Why winter coats from Canada Goose and Moncler are ready for the Arctic. DownTek 950 Fill power goose down has a “C6” water repellent which allows it to stay dry over 90% longer than untreated down. It is ‘Responsible Down Standard’ certified, ensuring that the animals are treated humanely.
The jackets are straight cut (like Men’s jackets) and do not flare out at the hips. The material is down and mosquito proof and is an excellent choice for wind shell clothing and sleeping bag shells. The inner and outer shells of our Sleeping Bags and Quilts are both made from this super light, high quality, 7 denier fabric that weighs in at just .51 oz/sqyd (17 g/m²).
But mall and fashion brands want a piece of this lucrative market too. This past year, brands like J.Crew, Madewell, Tracksmith, Todd Snyder, and Rag & Bone began making clothes with Polartec, a company that has patented warmth fabrics. And even in places like San Francisco and the Bay Area, where temperatures don’t really dip below 60 degrees, shoppers want the best, in terms of both winter apparel’s function and the status it conveys.
In 2013, Bain Capital, the private equity firm co-founded and run for many years by Mitt Romney, bought a majority stake in Canada Goose. No doubt this injection of capital by a private equity firm helped propel Canada Goose into the popular luxury brand it is today. As you can tell I’m most impressed with the fit of this coat.
These big coats are a fashion statement all by themselves, meaning they should be the focal point of your outfit. The best way to do this is by keeping the rest of your outfit simple. A pair of straight-leg jeans paired with some trendy white goose jacket sneakers and a baseball cap will give your outerwear the opportunity to take the spotlight. Underneath, we recommend a long sleeve turtleneck or even a light sweater, because we’re not joking when we say you’ll be super toasty from the coat.
While the winter apparel industry might be booming, it’s also highly unregulated. That means that clothes can — and do — make all sorts of claims. That companies like Banana Republic or Tracksmith would team up with a storied insulation company like Polartec canada goose outlet makes sense. Research and development is expensive; a struggling mall brand and smaller startup don’t have the funds to invent their own materials. Canada Goose, for example, has developed its own warmth scale, the Thermal Experience Index, or TEI.
