Dark Seas: Depot Pant

Pants are necessary. Especially when you leave the house. Unless it’s shorts weather, which it is very much not right now. If you’re looking for a new pair of pants, try the Depot Pant from Dark Seas. Technically these are dude pants but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be worn by anyone. They’re 100% cotton, have back pockets and do the most important thing a pant can do: cover your legs and keep them from getting cold.

It’s still cold outside. What can you wear to keep yourself warm that also looks awesome? A snowsuit? No way! You’re not skiing right now, you’re being casual.

Made in Canada and ready to keep you warm, it’s the Italian Wool Mock Neck Sweater from Leisure!

The Bay: Hudson’s Bay Company Striped Socks

Take this classy pair from one of Canada’s oldest companies. These striped socks can make your outfit. Plus, the best part about socks is that they’re your little secret when you’re hiding them in shoes. One size fits all and that one size will fit you.

The Next Chapter of Wolf Parade

There's not too much info out there on Wolf Parade's new album just yet, but the mostly B.C.-based indie rock pack's first full-length in seven years is nearly complete by the time ION reaches drummer Arlen Thompson at home in Nanaimo. He'd been out tracking at Seattle's Robert Lang Studios earlier in the week, and judging by the band's Insta pic of a well-placed microphone, a pair of bongos, and an exquisitely crusty, spiritually attuning amethyst, the sessions have been epic.
