Après ski

Parkas, puffers, shearling and heavy knitwear for cold days and mountain evenings.

Après ski dressing means cold weather outerwear, heavy knitwear and warm layers built for mountain evenings after skiing.

Down jackets, shearling parkas and ribbed wool sweaters balance heavy warmth against relaxed silhouettes in chalk white, navy and forest green. They reached the slopes from mountain gear: Moncler made its first down jackets near Grenoble for its factory workers, and climbers took them on expeditions in the fifties.

Moncler is known for quilted down in shiny lacquered nylon, while Canada Goose made its Expedition parka for scientists in Antarctica. Mackage, founded in Montreal, works in leather, down and wool. Pair a down bomber or shearling coat with wool knitwear and straight leg trousers. Due West in Toronto carries Mackage, Moose Knuckles and Canada Goose, and Utopia adds Moncler down jackets and vests, most of them pre owned.
