Moose Knuckles Colours Explained: Black, Grey, Pink, White and Gold

Moose Knuckles gives its colours their own names, which makes shopping by colour harder than it should be. Grey is Cement, pink is Rosewood, ivory is Alabaster and the black and gold look is the Gold Series. This guide decodes every shade in the current Moose Knuckles collection at Coveti and names the best jacket in each, for women and men.

Quick answer

  • Black is the core colour: almost every style comes in it, from the Original Ballistic Bomber to the Bunny hoodie.
  • Grey is Cement (a cool mid grey) and Ashen (a soft grey beige).
  • White is Alabaster (a warm ivory), with true White, Milky Way and Stone on tees and polos.
  • Pink is Rosewood, a dusty rose on women’s bombers, puffers and Bunny hoodies.
  • Blue runs from icy Blue Ice to Navy and the near-black Nightfall.
  • Green is Combat (olive) and Clover (a brighter green).
  • Black and gold is the {L(“moose-knuckles-gold-series”, “Gold Series”)}: black shells with gold hardware.

Black Moose Knuckles jackets

Black is the safest buy and the one most people search for. It hides city grime, keeps the metal hardware as the focal point and works with everything. The men’s Original Ballistic Down Bomber and the women’s Original Debbie Down Bomber both come in plain Black and in Black and Natural, which adds a pale shearling hood trim. For a long coat, the Original Stirling Long Down Parka in Black is the brand’s most classic women’s parka.

Grey: Cement and Ashen

Grey Moose Knuckles searches peak every winter. Cement is the true grey: try the men’s Kings Down Bomber, Banff Down Parka and Classic Bunny Hoodie. Ashen is warmer and softer, close to greige. It is the colour of the Greystone Down Jacket and of the Everest Hooded Down Puffer for women. Ashen and Bronze, on the Original 3Q and the Stirling, pairs it with bronze hardware.

White and ivory: Alabaster

Alabaster is the brand’s white. It reads as a warm ivory in daylight, which is kinder to most skin tones than optical white. The women’s Queens Down Bomber, Soho Down Bomber and Original 3Q Down Jacket all come in Alabaster, and men can find it on the Brixton Down Bomber Jacket. Searches for a white fur Moose Knuckles usually mean a pale shell with a natural shearling hood trim; read our fur and shearling guide for which styles have it.

Pink: Rosewood

Rosewood is the pink most people mean when they search for a pink Moose Knuckles. It is a muted, dusty rose rather than a candy pink. It appears on the Soho Down Bomber, the Queens Reversible Down Puffer, the Iceberg Quilt Down Vest and the Roslyn Bunny Hoodie. The Original 3Q Down Jacket also comes in Rosewood and Alabaster.

Blue, navy and green

Navy is the quiet alternative to black: the men’s Soho Down Bomber and the women’s Celestia 3Q Down Jacket both come in it. Nightfall is darker still, almost black in low light. Blue Ice is the statement shade, on the Banff Down Bomber and the men’s Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer. For green, Combat is a military olive (the Briar 3Q Down Puffer, the Pioneer Fur and Down Parka) and Clover is a brighter green on the YUL Hoodie and the Iceberg Quilt Down Vest.

Black and gold: the Gold Series

The black and gold Moose Knuckles look belongs to the Gold Series, which takes the icons and finishes them in black with gold hardware. Highlights are the Gold Series Original Stirling Down Parka, the Gold Series Original Debbie Down Bomber and the men’s Gold Series Original Ballistic Down Bomber. Read the full Gold Series guide.

Is there a red Moose Knuckles?

Red appears in some seasons, but there is no red style in the current collection at Coveti. For a colour statement this winter, Blue Ice, Rosewood and the Wild prints are the brightest options.
