Freddie – A tribute to the pioneer who turned empathy into medicine
The Freddie fleece jacket is inspired by Frederick Banting, the visionary who revolutionized diabetes treatment by co-discovering insulin with Charles Best in 1921. Their breakthrough transformed millions of lives by making it possible to manage diabetes effectively.
Banting didn’t just discover a treatment—he gave it to the world. In a legendary act of compassion, he sold the insulin patent for just one dollar to ensure accessibility for everyone, regardless of income. His legacy lives on as a symbol of medical integrity and global health impact.
As the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine and founder of the Banting Institute, he empowered future generations to keep advancing science for the public good.
The Freddie fleece honors that spirit—created for professionals who face cold, demanding days with strength, compassion, and purpose. Because staying warm is also part of staying ready.
