Not too bad here in Dallas. I generally wear the uniform for those that work in the financial industry in the south....

Watch out for heavy metal zippers! They can ruin a watch cosmetically in seconds.

I have other winter coats it's just the discussion seemed to be more about Parka's or Canada Goose. However the 3 Canada Goose Coats I have seem to serve my needs for the more casual winter coat.

I have the same kit. It's perfect if you have to be out in the really harsh weather.
For regular winter days I have lighter gear.

Going to Montreal. I’m going to buy a “KANUK” coat. Not sure which model though. Walking the streets in NYC in the winter isn’t fun.

Reviving this thread since it’s cool for Texas tonight. Right before Thanksgiving I was heading to New York for a few days and it was going to be in the 30-40 range. The Canada Goose brand fascinated me, I like the way the rate their coats by temperature range. I wanted something that would be useable at home but warm enough for my brief forays into colder climes. Ended up with the Lodge jacket without hood that’s rated for 30-50 degrees, works perfectly for that. Liked it so much a month later I picked up a Hybridge Lite vest. It’s incredibly warm for how thin it is and works well in our local 40-60 range.
There’s only two stores here that sell the brand, Nordstrom and Saint Bernard. Both of them run out on a regular basis, I was able to get the vest locally but had to order the coat from Neiman Marcus. They are both slim fit so keep that in mind.
In New York it seems like Canada Goose and TheNorthFace are the official winter uniform. You see lots of both and also sell out quickly.

Kate Upton looks good in Canadian Goose. She was harassed by protesters this week for supporting their use in clothing.

Just ordered another piece from Brooks Brothers... a Harris Tweed Herringbone.



I have WAY TO MANY outerwear pieces, but I just love them when they are well made

My North Face 550 down filled is light, comfortable and warm enough with a couple thin layers under it for -0 temps

I fell in love with waxed cotton... for me it's all about the canvas materials and lining.

Found a decent one at Abercrombie and Fitch a couple years ago too (vintage military look without branding) of all places. It was cheap as it was on sale, and oddly enough it's really good canvas type quality and really warm.

I like my Arcteryx Proton LT which is a much lighter synthetic coat that fills the rest of the duties for 0 to -20C.

If I feel like a wool type coat you could look at some of Filson's offerings, they make some nice stuff that I still like to use whenever a parka isn't required. They also work well with layering a sweater or heavier shirt too.

I steer clear of Canada Goose, it's overpriced imo and not better than anything from less expensive alternatives. My wife likes hers, but will even admit that's more because it's trendy and expensive.
I live in Calgary too and agree that Canada Goose is overkill most of the time, especially if you’re travelling by car. I’ve had a Canada Goose jacket for about 10 years and can count on two hands how many times I’ve worn it. For efficiency; most of the time, I dress in layers.

For really cold Wx - My casual coat is a Canada Goose - my dressier coat which I usually wear more often is a cashmere Zegna - Elements. Love them both. Other than those I wear a Camel hair car overcoat.

Arc’teryx Atom LT


Looks and feels like an overpriced garbage bag but it keeps me very warm in west coast 40 to 60 degree weather for how light it is.

For colder weather, I just wear wool thermals underneath and an Irish wool sweater over

I like my belstaff bomber jacket with shearling collar. Warm enough, but not too hot. Comfy and practical enough for daily wear.

I have Barbour and Belstaff waxed cotton jackets with quilted liners For warmth though, you can’t beat a real Navy pea coat. You can wear it with jeans and over a sport coat. Find an Army Navy store and look around.
