Canada goose

A global manufacturer of warm clothing for harsh weather - Canada Goose. This company with a world name and history of more than 60 years has found fans among celebrities, athletes, members of polar expeditions, and also entered the daily life of people, protecting them from the weather and cold weather.

Canada Goose is one of the world's leading manufacturers of luxury clothing, based on a small warehouse in Toronto. In 1957, Sam Teak founded Metro Sportswear, a company that specialized in the production of woolen vests, raincoats and snowmobile suits.

In the 1970s, a new stage in the development of Metro Sportswear begins. Sam Tick's son-in-law introduces innovative manufacturing ideas and also founds the brand Snow Goose, which will later be renamed Canada Goose.

In the 1980s, the founders of Canada Goose, inspired by the harsh conditions of the coldest place on earth, develop the Expedition Parka clothing line. These clothes were designed for expedition scientists at the station in Antarctica.

In 1997, Sam Tick's grandson Danny Reiss joins the family business, and in 2001 he becomes president of Canada Goose. Danny is working on the development of the company and is committed to maintaining the clothing motto: “Made in Canada.”

In 2007, Canada Goose joined Polar Bears International (PBI), a charitable foundation that supports the conservation of the Canadian Polar Bear population. The company has released a special PBI clothing collection and deducts $ 25 from each unit to support the conservation of the polar bear’s habitat.

In 2010, Canada Goose bought a manufacturing plant in Winnipeg to meet the growing demand for products and further strengthened the commitment that all products should be made exclusively in Canada.

In 2011, Canada Goose continues to introduce innovative production technologies, producing lighter materials suitable for diverse climatic conditions and vigorous activity. This is, for example, the HyBridge Lite jacket, which is marked as “the best backcountry jacket” in the prestigious Gear of the Year nomination from Outside magazine.

In 2016, Canada Goose opened two first flagship stores located in Toronto and New York. The stores combine the Canada Goose Arctic heritage with modern innovative technologies and offer customers the widest choice of products: different colors, styles, unique exclusive models.

Canada Goose’s main concern is to control product authenticity. Since 1957, high-quality raw materials and the skill of the best workers have been used to produce this brand of clothing.

Natural fur is used for tailoring, but production is based on the responsible use of animal products. Moreover, when selecting products of the Canada Goose brand, buyers are directly involved in the preservation and maintenance of the polar bear population of Canada and their ecological habitat.

Clothing of the Canadian brand is widely recognizable and has found its fans among world celebrities: actors, broadcasters, travelers, athletes. Jackets, parks, vests can be seen in the world-class movies, computer games about the ice age, on the leading TV shows. This choice confirms the quality and practicality of clothing, which is tested by the most severe conditions.

For the production of the entire product range, the company uses proven materials and technologies. Since the company was founded, all products have been manufactured in Canada.

The marking of the thermal characteristics of clothing is presented in the Thermal Experience Index (TEI) system - in five ranges.. The temperature range, which corresponds to clothing - from +50 to -300 C.

Fabrics are designed for a specific temperature, protect from wind and rain, provide comfort and ease of care for products. For children's clothing, special types of fabrics have been developed that fully meet the needs of babies.

The company implements a comprehensive tracking program for materials for production (Goose Down Transparency Standard and Canada Transparency Standard) to ensure that the down of birds and animal fur are obtained from creatures that have not been subjected to inhuman treatment. Canada Transparency Standard confirms that the company never buys materials from fur farms, does not use the fur of endangered animals.

Fur raw materials are bought from licensed North American hunters, which are strictly regulated by state, provincial and federal standards. All fur used in Canada Goose products includes labeling of the country of origin (as of April 2017).

For the best protection against cold and wind, products use a special distribution according to the Thermal Mapping technology: down is distributed and fixed in specially stitched cells over the entire product, interacts with the fabric as much as possible for best heat preservation.

For tailoring used high-quality accessories from manufacturers with the same long history and impeccable reputation, like Yoshida Kogyosho. Since 1934, this company began its work on the production of fasteners. Now it is a world famous company that produces lightning, buttons and other accessories with recognizable letters on its products (YKK).

Another supplier of zippers and other accessories with a no less impressive history (since 1936) is Rirl.

Quality control is carried out from down farm producers to the final production stage. The worldwide popularity and quality of clothes by Canada Goose explain the growing interest in the manufacture of fakes of these products.

In order not to get a low-quality item or a fake, you should pay attention to the following details:

• Fur on the hood - coyote fur is used with natural colors, uniform length and thickness, soft to the touch. The use of the fur of other animals for the original products of the brand is unacceptable.
• The composition of the material is polyester and cotton (in the ratio of 85% to 15%). The fabric is dense, with textured weave, soft and pleasant to the touch, not wrinkled.
• Cut and decorative items. Cutting clothes is quite simple, without unnecessary details and seams.The most common Canada Goose mid-thigh winter jackets do not have excessive volume. All clothes are designed for everyday wear, casual style and fit perfectly on the figure.
• Emblem. On the original product, the Canada Goose emblem is sewn on the sleeve with neat uniform stitches and with the obligatory depiction of maple leaves.
• The inner side of the product. Mandatory presence of the company logo on the sewn triangular cut, loop-hanger indicating the product model, side stitched tags with the company hologram and recommendations for the care of the product, as well as the composition of the filler.
• The correctness of writing - all the names on the tags, company logos should be of high quality and easy to read, without typos.
• Price range - the cost of the original brand products is in the high price range, the average price of a winter jacket is 750-1000 dollars.

The choice of world celebrities speaks about the quality and reputation of the company better than any advertisements. Nicholas Cage, Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Matt Damon and many others became fans of the “warm” brand.

After several seasons, the socks of the brand's clothing fully justifies the cost of the purchase: it does not lose its appearance and its characteristics, protects from wind and rain, does not fade, does not fade. It fits well on the figure, and the size range of the company allows you to choose the right size for each family member.

Buyers particularly note the functionality of a hood with coyote fur trim. The original product has a metal structure that allows you to simulate the shape of the hood and more reliably protect the face and neck from the weather.

Numerous reviews about the functionality of the vests. They can be used both in the most insignificant cold and in severe frosts. Such clothes are worn over ski suits or lightweight jackets.

Buyers believe that the choice of children's clothing of this brand is also justified. Children grow quickly, and therefore designers have provided special items that are on the zippers. They allow you to lengthen the product as the baby grows. That is why the cost of the purchase is fully justified by more than one season socks.

Among the shortcomings of clothes Canada Goose can be noted a large number of fakes and high price. Fakes are sold everywhere, they are made in China. On closer examination, they can be quite distinguished from the original. Of course, if you really want to buy the original product, you should not save.
