What to know about Rudsak
Built for real Canadian winters
Down parkas, shearlings and nylon-leather hybrid coats are engineered for Montreal cold, but cut closer and leaner than most technical winter outerwear.
Leather is the house material
The label started in leather jackets in 1994 and still leads with them, alongside shearling, which sets the tone for the bags, boots and knitwear added later.
Still founder-run and independent
Evik Asatoorian founded it in 1994 and continues to lead the privately held company, which passed 30 years in 2024 while expanding into Europe and U.S. retail.

Overall fit
slightly small
Rudsak outerwear tends to run slightly snug with a fitted European silhouette, so those between sizes or planning to layer often size up.
