How to Master Winter Dressing in Style: The Atelier Olmsted Guide

Make Winter Your Statement Season

Winter isn’t just a weather event—it’s an opportunity to redefine your style. And nothing captures cold-season confidence like a perfectly tailored, ethically made coat. At Atelier Olmsted, we design outerwear that makes winter your best-dressed season—without compromising warmth, sustainability, or elegance.

The Olmsted Philosophy: Warmth with Intention

Crafted in Montreal and built to weather everything from city storms to alpine winds, our coats represent a new standard in performance-luxury outerwear. Rooted in Canadian heritage, elevated by sustainable materials, and tailored for style, each piece reflects a commitment to quality, responsibility, and timeless design.

At the heart of our coats is Canadian eiderdown—the rarest and warmest natural insulation in the world.

Meet the Shields: Protection with Personality

Whether you're heading into a snowstorm or strolling through a frost-lined city, there’s a Shield designed for you. Each silhouette is tailored for maximum warmth, protection, and versatility, and crafted with Re-Nylon exteriors and Riri Swiss-made zippers for total refinement.

For Men

The Full Shield
Super warm, fully waterproof, and unbelievably protective. The Full Shield is outerwear you'll over-wear—on every winter commute, escape, and snowstorm. Happy weathering everything.

The Cut Shield
A little stocky. A lot mighty. The Cut Shield is a shorter cut of his big brother—just as protective, just as powerful. Bring on winter.

For Women

The Shield
Super warm, fully waterproof, and sumptuously protective. This is a coat you'll keep reaching for. Happy wintering.

The Crop Shield
A little bit boxy. A little bit foxy. The Crop Shield is the shorter, chicer cut of her big sister—with just as much protection. Stun in the storm.

Sustainably Luxurious by Design

Insulation Powerhouse: 100% Canadian Eiderdown
Each Shield is filled with precious Canadian eiderdown—sustainably harvested from wild nests. Just like the ice-inhabiting ducks themselves, eiderdown adapts to your body’s temperature, keeping you perfectly insulated without overheating. It’s the lightest, warmest, and most breathable down on earth.

A Little Kinder: Recycled Materials & Ethical Details

• Re-Nylon Shells: Down-proof and water-repellent, our outer shells are made from 100% recycled nylon—derived from discarded fishing nets and industrial waste.

• Riri Zippers: Precision-made in Switzerland since 1936, Riri zippers embody sustainability in the details—beauty, performance, and ethical production.

• Handmade in Montreal: We make just enough. No waste, no overproduction—only thoughtfully crafted coats made to last, by skilled hands in our home city.
