    They’re not made in Vietnam either like the other posts alluded to. They’re made in... you guessed it... Canada.


    Sweet mother of feck they're expensive. Wouldnt you be scalded if you got them caught in some briars while out on a walk or if you spilled paint on it

    So they start at €400 approx. Some of the more expensive ones are a grand or so. Still more than I've ever paid for any coat but each to their own.

    They're made for Winter in Canada. Its probably worth the purchase there. I've never bought one but it they're anything like North Face they will last for years.

    At a stretch maybe the jackets are expensive for the filling and where they're made.

    Some of them actually look cheap, esp the shiny ones.

    But a fcuking beanie? Really? Like any other beanie but with a CG badge.

    amen

    If you feel the need to spend €1000 on a jacket to look like the man you need your f*cking head examined

    I really don't know where people get the idea that you have to look rich to be rich or be perceived as rich.

    don't believe that

    every one of these stores has those vacuum tube systems for delivering cash

    find it hard to believe that cash gets physically walked upstairs

    I used to work in the BT cash office and we didn't have vacuum tubes in operation. Cash was walked up to the cash office. At the end of the evening, there was literally a queue of staff with bags of cash from their tills depositing them to the cash office hatch. I left about 6 years ago so might have changed since.

    I like the two contrasting demographics that wear Canada Goose in Ireland:

    1. Wanna Scumbags and drug dealers

    2. Rich chinese students studying STEM

    I'd get one's buying them to keep them warm.
    However the guys I see wearing them generally wear them with shorts and whites socks pulled up high and sliders.
    Or if they do wear trackies with them. They leave their pasty ankles hanging out.

    I think snobbery over what people wear is the same for any wealth class. That is to say, I think denigrating someone for wearing 'expensive' clothes is as sad as calling someone out for wearing 'cheap' clothes. Its just snobbery.

    Nah mate im a millionaire. Everyone here sounds pathetic to me. Complaining about things they cant afford is truly a plebeian phenomenon. Dont own any CG jackets either. Dont care about it.

    Last year I called in to Canada Goose on Regent Street for the laugh. Well made jackets to be fair. Felt sorry for the guy working retail selling stupid stuff to fools. He said I looked great in the coat. Didn't have the heart to say I would never buy one in a million years.

    Who carries great wodges of cash around these days only securicor men and criminals.

    I use cash only because I'm not an idiot. I actually can't take anybody who uses card over cash seriously as a human adult. It's like they're lacking something upstairs.

    In saying that I'm caught short the odd time because there just isnt the amount of cash machines around as there used to be.

    Aren’t Canadian Goose
    Moncler, and stone island some of the most counter-feited brands out there at the minute?

    In fairness with Stone Island you can buy a Penney’s jumper and put the badge on. Similar if not better quality.

    I’m quite certain it’s nowhere near the same quality as Stone Island.

    Re all the drug dealer talk, young people living at home today have more disposable income than ever before even if they're working in McDonalds. When I was 18 I think the minimum wage was something like 6 quid. The cost of a pint, a fast food meal, et al hasn't went up dramatically in the years since, but the minimum wage has went up by what, 40 percent?

    Add in to that that back then most young lads went to pubs, nightclubs, 3 even 4 times a week.

    Pre Covid I dont think midweek socialising exists to the same extent it did years ago, I've been out in town in recent years on a midweek night after an Ireland match and you would struggle to see a crowded venue.

    I know at least 4 young lads who barely go to pubs and clubs, they far prefer getting stoned all weekend with mates. When I was young this was unheard of, anyone not into the nightlife scene was likely either a rocker, a fitness nut or a nerd.

    If you are taking home 350 per week and paying little to no rent to the parents a 500 quid jacket isnt as shocking as it was in your own youth.
