Canadian luxury outerwear brand Moose Knuckles is excited to announce its collaboration with New York-based designer, Telfar Clemens and his eponymous label – TELFAR. The two have joined forces to create a 17 piece outerwear collection to keep you moving in warmth and style. As Telfar’s first foray into outerwear, the capsule is a continuation of the revival of key pieces synonymous with his NYC roots. Moose Knuckles key silhouettes are reimagined in a timeless winter drop that serves as an ode to New Yorkers’ penchant for getting noticed while minding their own business.

The capsule collection features a classic bomber set with a matching pair of fox-trimmed boot-cut ski pants. Additional pieces include a double-breasted hybrid-wool and nylon Puff Peacoat and Puff-Hoodie Hybrid in classic TELFAR monogram engineered into bands of nylon puff. Destined for uniform status and available in waist-length or unisex maxi, the Puff-Hoodie pairs with matching Puff-Sweatpants; spliced at the knees with generous rings of boot-cut nylon puff. Wrought in leather, nylon, fleece, and fox Moose Knuckles x TELFAR pays homage to a distinctly New York outerwear tradition.
Don’t panic — there are bags. Moose Knuckles x TELFAR will debut with a limited edition Puff- Telfar Shopper: the classic Medium Shopper with its original embossed “TC” logo in luscious puff- down nylon. For the first time ever Moose Knuckles x TELFAR will introduce the Large Shopper – featuring the all-over puzzle-piece monogram in trapunto nylon puff.
Prices range from $195 to $4,300 USD. The highly anticipated collaboration will launch on November 1, 2021, on Mooseknucklescanada.com and TELFAR.net. To follow, beginning November 8, exclusive collection pieces will be available at Galeries Lafayette, Browns, Antonioli, Saks Fifth Avenue, Holt Renfrew, Ssense.
To drive home both brands’ long-term commitment for responsible design vs fast-fashion and collaboration fatigue — Moose Knuckles will also engineer and manufacture the debut of the TELFAR inline outerwear collection set to release this fall through TELFAR’s distribution channels.

Make clothes that do not exist on the market— just like you don’t exist in the world. Don’t have any money. Persist for a decade without a single review from the fashion press. Do everything differently. If stores won’t buy your clothes, show in museums. If ‘beauty’ sponsors don’t like your skin and hair— make uniforms for a fast-food chain. Use the money to help bail hundred of kids off Rikers Island. Win the CFDA/Vogue fashion fund. Use the money to make an ‘it’ bag, where ‘it’ has nothing to do with domination. Refuse to be tokenized. Decline invitations. Use ‘fashion’ to picture a future that can help destroy the present. Lots of love; keep your family close; breathe; ignore the bullshit, and please remember: the world isn’t everything.
