We tend to forget that we still have manufacturers here in Montreal and some still up at Chabanel! For a well-designed quality leather (or sheepskin) jacket or coat, you can head to Creations Jez. They do have some stock on the racks but anything can be made to fit just you. Longer sleeves, longer length, hood, inside pockets or even getting to pick whatever color you want, that’s what made-to-order is all about. Since this is a family business, you get wonderful caring service along with wonderful wholesale prices. Creative ideas like the leather jacket below which reverses to a waterproof rain jacket or the secure cellphone pocket are not the kind of details you would find in a mass market store.

Shop here for men’s and ladies’ quality jackets and coats, blazers, skirts, pants, designed and made in Canada with an emphasis on sleek and functional styles.

 This would be a great time to scoop up a three-button leather blazer. It is not only practical worn indoors or out, but is a forever fashionable garment to be included in your wardrobe. It completes any look, whether business or casual.
