Bespoke Post x Kanata Knits Cowichan-Inspired Sweater

Story

Bespoke Post teamed up with Kanata Knits — a Vancouver institution that has been hand-knitting Cowichan-inspired sweaters since 1979 — to make a zip-up you won't find anywhere else.

The tiger motif is drawn from a piece of personal history: our Senior Apparel Buyer's father picked up a silk sukajan while serving overseas, one of those boldly embroidered souvenir jackets soldiers brought home with fierce animals worked into every inch. We took that spirit and translated it into Cowichan form — pulling a pattern from Kanata's archives and modifying it to carry the same energy a vintage tour jacket does. The result is a wool sweater, hand-knit by a skilled artisan in Vancouver, with snarling tigers split across the chest and a full scene on the back.
