CG has become douchbag central around here and at the end of the trend cycle for the second time, so damn sad.

I wouldn't call CG a lifetime investment due to the fact that the pockets starts to look worn real quick and the velcro rips the end of the sleeve and the deal breaker, they only make two coats that are waterproof.


If its raining its too warm for a goose

P.S. I know they're only showing XXL, but try calling them if you're desperate. Lastly, I (kinda) successfully removed the logo arm patch, so it's doable for those of you who are wondering.

for those with calgary or have tried one on, im 5'7 140lbs and wear a small in most brands and am a 36 chest. i thought since calgary is slim and was part of the japanese line, that small would be fine ... or do you think i need to size down to XS?

I agree. Originally it was mostly azn hypebeasts who wore it, but now I see fratboys and guys in their 40s trying to be the cool dad wearing Canada Goose.

*Looks at location*

Great, I still have a few more years of being a non-douche in America.

5'8'', 135 or so. I had to get an XS in the chiliwack if that's any help.

Ohh, right I forgot about that. Well, Context has measurements for the Manitoba which is also in the travel collection, so that might help you.

I have a black calgary size small, ( i'm 5'7 120 lbs )
Still roomy for me, i could've went xs but i wanted the option to layer
I would suggest a small for you korean dude, check holts, due west, rainbow jeans, ssense, harry rosen, corey's, etc. seems like a crapload of retailers in toronto are carrying the goose this year
holts service is exceptionally well, if another location has stock, they will hold it or ship it to the location where you want to pick up
try calling uncle otis, they are better that way

I live in Scandinavia and I'm a dog owner, so our climate is a bit different, than the Canadian also being a dog owner I spend most of my time while outside standing still looking at my dog playing.

Around here the first time around (7 years ago) it was primary rich stylish young people, the second time it was people hoping they had died as a trend and hoped it had turned in a classic, but that failed.

I was in the Scandinavian importers shop earlier this week and one of the biggest douches I have seen in a while, was trying on PBI edition and was saying the seal logo was great, so people couldn't see it was a goose, well the bright blue colour and the other logos could be a tell.

Seal? As in the animal? I guess dude didn't realize that it's Polar Bear International, eh? Oh well, if I keep warm at the expense of looking a tad douchey that 's ok. It's only for three or four months anyways.

i dunno the whole argument of asian hipsters and now EVERYONE wearing cg is news to me. when im in NYC or even in DC, its only North Face everywhere. the few who are more "fashionable" and want to show off have the flashy/shiny monclers. never really seen that many CG's
