As the seasons change, menswear takes on a different character. Tweeds, flannels, cashmeres and thicker wools bring a richness and depth that feel particularly at home in fall and winter.
Richer Fabrics
The colour palette changes too. The lighter, brighter shades of spring and summer give way to deeper, richer tones, from earthy browns and warm rusts to forest greens, burgundies and deep blues. Combined with the softer hand and greater texture of fall and winter fabrics, these colours give sport jackets a distinctive character.
Layering for the Season
A sport jacket works particularly well in fall and winter because it can be layered in different ways. Wear a lighter jacket over a shirt for the office, add a sweater when needed, or pair it with jeans for a more relaxed look. The right fabric and weight make the same jacket useful well beyond one occasion.

If we already have your measurements or have made a jacket or a suit for you before, ordering is simple. We can work from your existing measurements and specifications, whether you visit us in Montreal or prefer to select your fabric remotely.
Order Ahead
Custom jackets take time, so starting early gives you the opportunity to enjoy your jacket throughout the season, rather than having it arrive later in the winter.
Whether you’re visiting us in person or selecting from a distance, we can help you choose the right fabric, weight, texture and style for the way you dress. Get in touch and we’ll be happy to put together a few options for you.
Book an appointment to start your next sport jacket.
Sincerly
