The editor’s guide to buying Moose Knuckles

Choose the length first, then the level. A bomber stops at the waist and suits drivers and cyclists; a 3Q finishes at mid-thigh and is the most versatile; a parka covers the most of you for long days outdoors. For a city winter, a Level 2 to Level 3 style is usually right, such as the Soho Down Bomber and the Greystone Down Jacket. For a Canadian winter, go straight to the Level 4 Originals. Add a Classic Bunny Hoodie underneath, hood out over the collar, and the look is complete. Our guides to women’s coats, men’s jackets and how to wear Moose Knuckles go through it piece by piece.

Frequently asked questions

Where is Moose Knuckles from, and is it made in Canada?

Moose Knuckles is a Canadian brand, designed and headquartered in Montreal and launched in 2009 by Noah Stern and Ayal Twik, whose family has made Canadian outerwear since 1921. The outerwear at Luxury Handbags is made in Vietnam and China and the tees in Peru.

What does the name Moose Knuckles mean?

The brand says it is inspired by the moose, the most fearless animal in Canada. The phrase is also North American slang, and the brand plays on that double meaning on purpose.

What is the warmest Moose Knuckles jacket?

The Warmth Level 4 styles, rated for minus 20°C to minus 30°C: the Original Ballistic Down Bomber, Original Debbie Down Bomber, Original 3Q Down Jacket, Original Stirling Down Parka and Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer.

Do Moose Knuckles jackets run small?

They run slim rather than small. Most people take their usual size and size up only in a Slim Fit style worn over a thick knit.

Does Moose Knuckles use real fur?

Some styles do. The Northbound and Pioneer styles use genuine fox fur and the Originals hoods are trimmed with sheep shearling. The Bunny plush is faux fur, and many puffers and vests have no fur. Every product page states the trim.

Is Moose Knuckles at Luxury Handbags authentic?

Yes. Every Moose Knuckles piece sold by Luxury Handbags is 100% authentic and checked before dispatch, and Luxury Handbags ships worldwide.
