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.
I bought it 2 weeks ago. I love it! I have another Canada goose but this one is so stylish without loosing your comfort.
I just bought this coat and I love it. It is functional and stylish. I bought Pacific Blue which is a terrific, vibrant colour. The hood fits nicely and does not flop over my eyes. The fit on this coat is slim and flattering. Love the touch of the military style buttons, they give the coat a little extra aesthetic value. I have one complaint about the left side hand warmer pocket. There is a button that interferes with the pocket and it's hard to fit your hand in because of it. It cost more than I would normally spend on a coat but if it lasts like it is supposed to, I will not regret one penny.
I purchased my parka a month ago and have not stopped wearing it!!!! As well as warm, it's very trendy and flattering. I am so pleased with all the functions!
