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.
Great parka!!! I got this as a Christmas gift. It is the best gift I have ever received and the warmest one. I highly recommend this parka.
Warm and stylish and light! I love this coat. I bought the black label version which is more expensive but worth every dollar more. This coat is stylish and fits so well. I looked for two years for the perfect winter coat to keep me warm and this is it! On the extreme cold days..I wear ski pants and am thus coat and am able to go for a nice long walk!
Great fit! This is the most expensive coat/parks I've ever bought but I'm so happy with it. Great length, fit (I'm tall and all other parkas were always either too short or too wide), love the feature with the sleeve. Good size hood, so far waterproof and I live in England! Love it :)
