Born in Toronto in 1957 under the name Metro Sportswear, the company changed it in 1985 to Snow Goose, and finally in the 90's the brand settled on what we all now know as Canada Goose. Originally a manufacturer of insulated wool-based products, in the 1970's Canada Goose dove into the production of down winter jackets for men and women. Having a large portion of their clientele located in Northern Canada and other frigid environments, the brand has a background in creating insulated pieces, like the Expedition Parka, that can withstand any cold climate. Police officers, construction workers and cameramen and actors/actresses from Hollywood all swear by Canada Goose when working in the North.
The classic down jacket models will be timeless: Trillium, Chilliwack, Kensington, Montebello, Chateau, Borden Bomber, and Hybridge jacket, are just the tip of the iceberg. They have also expanded into accessories such as down-filled gloves for men and women and down-filled mitts for men and women. Another huge success was their line of beanies and pilot hats for men and women.
Today Canada Goose is one of the biggest producers of insulated down jackets in the world, being distributed in over 40 countries, and the jackets are still proudly made in Canada. In an age where production is being outsourced to keep prices down, Canada Goose has firmly planted its roots in our fine nation.
The perfect coat for upstate NY weather! I go to college in upstate NY and these coats are the best thing to handle a winter out here because it's easily able to be taken off while providing significant warmth very quick to the body and head too!!
I purchased the coat as a Christmas gift and extremely happy with the purchase. It made the person I purchased one happy person!!
Parka de qualité! J'ai acheté cette parka le mois dernier et j'en suis très satisfait ! Le froid hivernal ne me fait plus peur. Elle est élégante, sobre, chic et efficace. Je conseille.
