MOOSE KNUCKLES CANADA LAUNCHES MOOSE LAB

by John Russel Jones


Moose Knuckles, the Canadian luxury outerwear brand, is proud to announce the launch of Moose Lab, a new platform for creative collaborations. Moose Lab will serve as a space for creatives to reinterpret the brand’s history and heritage, blending technical and fashion outerwear. Moose Knuckles’ Global Artistic Director, Carlos Nazario, designed the inaugural collection.

This 12-piece capsule combines utilitarian functionality and the protective elements of iconic cold-weather military apparel from the brand’s archives, infused with the distinctive style and volumes reminiscent of 1990s fashion trends.

The collection includes outerwear and accessories crafted with elevated materials such as leather, Mongolian wool, down, and shearling. Each piece combines practicality with a distinct aesthetic, reinforcing Moose Knuckles’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of luxury outerwear.

“I was thrilled to collaborate with close friends and the talented Moose Knuckles design team on this capsule collection,” says Nazario. “For me, outerwear transcends mere functionality—it’s an integral part of one’s style expression. Growing up in New York City, spending time outdoors was a significant part of my life, and outerwear became a statement of my personal aesthetic. This collection draws inspiration from the coats that first made me feel truly sophisticated, blending Moose Knuckles’ roots in Canadian military apparel with exquisite craftsmanship and quality that discerning individuals will appreciate. There’s an unmistakable sense of glamour in this collection that reflects the bold, stylish approach we bring to outerwear design.”

Victor Luis, Executive Chairman of Moose Knuckles, adds, “Carlos has reimagined our founder’s history and archives as a supplier of outerwear for the Canadian Military with core elements that blend Moose Knuckles’ utilitarian heritage with his distinct fashion vision, resulting in a capsule that is both highly functional and stylish. This collection exemplifies our commitment to innovation while staying true to our brand DNA.”

The Moose Lab by Carlos Nazario capsule collection will be available exclusively on Mooseknuckles.com and at select Moose Knuckles retail stores .
