Add Moncler into the list

Keep up people, Canada Goose was last year -this year its Moncler for the real deal(er). Lads about 9 stone going around wearing a stuffed red bin bag. It's a sight to behold..

If you feel the need to spend €1000 on a jacket to look like the man you need your f*cking head examined

I really don't know where people get the idea that you have to look rich to be rich or be perceived as rich.

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 used to work in the BT cash office and we didn't have vacuum tubes in operation. Cash was walked up to the cash office. At the end of the evening, there was literally a queue of staff with bags of cash from their tills depositing them to the cash office hatch. I left about 6 years ago so might have changed since.

What vile looking things those jackets are, you’d have to pay me 500 quid to wear scobie threads like that

Might as well buy the patches/logo's from China and stitch them on as needed for the youth of today.

I like the two contrasting demographics that wear Canada Goose in Ireland:

1. Wanna Scumbags and drug dealers

2. Rich chinese students studying STEM

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

I'd get one's buying them to keep them warm.
However the guys I see wearing them generally wear them with shorts and whites socks pulled up high and sliders.
Or if they do wear trackies with them. They leave their pasty ankles hanging out.

I think snobbery over what people wear is the same for any wealth class. That is to say, I think denigrating someone for wearing 'expensive' clothes is as sad as calling someone out for wearing 'cheap' clothes. Its just snobbery.

Nah mate im a millionaire. Everyone here sounds pathetic to me. Complaining about things they cant afford is truly a plebeian phenomenon. Dont own any CG jackets either. Dont care about it.

Last year I called in to Canada Goose on Regent Street for the laugh. Well made jackets to be fair. Felt sorry for the guy working retail selling stupid stuff to fools. He said I looked great in the coat. Didn't have the heart to say I would never buy one in a million years.

I use cash only because I'm not an idiot. I actually can't take anybody who uses card over cash seriously as a human adult. It's like they're lacking something upstairs.

In saying that I'm caught short the odd time because there just isnt the amount of cash machines around as there used to be.

Defo penny's, or how about a charity shop?

Aren’t Canadian Goose
Moncler, and stone island some of the most counter-feited brands out there at the minute?

In fairness with Stone Island you can buy a Penney’s jumper and put the badge on. Similar if not better quality.

I’m quite certain it’s nowhere near the same quality as Stone Island.

Re all the drug dealer talk, young people living at home today have more disposable income than ever before even if they're working in McDonalds. When I was 18 I think the minimum wage was something like 6 quid. The cost of a pint, a fast food meal, et al hasn't went up dramatically in the years since, but the minimum wage has went up by what, 40 percent?

Add in to that that back then most young lads went to pubs, nightclubs, 3 even 4 times a week.

Pre Covid I dont think midweek socialising exists to the same extent it did years ago, I've been out in town in recent years on a midweek night after an Ireland match and you would struggle to see a crowded venue.

I know at least 4 young lads who barely go to pubs and clubs, they far prefer getting stoned all weekend with mates. When I was young this was unheard of, anyone not into the nightlife scene was likely either a rocker, a fitness nut or a nerd.

If you are taking home 350 per week and paying little to no rent to the parents a 500 quid jacket isnt as shocking as it was in your own youth.

I love to buy used clothes, top brands at a fraction of the cost and barely worn. Lots of online sites like that.

Poutine is a dish of french fries and cheese curds topped with a brown gravy..

Bull. I bought a Stone Island sweatshirt about 15 years ago in London and even today it's still in decent condition. It's been washed and worn loads and still looks absolutely fine with a nice pair of jeans.
Penney's stuff would barely last a few washes and believe me I know this with 3 daughters who live in their clothes.

Stone Island is usually very good quality. I have to confess I have a replica and a retail of a stone island hoodie, I cannot tell the difference, both excellent quality, both washed a bunch of times and look brand new.

Never heard of this shop - but knowing geese maybe a flock of Canada Geese could be used a security - they are aggressive, loud and rather intimidating when together in a group.


...just like this shop's purported clients lol!

Most young men wear trainers, hoodies,tracksuits etc so how do you know someone is a scumbag.i don,t understand anyone wearing trainers
without socks in the winter.
its like saying any woman who wears jeans is a lesbian.
every shop has a problem with shoplifters .
I would hope theres no crowded venues in the middle of a pandemic,
depends where you live, are you paying rent,
rents are alot higher than they were in 2000.All concert venues and clubs are closed at the moment .

I doubt many of the toerags that buy them can afford them either.

Likely spending outside their means.

North face jacket + Grey tracksuit bottoms + Nike air with no socks is without a doubt the worst period of fashion in the history of men’s clothing. Even Prince William would look like a scumbag in that clobber.

they sell outrage and buy ads. They don't spend as much on feeding our housing animals.

BBC had a documentary on Iceland. The lads collect the down off the nests and if there's any abandoned eggs they raise by hand.

Yup yup boyiz Canada Goose fuk da Garda yup yup, and so forth.

As outlined previously, these jackets are an invaluable means of picking out scrote bags from a thousand paces.

If Canada Goose have any sort of nous they will start making a range of trousers specially designed to accommodate ankle tracking devices.

I'm not being sarcastic. The poster said his colleague had a coat with "Canada goose" wrote on it & the wearer didn't like that being pointed out. I was asking what is the logo supposed to say. I've never seen one up close so I'm not sure whats wrong with "Canada goose"



Edit: oh I just noticed now sorry lol

There's no smoke without fire. And it is essentially fur trade. It's surely unethical.

Nah, Parka jacket (coat) is the way to go.

Only €30 or €40, great heat for the winter months.

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

""The jackets in the shop are normally in place with a wire lock. I recently got one for my partner and some retail well over €1,000 per jacket."

Recently, ya don't say...?
