Here’s the original post-
I can appreciate the finer things in life. Ugg slippers which we talk about on the Podcast are one of life’s luxuries I’d gladly pay double for because they’re so far better than anything else I’ve ever put on my feet so I completely understand why they are priced the way they are. The Canada Goose Jacket I can only assume is the same thing. Only we just don’t have over $800 laying around for a jacket.
Now we got away this past weekend to Montreal. One of my five favorite cities but also one of the coldest. People in Montreal are very stylish, very polished, very European. It’s also cold as fuck up there. Negative digits routinely this time of year. We stayed downtown and walked everywhere and wouldn’t you know more women than not and a ton of men were rocking Canada Goose Jackets or Canada Goose Jacket look-a-likes.
So while stuck at the airport for a bit I set out to find an alternative to the Canada Goose Jacket for Kate. Surely there has to be a company out there that A) makes jackets, B) sees how much Canada Goose is charging for their jackets and C) has set out to make an equally as well performing jacket for way less money.
You can’t tell me that it costs anywhere close to $800 to produce these jackets. I get that it’s become a total status symbol type thing but there is something to the fad, the comfort and style that can be replicated for far less money.
So I checked around and one alternative is the North Face Arctic Parka II $298.95 Read the reviews here
Here’s the Canada Goose version which actually gets lower review ratings read the reviews here
(can the patch on the sleeve really be worth $500 more?)
Kate’s going to get the North Face one and we will report back. Stay tuned!
A little background:
The McKays and The McElhenny’s came over for an adult gamenight last week. We played “What Do You Meme” and while here Erin let Kate try on her Canada Goose Jacket. The same type of winter parka that our Kim Smith raves about. Of course Kate fell in love. After all these ladies have style for days. Kate said the comfort was indescribable. aaaaaand the obsession began…

The Rotary Club of Gloucester
Hosts the 8th Annual Polar Plunge to Make Polio History
The Gloucester Rotary Club will again host clubs from Rotary District 7930 (eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire) for the 8th annual Polar Plunge on Saturday, February 3, 2018 at Long Beach in Gloucester. The event is part of Rotary International’s ongoing campaign to eradicate polio in our lifetime. Several hundred people are expected to plunge into the cold waters off Cape Ann this year. Last year, over 300 people braved the icy waters, raising more than $120,000. Since the first Rotary Polar Plunge in 2011, Massachusetts Rotarians have raised over a half-million dollars with this event.
Since 1985, Polio has been the signature cause for Rotary International as it has teamed up with partners including The Global Poverty Project, The Global Eradication Initiative, The World Health Organization, and UNICEF…
