Nursery rhymes may make you feel better on occasion, but “April showers bring May flowers” only works if you actually make it to May to enjoy the blooms. Depending on where you live, you could be in danger of washing away if you don’t protect yourself from the occasional downpour. The Jack Victor Elements Capsule is setting up to be one of the most important of the year as it brings the best rain jackets on the market all in one place for you to pick up whatever your style aesthetic may be. Of course, that means there are inevitably going to be a handful of options to choose from, but the collection from Jack Victor is the complete set.

Stay dry AND stylish

For us, the building of a collection starts from the top down. That means we will look at the more elevated options that will create the perfect dressed-up looks protected from the rain. The oatmeal topcoat is the perfect versatile option to go over your suits and office wear. Then, the Herrington Jacket in pure cashmere creates the best smart casual look out there. The next step is to pick up your streetwear or more casual looks, and the best-selling Navy Bomber Jacket is the headliner for the whole collection. The perfect jacket for every day when you leave the office to live your life. They also offer a suede hooded vest that is the pinnacle of street style. Finally, the in-between styles focus on functionality, leaving the raincoats and the field jackets for those times when you need something to get you through the worst weather of the season.

Jack Victor gives back to Montreal through The Victor Foundation
Focusing on education and cancer research, Jack Victor gives back
Jack Victor Show Room

Jack Victor is the premier destination for luxury men's wear in Canada. They have a curated selection of high-quality products that are perfect in the man's closet, whether you are the kind of guy who wears a suit every day or the kind of guy who wears elevated basics on the weekend. The Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR is a testament to their desire to push the limits of what modern fashion is while maintaining function and an elegant style every man reaches for. But it isn't enough just to be a brand that focuses on style. You have to focus on the community as well. Men want to know they are doing good. This is where The Jack Victor Foundation comes into play. The Jack Victor Foundation gives back to their home city of Montreal with a few specific focuses.
A focus on education

McGill University is recognized worldwide as a top teaching and research program. Ernest Rutherford's Nobel Prize-winning research on the nature of radioactivity was conducted at McGill, and that sparked Jack Victor to make a major contribution to McGill University's School of Management to fund the renovation of its building’s main lobby. The Foundation also funds numerous scholarships both in Canada and abroad for Canadian students. They don't stop at education either, as they also contribute to the cancer foundation Hope and Cope, a leader in oncology research, and JDRF, a non-profit organization actively involved in research aimed at breakthroughs that can potentially cure, prevent, and better treat Type 1 diabetes.

Jack Victor wants you to look your best without discomfort with COMFORTWEAR
Looks like a suit coat, feels like a sweater
Jack Victor Comfortwear Navy Check

If you have ever been to a men's store and listened to the guys around you, you will have figured out that the biggest issue we have with dressing up is comfort. The restrictive nature of suits is one of the most significant drawbacks to dressing like Don Draper every day. However, if you do wear a suit daily, you may have figured out that times are changing. It may have taken a century of wearing the modern iteration of suits to figure it out, but the industry finally started changing the makeup of our favorite garments. Jack Victor is a favorite destination for our needed menswear, and they are also doing what they can to solve this little issue. Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR collection is their answer to our discomfort.
Look like a suit, feel like a sweater

The Jack Victor COMFORTWEAR Collection blends innovative fabrics like wool, silk, linen, cotton, and cashmere with exceptional stretch. This combination gives the look of a blazer with the maximized comfort of a sweater. You can go with the three-button look that offers the feel of a more casual jacket, the checked two-button look that feels more like a sport coat, or you can go for the truly unique look of the double-breasted jacket. Any of the above options are just as appropriate in the office, elevating your business casual to a smart casual, or on the cabin porch with your coffee. Either way, the tech leads with sharpness and ends with unparalleled comfort.

Don’t sacrifice style with winter boots: The key to functional fashion this season
Stay stylish even in mens winter dress boots
Boots standing on frosty winter ground.

The weather is beginning to make your trip to the office or the grocery store much more precarious. The snow is falling, and the roads are getting wet and slippery. That is when it becomes imperative that you get the right garments and shoes to protect yourself against the elements. The only problem? They are rarely as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe. Winter boots specifically have a hard time retaining the style of other seasons, and men's winter dress boots are the closest you will get to style while staying elevated. That is why you need to find the perfect outfit to stay warm and dry while not sacrificing your style. How do you do that? By mastering functional fashion. Here is the way to nail this look.
Why winter boots feel less stylish

Really, what this comes down to is the argument of function over fashion. When you have something that looks great, it is often constructed without focusing on making your life easier. When you have something made for a specific purpose, you often sacrifice the look of the boot because it is meant to keep your feet warm, dry, or both. Keeping your style elevated during the winter months will come down to finding a pair of boots that find the balance between the two. Functional fashion is the hallmark of a great winter boot look.
