White rice or fried rice?

Fuck Canada Goose. I paid hundreds of dollars for the Fission SV and it was made in China. I basically paid for a logo because I could buy the same "quality" jacket for like 3x less.

>>14955191
no but if youre going to the arctic it makes sense

Skip CG and Nobis, if you want a really sexy jacket, check out Mooseknuckles. There's an outlet store in Mirabel QC (Near Montreal) that I'm gonna hit up once the chilly season weans over.

>>14955191
go back to China, chang

no they arent Mr Chang, dog fur isnt effay.

NO. MK is worse than those other two, I live in the GTA; I see mroe of those 3 brands than most people. I don't have an answer, but definitely not MK. Maybe Mackage?

>>14956355
actual zionist brand

It's for the dregs who like to feel like they are not dregs. Also, the owners are Israelis.

This. I’m in Canada and 95% of the time I see these it’s on some Chinese student. Runner up is middle eastern

Honestly, KANUK is more fa than all the above, more lowkey, sober.

Had no idea they were Jew-owned? Thanks anon. What about Moncler? Kinda ugly, IMO, but...

>>14955191
keeps you warm. its not stylish but functional. not at all worth the price though

I'm actually Jewish myself and I can't stand the Israelis. Smarmy, pushy af.
One good thing about the Israelis though, they are very sociable.

I look on the Israelis as on subhumans tbqh famalam

Low IQ subhuman merchants

>>14956475
why do you buy everything from subhumans?

>>14956481
What do you mean

>>14955201
this is arcteryx retard

Like everything, depends on how you wear it. The Chilliwack is ugly/overrated IMO but most of the parkas are nice. The Chateau would be my pick, mostly because of the pocket configuration.

>>14955201
Besides the "completely different Canadian brand with a completely different ethos, wtf are you on about" factor others have commented on already, "made in China" is no longer an indicator of bad quality in technical apparel, and in fact there's some things (both manufacturing technologies, and actual stuff done in the garment) that are *only* done in factories in China.

The Fission SV is one of the best insulated jackets in the world, and Arc'Teryx (while they do make bullshit and overrated stuff, like everyone, and IMO their aesthetic can get too austere) is at the top level in terms of quality and refinement for outdoor gear. They're not going to fuck around with production.

Chilliwack and Expedition were the first ubiquitous Canada Goose jackets.

No, get this instead.

>>14957180
>"made in China" is no longer an indicator of bad quality
Fuck. Off.

I only buy local.

>>14957208
Why do you think I'm wrong? Why do you think Chinese people are incapable of operating a modern (never mind cutting edge), QC'd production line?

I don't know where Arc sources the Fission SV, but probably the best technical apparel factory in the world is in China – KTC's in Heshan. It's where Gore goes for production of their own label stuff, Outlier has produced there, etc. Originally Adidas was a major client but KTC ended the relationship because the volume was too high for the way they want to run.

Meanwhile, there's shit tier DGAF sweatshops in the major prestige sites, often with migrant and often Chinese labor – Portugal, Italy, the US, and yes, Canada.

It's literally 2020. Geography isn't shit.

they're pretty good quality, but quite expensive and have turned into a ''luxury brand''. if you work outdoors, or live up north where it's always cold they're probably worth it. lots of film set crews wear them because specific models are quite utilitarian and warm when you're standing around outside. i'd still consider buying one, but i'd pull the labels off. i do think the quality has deteriorated a bit. there's plenty of comparable options priced much better.

used to work at a store that sold the most canada goose. on a weekend store wide we could do close to $50K in sales across mens and ladies. it was at the point where we'd have 4-5 people working the section, and still had customers waiting around. people would go crazy about them. a lot of people would buy them for family overseas. i remember one wednesday morning when a tourist bus of koreans came in. pretty sure this bus specifically came to buy canada goose. in an instant i was swarmed by people who spoke no english trying to buy abunch of coats. there was a lot of pointing involved.

I don't buy brands that sell at Costco or go on sale at all.

>>14955191
None of the dentists or foreign students who wear these need them.

Don't ever compare yves salomon to that you piece of shit.

ITT people who cant afford CG

>>14957783
Their jackets are like what? 800-1000 bucks?
The fuck would I buy a jacket that will get stolen after a week or get me yelled at by angry animal rights activists.

And they dont have a single good looking jacket.

Besides, they were like hot shit 10 years ago, I dont know why you guys are suddenly picking up on it.

>>14957791
This.
Buy an Alpha Industries N3B in black for a 1/5th of the cost and still be warm and /fa/

>>14957791
Not to mention, worn primarily by junior high/high schoolers. If you want to look like you're attending senior year of high school for the 4th time, sure, go for it.

>>14957348
yep that's the place. was decent for a part time job. stocked up on lots of other brands at steep discounts.

>>14957924
Okay so you think that, *why*?

And also what makes you think you know more about production than the people at fucking Gore?

Also, again

>Meanwhile, there's shit tier DGAF sweatshops in the major prestige sites, often with migrant and often Chinese labor – Portugal, Italy, the US, and yes, Canada.

And while ofc Arc'Teryx's Vancouver factory isn't a shit tier DGAF sweatshop, I had a hunch, a fifth of Vancouverites are ethnically Chinese...

https://hikinginfinland.com/2016/09/arcteryx-workshop-tour.html

Ofc you can't tell anyone's ethnicity specifically from photos, but most of the employees pictured appear to be East Asian.

nobody gives a flying fuck when someone has Canada Goose; actually whenever I see some queer from California wearing their parka when it's 40 degrees it brings me closer and closer to selling my house

>>14959055
fwiw, which is basically nothing, no I'm Irish/German. My interest in this is 1) that racism like yours is noxious af to everyone and 2) excellence deserves to be recognized and championed. If you want to talk about excellence in technical garment craftsmanship, you're going to be talking about Chinese people and factories today.

