If a $700 Canada Goose coat that I have chosen carefully for color and cut will last me 3-5 years then, yes it’s worth it! I am also 1/2 Canadian and love the fact that this product is made exclusively in Canada. The coyote fur hood zipper is misaligned with the jacket, making a gap which the cold wind leaks; also the hood kept falling or too pulled backwards; annoying and uncomfortable. goose coat Twice emailed to CG customer service was ignored; with a pretentious to be prestigious company like CG, it is unacceptable that their slow in response is may be because of the holidays. I guess they’re worth the warmth but for the same price I could buy a beautiful wool/cashmere coat and not look like I’m going out to shovel snow. CG coats are strictly utilitarian – no style or fashion.
In July, Chinese sports brand Erke became famous overnight after donating about $7.6 million to the flood-stricken central Henan province. Chinese netizens heralded the move, and Erke experienced its biggest single-day sales jump. Amid the nationalists’ push, Beijing is actively promoting domestic brands and promoting patriotism in the shopping decisions among Chinese consumers. According to its official website, Canada Goose currently has 21 stores in China, making it one of the fastest expanding brands in the Chinese market. Major e-commerce websites removed H&M products, and dozens of Chinese celebrities ended their endorsement contracts with the company. Brands such as Nike and Adidas, which had expressed similar concerns about the situation in Xinjiang, saw China sales plummet.
There are a few but most people here tend to layer, wear cheaper parkas or have an incredible tolerance to cold that lets them wander around in light jackets and bareheaded in the winter. This morning wind chill was minus 47 here. I used to live in Inuvik, NT where I first learned about Canada Goose parkas, nothing else could come close to there warmth. Other brands were rarely found in Inuvik because they didn’t cut it.
And i have come from a country where -10 is rare and -15 makes the national assembly gather and announce crisis situation, so for me to say, that i am no longer cold is really something. I got mine on sale and it was over $800. A full-length, goose coat hooded goose down parka would be a ridiculous choice of garment for such activities IMO. It’d end up being left to hang on a tree to be picked up later rather than have to schlep the thing around strapped to your back or something.
There are a few objections to the use of coyote fur in this coat. In parts of Canada, coyotes are consider vermin and are regularly hunted as such. If anything, these coats are sourcing material from a local culled animal that might otherwise go to waste. Would one rather have artificial petroleum-based faux fur wrapped around their face? Or a leather jacket made in a sweatshop in Vietnam?
Nice thing is the fur zipper part can be taken off & there is a zipper on the back for more space while sitting. Yes yes yes yes yeeeeessssssss………… all the way yes. Purchase a canada goose jacket and you won’t be disappointed.
For me, I’m sticking to my $300 Patagonia Parka. The price point has enabled me to purchase a dressier, fully-lined wool coat for $199 from BCBGMAXAZRIA. Now you know some down jacket lingo, let’s compare all the “luxury” Canada Goose features with a winter jacket I own from Patagonia, the Tres 3-in-1 Parka. The jacket shell, or outer material, is made from “Arctic-Tech”, which is how Canada Goose brands a standard fabric made from 85% polyester and 15% cotton with a DWR finish. Promise to the landfill, the mummy of a small Egyptian girl born a few centuries before Christ will finally come to the museum.
I walk 45 minutes to work, and 45 minutes back. I also walk in the neighbourhood and Experimental Farm’s Arboretum, 12 months of the year. I’m on my third winter with my Hudson Bay olympic parka. It keeps me warm and most of the time it is too warm.
