Wearing your Vans in the winter? Who would’ve thunk it? With the Vans Old Skool MTE, you can wear your kicks when the temperature drops because these aren’t regular sneakers; they’re winterized.

Before the Internet, if you wanted to look at naughty stuff you had throw on Télévision Quatre Saisons after your folks went to bed and see if you could catch a glimpse of people getting sexy on Bleu Nuit. For many young Quebecers, Bleu Nuit was better than any birds and bees talk we got from MRE* class or our parents. Commemorate Bleu Nuit with this cotton and silk pillow from Main and Local.

You are Canadian but are you Canadian as fuck? Yeah, you are. Show the world how we do things up North with this scoop tee from Peace Collective. Bonus - you’ll be supporting a homegrown company that participates in local initiatives to help communities do stuff like give to charity, donate clothing to those in need and ensure that children don’t go hungry. So, you’ll be Canadian as fuck and charitable as fuck.

Here’s the Mini Kane from State. It’s shiny, it’s pretty and it’ll hold your stuff. For each Mini Kane sold, State hand-delivers a bag full of essential tools for success to a child in need. What are essential tools? What do kids need these days to succeed? Pokémon cards? Nintendo 64 cartridges? Whatever children need to get by today, let’s hope they get it. They will get it if you buy the Mini Kane. So, do that, k?

Besides Keanu Reeves, a majestic moose going for a swim somewhere in a secluded lake in the Rockies and a Big Mac that has the right ratio of sauce to pickles, there are very few things in this world that are breathtaking.

Boots are key if you live anywhere in our home and native land. You need something durable that also looks great. Made by Vancouver’s People Footwear, the Jasper Sneakerboot will keep your toesies warm and you’ll look dope wearing them. With quilted supportive padding, EVA rubber shell toe caps, textured midsoles and lugged outsoles, these boots are slip-proof.

This time of year, we need clothing for the “double chill”. That’s when it’s cold outside and you want to sit at home with your face in your laptop watching Netflix. For when you need to be in a state of chill while avoiding the chill of the outdoors, you need the Reversible Lightweight Crewneck from Legends League. This Canadian-made crewneck is so chill, it doesn’t care what side you wear it on.

There are jumpsuits that are fancy and then there are jumpsuits that are chill. What if there was a jumpsuit you could wear to a holiday dinner but also wear it when you’re sitting on your couch later on trying to digest said holiday dinner? Enter the Jodie Jumpsuit. This beautiful creation is perfect for doing fancy things and not so fancy things.

Shirts. We love them. You love them. Buy the Michael Double Faced Shirt from Human Scales and keep that love going. This shirt is slim fit, has real shell buttons – so you know it’s legit – and is made from double faced cotton (hence the name). Not sure who Michael is. Maybe he’s the inventor of the shirt? Maybe he’s just some dude? Maybe that’s not even his real name? Whoever he is, this shirt is amazing and you need it.

Designed in Montreal and handmade in Spain where boots were invented (Maybe? Probably not.), these silver leather strikes are a must-have for your feet. Named after Lady Gaga and Chelsea Handler (Maybe? Probably not.), the 1.5-inch heel is perfect for that black tent dress with the high neckline that’s been hanging in your closet forever.
