How long before the 1st robbery on the Canadian Goose shop in Dublin?

Valhallapt

I love Canada goose, but there are so many fakes everywhere. I think I counted 20k worth of jackets walking out of a local school. Not one of them real, but looked like high quality all the same.

Large amounts of cash in a till is still a security risk. Duh.

Duh. Quite. I'm expressing my disbelief that BT classify 1k as a dangerous amount of cash to hold in a till. I worked a retail job in a different Grafton Street store and it was not the case there. Duh.

I know a guy who works in Menswear in BT. He says exactly the same, nothing but drug dealers. And it's a pain in the arse for staff because they all pay cash and they have to send the till float to the cash office every time it goes over 1k.

Menswear is on the bottom floor and the cash office is on the top floor, so as soon as 1 till goes over 1k cash you have to travel up with security to the top floor, and when you get back down to the basement level another till will be over 1k cash. Its pretty much a permanent job, especially around Christmas.

don't believe that

every one of these stores has those vacuum tube systems for delivering cash

find it hard to believe that cash gets physically walked upstairs

I remember seeing this story before Christmas that BT and Arnotts staff had undergone Anti Money Laundering training...

I bet you think you're an upstanding person. I thought Ireland had moved on from judgemental "People" like you.

You disrespect salomans

i love the haircuts the shaved heads with a nest on top, the filthy tatooed sleeve the white socks the grey sweat pants or black leggings / skinny jeans and of course the puffa jacket. Their birds are another thing mega handbags 10" of trowl make up and bubble lips to match the bubble sneakers the dark ronseal tan and the double platfoms as they mostly short legged fat arsed little mongrels!!.

There’s lots of fake versions of Canada goose being sold the last few years

There was a place on Moore st selling knock off versions of Canada goose and north face - it was near the French bakery place.

young guy I worked with in a spar had one that on first glance looked the real thing but the logo said “Cananda goose” - he didn’t like ppl noticing that.

You can get good copies on dhgate for 100euro. Not as high quality as the real jackets from Canada but good as you'd buy in any legit store here in Ireland with other brands.

So....... You're telling me this store does not sell Canadian Geese to guard my house?

Geez even a Beanie Hat is 250 euros with them. And you know it's made in China along side the Dunnes Beanie hat, it's just one has their logo, and one has the Dunnes Logo.
What a world .

Don't know about Canada goose reps but some of the reps of other high end outdoor brands like arcteryx are of such good quality that even the companies have trouble initially in differentiating between a rep and an original. I imagine that both are coming out of the same factory in Vietnam.

I bet Brown Thomas & Harrods are sorry they invested in Canada Goose all the scummers in the shop roaring at each other. They will destroy the brand like they did to Burberry. I wouldnt be seen dead in one even if they do cost a grand,

Probably not. The skanger demographic is one of BT’s main customer base now. At least for menswear. Who else has that kinda money to throw away on clothes? Other than the mega rich D4s of course

Also, if you spend more than €1500 in cash on one visit (may even include card too), you have to fill out a form. I would imagine that could be fun in menswear when Skanger McGee comes in to drop a couple of grand on Canada Goose and Balenciaga runners.

I was in Brown Thomas recently and its a mad spot - 90% of the menswear section is young fellas (like 15-16) browsing and buying godawful €200 tshirts or €500 shoes. And of course, plenty of canada goose or those horrible stone island jackets. They cant all be drug dealers??

Not surprised to see a full canada goose shop, good jackets but now completely tainted. See also, burberry.

I am 47 (and male) and in my time have made a few sartorial purchases that in hindsight I couldn't really justify, but I have never in my life spent anything like €200 for a t-shirt or €500 for a pair of shoes.

Or €1,500 for a coat, do they really cost that much??

I actually thought it was some kind a Canadian fast food joint to be honest, or maybe a restaurant thatsoldthe Canadian national dish. Do the Canadians actually have a national dish?

I would welcome a poutine place in fairness, one that does the smoked bacon/marinated beef etc toppings.

That'd be class.

if the dealers ad any brain they would walk around dressed as an accountant, they are just making it easy for the guards.

It's amazing, the only food that is guaranteed to give me heartburn.

The more "gourmet" poutine is pretty swish, like Sunday dinner gravy and all.

Then there's the KFC secret menu poutine which is, unique.

No, they certainly do not. https://www.brownthomas.com/brands/canada-goose/

They’re not made in Vietnam either like the other posts alluded to. They’re made in... you guessed it... Canada.

would there be many lads wearing the dealer uniform who arent into dealing and crime?
I see this ejit clearly from Dublin but hours from it, in a small town, every day I see him walking around trying to look a hard man. He stands out like a sore thumb because the local culchie lads are going for the gaa shorts in winter look.

Sweet mother of feck they're expensive. Wouldnt you be scalded if you got them caught in some briars while out on a walk or if you spilled paint on it

hynesie08

In fairness they keep you warm, but for €1400 so would 2 months rent and heat though.....

So they start at €400 approx. Some of the more expensive ones are a grand or so. Still more than I've ever paid for any coat but each to their own.

They're made for Winter in Canada. Its probably worth the purchase there. I've never bought one but it they're anything like North Face they will last for years.

At a stretch maybe the jackets are expensive for the filling and where they're made.

Some of them actually look cheap, esp the shiny ones.

But a fcuking beanie? Really? Like any other beanie but with a CG badge.
