Milkweed-insulated sleeveless jacket - Pre-order Winter 25-26
After years of waiting, it’s finally here: an affordable milkweed-insulated vest!
With its clean design, refined construction, and high-performance natural insulation made from milkweed, this puffer-style sleeveless vest is lightweight, warm, and versatile. Whether you're shopping in the city or heading out on a weekend escape, this 4-season vest has your back.
Its secret? A Lasclay innovation: removable milkweed-filled insulation pads that can be taken out when milder temperatures return in fall or spring. They can also be easily replaced after a few years if they become flattened or damaged—greatly extending the warmth and lifespan of the vest.
We've always believed that milkweed isn’t a luxury material—and with a bit of creativity, it can be made accessible. This vest proves it.

Material & Care
The milkweed comes from here
It is grown in Quebec, harvested in the fall, then turned into insulation at our workshop in Limoilou. That is the part we do not outsource: it is where our know-how sits, and it is what gives the plant value out in the fields. Final assembly of most of our products happens with partners abroad. We would rather write that plainly than let you assume otherwise.
Responsible and cruelty-free
The oil used to manufacture synthetic insulation is getting scarcer and more expensive, while down is questionable from an ethical standpoint. Milkweed can be farmed industrially in a win-win formula for nature and humans and performs better than its counterparts.
Respectful of Monarchs
By purchasing a Lasclay product, you are directly helping the monarchs, an endangered species. An abundance of milkweed in rural areas provides them with invaluable breeding grounds before their great migration, after which we harvest the floss.
