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.
LOVE THIS COAT! My husband and I bought this coat as a Christmas gift to each other. He got black and so that I wouldn't be matching I got the RED! Love it!!! i get complements every time I wear it. Its very warm and very comfortable and non restricting for such an oversized coat. Great fit with a flattering profile. We are both really happy with our "Geese" ( my college daughter also has one :)
Best. Parka. Ever. I bought this jacket last year and I absolutely love it. I wish I didn't wait so long to go through with the purchase! It is worth every penny that I spent on it. It keeps me warm, it's very flattering, and it's perfect for all outdoor activities.
Love it. I purchased this coat in Oct 2015 and have worn it several times.The coat is very warm. I would like it if the coat had larger security pockets and cell phone pockets on the interior. The hood could also be lined as well. I highly recommend this coat.
