canada goose jackets

[rob the knob]

these are very popular recently

do you wear one? what kind? jacket or parka?







where did you buy yours?

[msommers]

I think I've seen those at Atmosphere, a small outdoor store across from MEC downtown.

If it is the same jacket, they are VERY expensive -- I believe around 700-800 if I recall. Personally, the cost doesn't warrant it when you can go across the street and get something just as good for less.

To each their own.

[austic]

they sell them at Harry Rosen, great jackets just pretty expensive

Yes, Chilliwack Bomber, Parka, would have opted out of fur though. Forgot which model has the removable fur.

Bought at Henry last year for about $500.

I know Abominable carries the vests so maybe they carry the jackets as well? But many retailers are sold out.

I believe there is lifetime warranty for any manufacture defects as well.

i bought the ladies version of the one pictured...differences? Mens has the snap buttons where as the the ladies has just buttons that pull through. Also another difference, ladies fits me A LOT better than a mens small does.

$360 @ Costco

Spotted some of these at Costco ranging from $300-600 if I remember correctly...

Its funny Costco has supplies I believe in certain locations, and my friend at Holts told me that the Womens shipment has got majorly delayed and he has a wait list of over 100.

One of those "fad items" that is actually pretty functional and well made - I think they are actually pretty well worth the price given how often it will get use in Calgary.

This is why I could justify spending soo much on a jacket. It would be used to its fullest and a lot. It is such a warm jacket, I can wear a t-shirt underneathe in weather such as today and be hella warm still! I honestly don't know how I survived with my previous winter jackets.

I have heard nothing but good reviews on them, I think they even have a -50 degree C version for the hardcores. I believe the fur is coyote? I could be full of shit though.

There was a great news article about these this morning on Global. Apparently there's a ton of fakes floating around that don't have a lick of goose down in them. They're using other fibres.. knowing the cheapo chinese knockoffs, probably asbestos.

It's the yorkville that has the removable hood. I've had mine for a few years now. For $400, probably one of the best purchases I've made. I just wish it wasn't so puffy, and I got the chilliwack instead

Henry, Holt renfrew, and harry rosen all carry the jackets as far as I know. A multitude of other stores also have accessories

I cant believe hes using a knife while driving in those conditions.

It was for a gin and tonic drink I believe..... "we can drink and drive since we are not on a public road".... haha

The Canada Goose type jackets are the best design, lasts for decades and really warm when needed. I had one in the 90's.

Love the UK press getting all over May and Co. for their Gin/Tonic:

Oh yeah, definitely - good that you mentioned this. I wouldn't buy one from any place that wasn't an authorized dealer.
