Summary: For lawyer-turned-designer Mark Johnson, the dream of launching a menswear brand was inspired by an anorak worn by his father in the 1960s. That ambition was realised in 2010 with the founding of Kovalum. While a modernised take on that very jacket remains an anchor of the brand’s product line, it has since expanded to include a collection of button downs, T-shirts and accessories – all manufactured in Toronto.
