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.
Excellent,im very happy with my parka , the size is good all is good for this brand
I love this coat! Just want to say thank you to Canada goose for sending me my coat so quickly I did pay for express delivery and it got here super quick with no hassle. Now on to the coat, I was ages trying to decide between one of these and a moncler after trying on loads of moncler coats I decided against moncler and made my choice of the Canada goose, I found it a real struggle to find my size in any uk stockists the biggest I could find was XL and that didn't quite fit. That's when I came across the shelburne is XXL and I wasn't going to let this one get away! I received my coat within 2 days (express delivery) and although the coat was quite pricey I was over the moon with it! It fits perfect! I still have room for a light jumper underneath my coat, although it is not needed as this coat is so warm! I highly recommend this coat for people who are on the large'er side as it's such a good fit! Hope this helps!
So far so good!! Purchased for the wife as a Christmas present. So far she is pleased, although she says the reversed zipper (opposite of normal women's attire) takes a little getting used to.
