They are great jackets, I wanted one, but after seeing the amount of people with them I just went with Hugo Boss. Fuck that shit (they are warm though) but it's just another expensive trend.

I have the super popular bomber jacket unfortunately.
I bought it 5 winters ago though. I had never seen one, a cousin who ice fishes recommended it, had to go to a Hunting/Fishing Store to find one. It was only $300 back then... Which was at the upper limits of what I would spend on a winter jacket.. But since I hate the cold I grabbed it.
Fast forward a couple of years and the brand EXPLODED,Can't believe so many pay 5-600 for one. Right now they are really overplayed..... It's not good when you see groups wearing the same coats..
At least my colour brown doesn't seem to be as common for this year.. but I avoid wearing it to the mall, it's far to warm for that anyways.
As for quality. It's not bad. Feathers stay inside the jacket. Ive had two or three come out in years. The cuffs fell apart because they stick to the velcro pocket flap, and they repaired it this past summer free.
Though the fabric is developing small holes just above the cuff, where it rubs on things and on your side while walking.. They didn't repair that...
The company isnt going anywhere as they have been supplying workers in the true north with this survival gear for decades now. But I'll be glad when styles change and people will be embarrassed to wear them and demote them to snow shoveling duty.
If you're a rugged outdoors man you'd say its overkill for Toronto. But otherwise its fine, other than the fact that every trend following asshole has one.

This. They started getting very popular about two years ago... I've wanted one for a while, but now I refuse to buy one lol

Sure they are played out, but so are chucks, vans, uggs and tna jackets (for girls) I dont see as much hate towards those other things though, not as much as CG.
I think because CG surpassed the amount you would see then those brands. This one i can say everyone and there grandmothers have this jacket

I can't justify paying $600 for ONE jacket.
I'd rather get 1 leather winter jacket, 1 skiing jacket, and another jacket for that same price.
Haha @ Kanada Goose.

But everyone and their grandma wears chucks and vans these days. i guess its not as hated because it isnt as expensive as a CG...
Chilliwhacks are gay...and are especially gay when a guy is wearing one!
The one I got from my folks is a Chiliwack FTL. At least its not black like the rest of the AZN population like so:

I got one this year because I walk 20 minutes each way to and from work, stand at the Go train platform for the train to come and sit in the car at the Go train parking lot going home. Sometimes I do the walk 2x because I go out for lunch. (my way to justify getting a poser jacket. lol)
I don't have the Chilliwanker and managed to swing 15% off because I used to work at a store that sells AUTHENTIC jackets so its NOT as bad.
CN: I am outside and in the cold and I need a warm jacket.

No doubt its warm. I hate wearing any thick ass jacket when its freezing out and having to go indoors when they crank the heater like a sauna. I end up sweating like a pig and looking like michelin man with a big old jacket. Its a good jacket if you walk outside alot and take the GO. I drive everywhere so I have totally no need for it.
