I see all age groups walking around with Canada Goose, not just 'young folks' and despite being owned by an American company, they are still made in Canada which means this American owned company is providing jobs in Canada. The coats are also not 1000$. They range on average in price from 570$ for ones that have no fur to about 800$. I'm glad you love your Sears coat and that it's warm. To each his own. I like my Canada Goose, it's warm and I think it's worth the money. Yes, tons of people bought the Sears coat but the same can be said for CG coats.
