Canada Goose - uniform of finance?

Because they're warm and the NE is cold AF. At one point it seemed like every third person in Toronto had one but now people have branched out to some of the copycat brands in Mackage / Moose Knuckles / parajumpers / Nobis.

Everyone in Boston wears them . Too bad their fur hoods are made out of trapped Coyotes.

At one point almost everyone here in Toronto had one. There was even a coat check service at the Air Canada Centre just for people with Canada Goose jackets. That was about 3 years ago and the hype has died down here since then.

Lol literally everyone at my school swags around with one of these

You should see what it's like in Toronto guys

If you spend so much on a winter jacket, wouldn't you want to look a bit more original and classy? It's not that cold here, in NYC.

I'm going to drop this here:

Those jackets are overplayed and boring AF. As someone else said, if you're going to pay that much you should get something with style.

New Yorkers who are fashionably behind people in "America's hat" have zero sense of style.

That is basically the winter uniform for the girls at my uni in Canada. I don't see the what the big deal is.

Back home in Norway Canada Goose is the norm among everyone. Since moving to London I see them popping up everywhere in the city as well now, even when its around 5 - 10 C

You start seeing them at college campuses too. I see a good amount of people at my school wearing it, both guys and girls. Never noticed it before this semester.

This company is bastardizing the rich heritage of the Branta Canadensis

Good Canadian company backed by Bain.

I see these things everywhere now also. Just another fad I suppose. It has been a completely mild winter so I don't buy the cold as fuck argument. This is essentially the north face with uggs fad that hit college campuses.

Check these guys out. I saw them all over Iceland when I went to Reykjavik a couple years ago. If you are going to go with that look at least get something unique.

meanwhile it's 90+ in buenos aires... uff

I don't get it. It is a solid product + a premium brand commanding a higher price. Lots of people pay for the exact same specification in multiple product categories.

For example, Majority of Analyst + Associate bankers where suits from the same companies and buy Tag or equivalent watches.

I personally have no issue if someone were to buy this.

I think they blew up when Kate "Cheese Tits" Upton rocked one on the cover of SI, but everyone forgets the OG that wore it first back in 2004: http://www.lorettco.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nicholascagecg.jpg

To answer your question, they are everywhere in NYC because people lack originality.

I'd probably sport one if I was mounted on a tauntaun searching for my lost friend on the ice world of Hoth but walking up 5th Avenue? Meh...

Those jackets look like shit and have shit quality. Then again I don't expect much out of Americans when it comes to fashion (I hear 80's-style leather jackets like Members Only are going to be in vogue in the US soon.)

I saw one a while back (like 8-10 years ago) and it was from a trip to the south pole. I think it came as part of the expedition package the woman had. Cool patch from the trip, etc. That I could get behind.

As far as it being work professional, I can't see it. I wear navy/grey/camel three quarter length overcoats. One has thinsulate for very cold days. Those jackets would look appropriate on the ski slope or something similar.

Canada Goose is made for girls from Long Island

because they can't afford Moncler

Back in Sweden Canada Goose was all the hype 7-8 years ago. Now you will only find them among the local thugs in less than flattering neighborhoods...
