The belts are 1-1/2" wide, not metric, so that narrows it down. You wouldn't be able to get any use out of these clothes in Canada. Bermuda?

Look at the waist sizes. They go down to 27". I dream of finding stacked shoes like that pair. Any pair of shoes with that much lift is in Donald Trump's closet.
