I would get it for the warmth, not the appendage measuring contest.
*After thinking about it, it’s shocking how many people here think the only value of a product is the brand and not the actual product.
big fan of debadging. its not always necessary but it sure feels good to not be a billboard
People who wear t-shirts advertising expensive brands mystify me. Ryan George has a funny YT about this.
Yeah I hate any clothing with branding on it. I even hate how trucks now stamp the entire tailgate with their name.
Clothing companies should stick to little tags on the collar with their name on it.
Anyone know if we’ve got some kinda brandless/debadging community in the Fediverse? Seems like the sort of place one would thrive, but finding communities isn’t very straightforward to a newb like me.
Once my car was paid off I told the people of the dealership I wanted their badges removed. And the guy tried to talk me out of it saying by now it would leave a clean spot under it. I told him to do it anyway
Are they expensive or something? Usually outerwear that has an elevated status is high quality, such as north face or Carhartt.
Very much so, they have become a status symbol for some people.
They used to be incredibly well made, I believe they still are but the draw for many people is the name and known high price tag.
Aren’t they made with real fur?
They were. They used coyote fur from places where coyotes were being too invasive, but they don’t use fur anymore.
You’d be destroying half of its value. If you want a warm coat buy one without the label on it in the first place and save a shit ton of money
Per my text box:

Value is in the warmth, not the look at me badge.

Canada Goose is the warmest, high quality, lifetime warranty, and made in Canada. That’s the value. Do you think the antarctic program picked Canada Goose because of brand imaging? No. Because they are the best parkas. Didn’t think I would have had to post to unpopular opinion.
Antarctic program probably chose Canada Goose because they gave a special discount in exchange for brand recognition.
Oh yea, decades before they started trying to sell to anything other than hardcore cold weather people. /s
I don’t support animal cruelty, so I’d never get a Canada Goose jacket.
Same. I live where it gets to -30F or -40F, and I could be out in it all day long in my synthetic filled snowboarding jacket. There’s no need for down.
Is that a feels like or an actual temperature?
Actual temperatures. It’s not unusual for it to hit -20F or -30F here in the winter.
I live in Winterland and have multiple Canada goose locations near me. I bought a $50 winter coat on Amazon this year and it’s been great in -18 wind chill. The last time I bought a winter coat was 20 years ago and it too was cheap. It’s fine to spend the money but you don’t have to.
Laughs in daytime high of -30 C (not a feels like, an actual temperature).
