transparent fabrics, and structures that prevent clinging. For example, our hoodies resist riding up, and joggers offer comfortable coverage. Sizes are inclusive for all body types, ensuring modesty without restricting movement—ideal for prayer or public wear.

TECHNICAL PRODUCT & FIT (SEARCH-DRIVEN)
What makes "Halal Fit" different from regular oversized brands?
Most brands create "modest" looks by simply sizing up regular patterns. This often leads to poor fit—sleeves that are too long, sagging necklines, and messy silhouettes. At Halal Fit, we engineer modesty from the pattern stage.
Structured Drop: Our cuts are wider in the chest and torso to provide coverage without looking sloppy.
Heavyweight Hold: We use 400gsm cotton that holds its shape and doesn’t cling to the body in movement.
Engineered Length: T-shirts and hoodies are cut longer to ensure coverage during prayer or daily movement.
What is a "Heavyweight" Hoodie and why is it better?
A standard hoodie is usually 250–300gsm. Our Smile It’s Sunnah hoodies are 400gsm.
