The "200km Jacket" is a truly local collaboration, celebrating what can be crafted, sourced, made and sold within 200 kilometres of Toronto, Ontario Canada. This limited edition-collaboration kicks off the 20th anniversary celebration of the 2007 debut of Philip Sparks Tailored Goods Inc. and highlights the creative network that has grown around the business over the past two decades.
The project was conceived as part of the growing Ontario Fibreshed movement with wool, mohair and alpaca fibres coming from TK. The raw materials have been cleaned, carded, spun and woven at Wave Fibre Mill in Parry Sound. Garment design, patterns and constructing were completed in the Philip Sparks Tailored Goods studio in Toronto's Junction neighbourhood. And the finished jackets are sold a short 15-minute walk away here at Gerhard Supply, which has been focused on retailing Canadian designed and made clothing and accessories since 2013.
To support this local movement and more sustainable practices, the colour of these jackets are unique and reflect the conditions for raising sheep and spinning wool in Ontario over the Winter of 2025/2026. Similar to how the characteristics of wine shift from vintage to vintage, these hues are naturally occurring colours in sheep and other fine animal hairs from a specific moment in time. Instead of synthetic materials, linen and horse hair cavasses have been hand sewn into place and cotton lines the jackets. Even the real horn buttons and thread are made in Canada.
