Chateau Slim Fit Down Parka

I tried three CG jackets and finally found one without the flats of the others. One the arms not too tight and slim fit. Second, the bottom edge is nicely stitched around the outside in vs the MacMillan it is hidden inside and would come outwards when I sit. Next, it has tons of inner and other pockets. Next it has that cool back yellow logo hanging strap i wanted that lost do not have. Last it had a nice hood without the fur. I'm 5"9 and 160lbs and medium fits perfect and a stylish in grey. I can wear a sweater inside vs then others like Forester and MacMillan the arms too tight for think sweater.

Purchased this jacket recently in Red Jasper. First of all, the jacket is not exactly red - it's red-orange - and it appears slightly closer to orange in color than to red. (It reminds me of a "Sakhir Orange" to be honest.) Nonetheless, the jacket looks great. You can really appreciate the quality of this jacket when you take it out of the closet and there's not a speck of dust on it. Moreover, it is quite warm at a TEI rating of 4. I can feel myself warming up after wearing this indoors and absolutely no cold while walking in 15 degree weather. (I haven't had the opportunity to try this jacket in anything cooler, but will post an update once done.) The jacket does run large, so I recommend purchasing a size down from what you normally wear. The only gripe I have with this jacket is the zipper. I'm not sure if this is ubiquitous among the Canada Goose lineup, but I always have difficulty zipping this jacket, especially when I'm in a hurry. You really have to make sure you secure the insertion pin into the zipper crevice all the way down before you start zipping, otherwise you'll quickly find yourself frustrated, wondering why the jacket won't zip. All in all, I love this jacket and I'm enthusiastic to see how this investment fare in colder winters.

I bought this for my husband and because it's a slim fit, it definitely runs small. Even though the measurements listed would categorize him as a "large", we had to return the large for an XL to fit comfortably with any kind of layering. He hasn't had a chance to wear it much yet but he's very excited about it. It's well-made, stylish and transitional between work and play. So far, a 5-star....
