We are about to head into peak winter; however, wearing your Arctic-ready, over-sized parka to the office can feel too bulky and casual, especially when there’s barely a sprinkling of snow on the ground and your office has a more formal dress code.

Perhaps — if you don’t have one already — it’s time to invest in a chic, made-in-Canada winter topper that’s a bit more tailored, and a lot more fashionable, to round out your coat wardrobe.

Here are 10 stylish, locally-made options for your consideration.

Made in Canada using the brand’s trademarked Northern Lightswear Wool — which magically changes colour when photographed with flash — this Therma Kōta coat features both a dramatic hemline and a very practical hood.

Toronto-based tailor Philip Sparks is a fashion-set favourite; his bespoke suiting,  and custom shirts and workwear can be as traditional or modern as you’d like, and be made in any material of your choice. The process takes 8-10 weeks, but is worth the wait.
