Coyote's are extremely dangerous animals, especially when they're wearing rocket powered roller skates and holding sticks of TNT. I always felt sooty for that poor fucker Beep beep I always wanted him catch the smarmy bastard aswell.

I have a Canada Goose gilet that I actually got from a charity shop in Alderley Edge for £15. It's decent but you'd have to be off your rocker to pay the £400 in store price for it.....

Given that you have no idea what animal is being killed I doubt very much whether you have any idea of the trapping techniques used. Many of the trappers are first nations peoples who know more about what's right and wrong in the trapping department than me and you. He’s a First Nation from the Staffordshire moorlands and he knows about trapping, how do you think that they get their mates to breed with ? He sends a couple of ferret down the burrow then pens em in, backs to the wall?

Great coats as long as you don’t mind the killing of wolves to make them 🤦♂️ I walked past a load of people protesting outside a store on regents street in London a couple of years ago, no idea what it was for as had never heard of them, had to look it up.

They make great play on their website that they only use fur/down from sustainable sources. I have no idea whether this is true or not but it is (according to them) one of their strengths. If anyone wants to keep warm at footy matches for a fraction of the price then a high "fill power" down jacket from any respected mountain wear manufacturer (Rab, North Face, Mountain Equipment etc. etc.) will do the job at a fraction of the price of a Canada Goose. However, the unique selling point of Canada Goose is that it is designed as a work coat in places such as Antarctica and it does that job superbly. But given the price (and the need to save weight) most mountaineers and footy fans who are not £millionaires would be better buying a Rab down jacket or similar knowing that they could throw them away as they got damaged or wore out, and buy another FOUR OR FIVE TIMES before they have spent as much as they would spend on a Canada Goose. Having said that, if I had Sir Peter's money, or if I worked for the Antarctic Survey, I'd go for a Canada Goose!

Did anyone else clock Peter Coates' Canada Goose jacket on Saturday night. My lad told me they cost about a grand. Did look cosy though. Thought it was Stone Island only with our fan base??? That's the story??

I’ll have to ask her Believe CG Snow Mantra range is indeed seen by some as the way to go...though they’re serious money even by Canada Goose standards ..circa £1400 , you definitely wouldn’t want a snide one down there ..

I'm astonished that Canada Goose has become such a popular brand noting its use of fur. Remember this from way back in 1984, which was sort of instrumental in setting the public mood against fur. Who'd have thought a company could become so popular these days on the back of a fur product.

It's pretty easy to source a fake a Canada Goose badge and sew or stick it on a cheap coat from Primark. Most chavs you see looking like they have spunked a grand on a posh coat have done this. I am not of course suggesting that our beloved chairman has gone down the chav route

I saw 3 vale fans walk in the Post Office Vaults one sat. morning b4 a game and they all had exactly the same coat on (Canada goose) plus a fourth guy in the beer garden wearing one. All identical. I presume they were either copies or a job lot off of a ram raid. It was summer and they looked ridiculous Probably worth more than their houses.

In my area of the US they trap coyotes whenever possible (In relocation traps) and shift them to other wildlife lands. There have been attacks on domestic pets and livestock. Like many feral animals, some carry rabies, (like the fans at Molineaux). They face no predators except humans & vehicles, so the population has exploded over the past few years - they are even starting to show up in cities. I remember seeing a video of them roaming Phoenix, AZ foraging in dumpsters (So they must be Liverpool fans). With their population exploding and the human population doing the same - habitats are colliding.
Locally I see them semi-regularly, almost always at night and they quickly shy away. They have jumped 6 foot tall (Approx. 1.8 meter) privacy fencing to get at pets so my 20 lb. Boston Terrier doesn't go out at night unless one of us is with her. My next door neighbor watched one hurdle his fence just last week - as soon as it spotted him, it quickly leapt back over. They've attacked/killed 3 small dogs in my town over the past couple of years. I was shocked at how small they are. (Approx. size of a medium sized dog) Only time I've heard of any being shot at was when they were pack-attacking cattle, but that is rare. A landowner once told me that a single shot even in the air will scatter them - they aren't stupid. Some have expressed concern that a pack will attack a child, but no instances of that yet. I hear them in packs out in the fields at night (Like drunk Man City fans whooping and hollering) - but you usually only see one (Must be the scout) and he runs off.
You can differentiate them from dogs at night because of the yellowy eyes. But no sightings of the ice age coming or the sun zooming in yet.

