HISO JACKETS

With only a few weeks left in winter, it’s now or never to break out that perfect cold-weather jacket to bring that outfit up a notch. It’s a big myth that jackets hide a perfectly styled look, in my personal opinion, sometimes it’s the jacket that brings it all together.

In walks HiSO: the highly crafted, luxury coat we’ve all been waiting for. Straight out of the Fall/Winter 2021 collection (not yet available, but I promise I’ll link it when it drops!), the Flourish coat is that perfect piece to drape over your look. If it’s a cold day, we button up for comfort and warmth, and when spring hits and the weather turns, I put on light layers and hang the jacket, buttons open, for a cozy, yet smart style.

A Canadian company, twin brothers have been at the shearling game for quite a while. HiSO (previously Hide Society) is an elevated outerwear brand committed to quality and craftsmanship, and you can feel it in every piece they design.

Most of the time with luxury and precious fabrics, it’s about a bottom line, but for HiSO, whether it’s wool, shearling or alpaca, it’s about best practice and an eco-conscious approach to ensure that first and foremost, we all do our part to protect our environment.

Travelling the world over to find the best fabrics for their next best statement piece, HiSO is an international brand that is at home right next door in Toronto. I love supporting local and shopping Canadian. Every time I learn of another brand that is killing the scene, I’m proud to know that they are from here in our own playground. And who knows coats better than a fellow Canadian!? Maybe that should be a requirement for jacket shopping – they do know our needs best, right?

Even though the Flourish isn’t yet available, there are a whole bunch of stunning pieces on their site, and when this coat does become ready to buy, Holt Renfrew and Billie Boutique all carry this stunner of a brand. Happy shopping!
