Why are Canada Goose jackets so expensive?

#firstworldproblems #cozy http://www.canada-goose.com/
Canada Goose has been manufacturing outerwear in Canada since 1947. The garments have been popular in Scandinavia since 1998 and became popular in Canada in about 2008.






Like many world-leading brands, our success has led to our products being copied by counterfeiters. http://www.canada-goose.com/counterfeit/

I missed this meeting. I was shopping duh!
So why are the goose jackets NOT subsidized????
If people could afford this they would be happier and warmer waiting for bus to go to work no? This will create more jobs.

[troncarver]

get a hood lamb jacket instead

made in amsterdam, i got one from amsterdam show many years back

[Choopa_Pardo]

Yes, you missed the meeting, and you were supposed to bring the Timmies. Its OK, Bill from Vancouver and Joe from Moosejaw weren't there either. But to stay on point, If they were subsidized, then they would have to either raise taxes higher than what they currently are, or pull funds from the Canadian Military, so we'd most likely have to forgo a used British Nuclear Submarine or two. If that happens, then the Royal Canadian Navy would have to take one, or all, of the submarines from the West Edmonton Mall to compensate. You wouldn't want that kind of blood on your hands would you?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH you understand.

[Mutt]

they're so expensive because that's what the company is producing and marketing - a luxury brand. they don't want everybody to buy/afford them, they want everybody to want them, making the people who can afford them feel better about themselves because they are wearing something others want but can't afford.

those coats i'm sure are very high quality but they could be sold at half the price and still at a profit but it wouldn't be a luxury brand anymore.

[Sophie Delancey]

I've never been a fan. I love longer coats, so my TNA baby is the way to go.

Luxury brand - Fair enough but they even seem to be insulated(?) different. They are made much thinner. Like other down filled jackets you wear, they are very heavy/thick and make you look like you are a white polar bear. You know?
Please send trade secrets of thin warm Canada Goose jacket and your explanation.

They have a good tool if buying the jackets online, you can check if the retailer is authentic and if it's an authorized retailer. Pretty cool http://www.canada-goose.com/counterfeit/

I seem to remember a trend though with the Urban youth wearing them in the middle of summer though.. I think it was late 90's or early 2000's. Goose down Parka, work boots (with the laces undone) and one pant leg up.. and one down, in the middle of July. I'm wondering how the hell they pulled that off when I sweat balls in one in the 4 days of the year it's actually needed.

In the 90's it was called BUMMER jackets, like hello, cheap stuff!!


Canada Goose has only really been popular for the last few years or so.

[Ryley]

I had a Canada Goose a few years ago. I got rid of it, because I was tired of wearing the same thing as everyone else. I have not found anything comparable to it. On cold mornings it's almost as if you have not left your bed!

[Makaveli]

Had mine now for about 3 years. You could could go out topless under it in -40 and wouldn't feel a thing. Drawback, your hot as shit when you get inside the mall or where ever you're going.

[JayDeeZee]

Because of the dozens of geese and coyote they need to kill to make them.

[SexKey Scott]

Tidbit - "Wawa is a family-run business, the employees of Wawa also hold a relatively large percentage of stock. Most Wawas are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The chain's name comes from the site of the company's first milk plant and corporate headquarters in the Wawa, Pennsylvania area. The name of the town Wawa is in turn derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada Goose (taken from "The Song of Hiawatha").[8] An image of a goose in flight serves as the Wawa corporate logo"

[shake]

I first heard about them from people spamming my blogs with their knockoffs for sale

[sperbonzo]

I'm pretty sure that Canadian Geese are unionized. That's your problem, right there....

[Nick-Mindgeek]

You cant go 1 min in Montreal without seeing a Canada Goose Jacket in Winter.
Can't deny their quality but they are def not original anymore.

[Sid70]

I pay $40.

[facialfreak]

If you ever tried to catch a Canada Goose, you'd know why the jackets are so damn expensive!! LOL

[Shannon G]

BB - I heard Ed was getting you one of those for your company holiday present!!!

[Socks]

Yeah they're a total status symbol here. Every second person has one. Mostly young people asking their parents to pay $700+ for shit they could never buy for themselves, but want their kids to have on Christmas.

The worst is when I see a young couple pushing a baby stroller around, and both parents have the jackets.

The "I have something you can't afford hahahaha" craze has really taken off here.

I got my top of the line Columbia winter jacket with the silver lining inside for $100. Best they make. It was last year's model, and has "something" wrong with it. No idea what that might be.

Why am I frustrated with conspicuous consumption? It's gaudy.

The number of people who can "afford" does not add up to the number of people parading themselves around wearing their paychecks is all. The numbers don't add up.

It's just a bit sad that younger people are as smart as they've ever been, but still can't see they're being pimped by companies, or even worse, know they're being raped but don't mind, because at least strangers will be jealous of them.

C'mon Marina you live here.. You know what I'm talking about. The number of people trying very, very hard to look rich is at epidemic levels.