Some nice descriptions on there Since the first lockdown we had in March we have seen a massive amount of wildlife come into the city not dissimilar to the goats in Llandudno. Coyote sightings/numbers were up 67% at the start of the year and have only increased, we have moose and Lynx (bobcats) wandering around our suburb on a regular basis and during the summer the black bears have been in the yards too. The real scary ones are the cougars though, they are the only predator that the coyotes face apart from us. Many pet kills are not reported because they are so frequent. Our friend had to listen to their cat being pulled apart in their neighbours backyard a couple of months back.

I'm glad you reminded me. About 3 years ago a mountain lion wandered into a neighborhood across town and carried off the family dog. Neither were seen again. But this is so rare, I would gather to guess that we'd be lucky to have 3 of them in the whole state of Oklahoma.
And like you I agree - there's nothing wrong with keeping numbers in check. (On humans or coyotes) lol.
We are lucky in one respect - no bears around here.

I toyed with the idea of getting a CG jacket when I was working in Kazakhstan. I didn't want the big explorer coat because the coats our company gave us for the really serious parts of the Kazakh winter were plenty good enough. I looked at the Chilliwack? range which are for slightly warmer climates. I decided in the end that it was not required as 90% of the Winter temperatures in Kazakhstan where I was could be dealt with by using a £100 down jacket and some layering. A load of guys from the UK were wearing the CG jackets but they were not required and any decent coat from the UK would have been ok for Kazkahstan. I think anyone under the age of 70 wearing a CG coat in the Uk is doing it primarily for fashion purposes. The UK in Winter is too hot to be wearing most of the CG range. I recall the Chilliwacks being popular in London with the people in the City - definitely a fashion accessory there rather than a functional necessity. Even the Kazakhs were wearing CG coats in 2018-19 and they can get local coats that are just as good for a fraction of the price. I suspect they may have been fakes although sometimes they can get the Canadians or Americans to bring a legit one over in their checked in baggage from North America at the cheapest price ($900 v £900).

There’s others in the wings hoping to be the next ‘fashion , ie moncler , they’re actually probably more suited for the leisure / market , rather than rigours of top , top high end performance , , more slimline fit , is a candidate , but they’re dearer still than CG , so will CG wearers move brand into them .. ..or possibly ARC'TERYX..time will tell

My wife has had the Chilliwack parka for about 6 years and it looks like new. The quality is off the charts. My lightweight Perren is 3 years old and is good but not to the parka standard but then it only cost half of what the parka does. I don't rate the Moncler product at all but the Arcteryx are generally a very good coat and decent price. Bear in mind that in Calgary we can have snow anywhere between September and June so a good coat is essential but nothing beats layering up.

I'm trying to get my head around Canada Goose coats made from wild coyotes. Do wild coyotes have feathers? OS. Me too. But someone here then wrote the jackets have some fur as well. I think the amount of fur for each jacket is very small though. So why don't they just send the coyotes to the Barber's shop? 🙂 kale, a sketch pad and a lamp with some paint on it//:musik

Great coats for warmth, i've always wanted one of the proper arctic expedition ones. Woolrich are also on a par for down/fur trimmed hood parka's.
Someone mentioned stone island above. Alas, it seems it's over for the italian streetwear giants. Recently bought by moncler, it's expected the direction of future design will be less 'terrace culture' more of an overt and colourfully extravagant nature. A bit more happy happy than punchy punchy.
The label i'm extremely interested in right now is TEN C, from the designers who were previously at CP company.

I’m sure that Canada Goose don’t simply use nuisance Coyotes that have been killed, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was use of commercial farms but I don’t know. Edit: thankfully no fur farms, but they still allow animals to be trapped and killed which isn’t nice: Pertaining to the sourcing of wild, western North American coyote fur, our suppliers certify that: They do not tolerate any willful mistreatment, neglect or malicious harm of animals. They only supply Canada Goose with wild fur from North American suppliers and that they never use fur from fur farms They only source from trappers who are regulated by state, provincial and federal standards We pride ourselves on offering consumers with different styles, viewpoints, and tastes as much choice as possible when purchasing Canada Goose products. In 2020, Canada Goose will launch a bold new initiative that will introduce reclaimed fur into our supply chain. We plan to begin making parkas using reclaimed fur and end the purchasing of new fur in 2022. Customers should begin to see reclaimed fur in some of our products as early as Fall of that same year.