Don't get it twisted, if Arc'Teryx's Vancouver facility really was materially better than the top tier of Chinese production, I'd say so. But it's just not true. It's one of a number of facilities around the world, more of them in China than not (and this is a question of size yes, which also plays into quality – you're not going to find anywhere with more experienced people than Guangdong, probably a lot of people in Arc'Teryx's factory once worked in ones in Guangdong), producing technical garments at the highest levels.

The bottom end of garment production is leaving China, and winding up in places like Bangladesh... the reasons why are obvious. A quick Google places the average monthly wage for a garment worker in China at about $420 and Bangladesh at about $35 (though ftr this is just a direct currency conversion not PPP or anything fancy).

>>14957897
Used to work there and I hear they are panicking since Canada Goose is not selling as well as it used to

>>14957250
>if you work outdoors, or live up north where it's always cold they're probably worth it.
I do both but I wear Helly Hansen because I don't want to look like a FOB.

>>14957394
They signal tribalist in group preference. That might not be their conscious intention, but sub-consciously their genes mad them all dress like that.

most likely. i quit 2ish years ago. it was still selling well, but so much of the growth of the company and there expectations came from selling canada goose. in the winter i'm sure 30-40% of there revenue came from that brand alone. they got by because they would order so much, so when harry rosen or some small boutique sold out of there 50 units, people would come there.
now it's sold in more locations, and canada goose is opening up there own stores so much more availability. not to mention people would steal those jackets all the time, loss was a big issue.
this happened when i worked there.https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/police-investigating-robbery-after-pickup-truck-crashes-into-store-at-sherway-gardens-1.1458058

>>14955191
Bought the Langford and love it. Was hoping they'd release it in brown this year but they didn't introduce it in the lineup so went for military green. Big fan of it especially since I never really had a real parka and in -20 weather I'd still be wearing a hoodie, peacoat, and a scarf. The Langford looks good and is very warm imo. Worth the price for me since I'm only going to buy one parka anyway and I want it to be warm.

>>14959625
anon is dropping knowledge and you're dropping meme replies

>>14960053
If you worked at the sherway store there is a decent chance we worked there at the same time

haha yeah i did indeed work there. i think from 2012ish to 2017ish.

So what's even better than CG?

>>14955191
I have a chiliwack bomber from 2012-13 and can swear by it for its cold resistance. It's definitely warm but it looks so god damn stupid and puffy. Quality is there for the older jackets that were made in Ontario but I wouldn't recommend newer models as there are slight changed in quality.

My sister and gf have parkas from 2018-19 and the fur has gotten all stiff and feels remarkably worse than mine. I've also noticed that the colour on the newer jackets doesn't seem to withstand the elements as well as the older ones but this is on a case by case basis. Not to say the colour fades, but comparing my black bomber to newer ones, I can swear on the fact that friction and minor wear has caused some discoloration.

I took the DESCENTE: ALLTERRAIN pill and never looked back

>>14955211
Canada Goose, TNF, Moose Knuckle, Mackage, Nobis, and even Arc'Teryx are meh at best. They all get the job done and you'd probably be better off with some of their mid range products.

>meh at best
>some of this is what people wear when their lives literally depend on it

Don't get me wrong, all of those companies make some stuff that's just straight up cash in bullshit, but a few of those make actual, very much not mid range, performance gear.

>>14959169
In my city, everybody and their mother and father wear HH to the point where it seems like a cult thing. Like you can't go a day without seeing a HH sailing jacket (and it's always a sailing jacket and nothing else).
People fucking wear them to hockey matches like bruv why you wanna look like you just jogged here from the park. They don't wear sweatpants to dinner so why do they think a sailing jacket is fooken swag. I saw a bloke wear his sailing jacket inside a bar with popped fuckin' collars m8. Oh look at this fuck lad he's got a fooken sailing jacket and he even popped his collars? Oh man that's Helly Hansen he's wearing best not fuck with him even tho he's 5'9'. Well at least he won't get cold inside.
Fookin hell

I hated chicks like this

I live in one of the coldest cities in the world(Winnipeg, MB. Theres usually a span of two weeks where its at -40C with windchill each year) and the ONLY people i see wearing Canada goose are thots and asians. It might be because those are the only people who can afford it(sugar daddies and well connected chinese parents at home giving blank cheques to the actual wearers) but i also think it might have to do with the image.
10 years ago it was kinda unique and special. Now its clearly just a status symbol thats been taken over by certain demographics(chinks and hoes) that most people dont want to be associated with. The fact that the quality has plummeted is also worth considering. I mean its Canadian made ones are actually produced in Winnipeg, but thats not even half of their catalogue anymore. Most is made in China.
If you have the money, id suggest arcteryx, but honestly they're heading towards the same issue as Canada goose... They're just taking a bit longer. The quality of their stuff has also started to drop.

What’s wrong with people in the west? I can afford this jacket living in fucking Bulgaria, just don’t need it because here is pretty warm. It’s cheaper than new iphone and lasts for many years.

For the price of a Canada Gook you could buy GTX Pro bib, GTX Pro hardshell jacket, merino wool baselayer set, a fleece and a 800 cuin+ down jacket.

They did a rework of their business model at some point which turned them into a fashion brand.

an iphone is way more expensive to produce than a canada goose. silly to compare the two
