    There’s lots of fake versions of Canada goose being sold the last few years

    There was a place on Moore st selling knock off versions of Canada goose and north face - it was near the French bakery place.

    young guy I worked with in a spar had one that on first glance looked the real thing but the logo said “Cananda goose” - he didn’t like ppl noticing that.



    You can get good copies on dhgate for 100euro. Not as high quality as the real jackets from Canada but good as you'd buy in any legit store here in Ireland with other brands.

    So....... You're telling me this store does not sell Canadian Geese to guard my house?

    Holly feck ..... I can someone please look at photo of my jacket and confirm if I follow in this bracket as I'm a tax payer and I only bought it because it went with my salomon trail runners ( that I wear around house and shops )

    What have I done!!!!

    I’d say you fall into the boot cut jeans bracket.

    Geez even a Beanie Hat is 250 euros with them. And you know it's made in China along side the Dunnes Beanie hat, it's just one has their logo, and one has the Dunnes Logo.
    What a world .

    I love Canada goose, but there are so many fakes everywhere. I think I counted 20k worth of jackets walking out of a local school. Not one of them real, but looked like high quality all the same.

    Don't know about Canada goose reps but some of the reps of other high end outdoor brands like arcteryx are of such good quality that even the companies have trouble initially in differentiating between a rep and an original. I imagine that both are coming out of the same factory in Vietnam.

    I bet Brown Thomas & Harrods are sorry they invested in Canada Goose all the scummers in the shop roaring at each other. They will destroy the brand like they did to Burberry. I wouldnt be seen dead in one even if they do cost a grand,

    Probably not. The skanger demographic is one of BT’s main customer base now. At least for menswear. Who else has that kinda money to throw away on clothes? Other than the mega rich D4s of course


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I remember seeing this story before Christmas that BT and Arnotts staff had undergone Anti Money Laundering training...

    https://amp.independent.ie/irish-news/news/arnotts-and-brown-thomas-train-staff-to-identify-money-laundering-39545192.html

    Also, if you spend more than €1500 in cash on one visit (may even include card too), you have to fill out a form. I would imagine that could be fun in menswear when Skanger McGee comes in to drop a couple of grand on Canada Goose and Balenciaga runners.

    I was in Brown Thomas recently and its a mad spot - 90% of the menswear section is young fellas (like 15-16) browsing and buying godawful €200 tshirts or €500 shoes. And of course, plenty of canada goose or those horrible stone island jackets. They cant all be drug dealers??

    Not surprised to see a full canada goose shop, good jackets but now completely tainted. See also, burberry.

    I am 47 (and male) and in my time have made a few sartorial purchases that in hindsight I couldn't really justify, but I have never in my life spent anything like €200 for a t-shirt or €500 for a pair of shoes.

    Or €1,500 for a coat, do they really cost that much??

    Is there any place in Ireland that sells poutine?

    I got a grand coat in Dunnes for €45.

    I actually thought it was some kind a Canadian fast food joint to be honest, or maybe a restaurant thatsoldthe Canadian national dish. Do the Canadians actually have a national dish?

    I would welcome a poutine place in fairness, one that does the smoked bacon/marinated beef etc toppings.

    That'd be class.

    if the dealers ad any brain they would walk around dressed as an accountant, they are just making it easy for the guards.

    It's amazing, the only food that is guaranteed to give me heartburn.

    The more "gourmet" poutine is pretty swish, like Sunday dinner gravy and all.

    Then there's the KFC secret menu poutine which is, unique.

    No, they certainly do not. https://www.brownthomas.com/brands/canada-goose/

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

    would there be many lads wearing the dealer uniform who arent into dealing and crime?
    I see this ejit clearly from Dublin but hours from it, in a small town, every day I see him walking around trying to look a hard man. He stands out like a sore thumb because the local culchie lads are going for the gaa shorts in winter look.
