The global success of the Canada Goose brand on the market could not go unnoticed by the ever-bustling counterfeit market, especially because many people dream of having an outerwear item with the characteristics of a Canada Goose jacket , but the prices of original items can be prohibitive. The most frequent reports come from customers intending to buy Canada Goose jackets online , who alert the brand's customer service asking if the site they intended to buy from is actually an official Canada Goose retailer . For this reason, the brand has set up a dedicated page on the official website, where it combats the counterfeit market with an internal search engine that allows you to check the reliability of Canada Goose stores , be it a boutique or an e-tailer. Simply paste the URL of the suspicious website into the dedicated search window, and if it seems too good to be true, the team responds: "Exactly like an original Canada Goose ."

How to recognize Canada Goose winter jackets: pay attention to the logo
The first thing to do when you suspect you have a counterfeit item is to pay attention to the logo. Counterfeiters have become increasingly skilled at reproducing outerwear, but the care of an original brand is certainly in the details. For example, the Canada Goose logo represented by the Arctic disc sewn as a patch on the left sleeve has poor embroidery quality: in counterfeit logos, it is not uncommon for the red maple leaves to touch the inside edge of the patch, which should not happen. So pay attention to the alignment between leaves and letters, to the chromatic variations in the stitching and to the shape of the leaves themselves, which is often rough and imprecise. Spelling errors are a further indicator of the authenticity of the item: “Arctic” can be written incorrectly, and even if it seems impossible, it can also happen with the word “Canada”. Also pay attention to the presence of the ® symbol, which certifies the fact that you are in the presence of a trademark registered with the UIBM (Italian Patent and Trademark Office) or the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office). You can also use social networks, where Instagram channels like @closerlookofficial have multiplied, which gives a series of tips often placing original logos side by side with counterfeit logos, explaining which are the originals and their characteristics up close. Very useful tools for identifying a
fake Canada Goose .
Canada Goose Parka, attention to details of men's and women's models
An original
Canada Goose Arctic Parka will certainly feature quality details, such as the authentic fur collars that embellish both the
original Canada Goose Men's model and the
original Canada Goose Women's model. The collar is thick, the fur is very dense to prevent any signs of frostbite on the face, designed specifically to combat the prohibitive temperatures of the Antarctic, very different from a counterfeit fur that shows signs of neglect and dirt. The high quality of the authentic fur is also revealed in a texture with intense and not too homogeneous shades. The softness of the coyote fur is very particular, definitely not replicable by synthetic alternatives or worse, by low-cost intensive farms in which the animals are kept in truly wicked conditions. Also worth considering are the possible presence of metal straps, which often complement the
Canada Goose Men's bomber or down jacket line: the quality of the brushed metal with a matte finish is very different from the many polished metal straps, in addition to the fact that the brand name is made with an imprecise stamp instead of a thin, clean engraving.
Hologram label, further guarantee of an original Canada Goose
If all these details are not enough, a foolproof method to recognize an authentic Canada Goose garment is the presence of the hologram label, introduced in the fall of 2017. Recognizing it is very simple, as it is produced exclusively for Canada Goose and depicts the animal symbol of the fight against climate change embraced by the brand: a polar bear surrounded by additional elements that can be recognized from various angles. In addition to these details, the brand undertakes to directly authenticate each garment purchased within 30 days of the date of purchase, obviously if the garment comes from a certified and authorized dealer. The customer can submit the authentication request directly, also attaching a valid proof of purchase so that the data can be sent to Canada Goose offices in Canada or to European branches.
Canada Goose Down Jacket, Why Fake Is Dangerous
Canada Goose has a careful and detailed company policy against counterfeiting, and a team of experts has analyzed the counterfeit and passed off as original outerwear, reaching very interesting conclusions. In the case of the padding of a fake jacket, it turned out that instead of the sterilized Canadian down chosen by Canada Goose, waste feathers are used, or other even more dangerous padding. A counterfeit outerwear is cheaper because many production chain controls are skipped, in addition to using toxic and harmful waste materials. The microbiological analysis showed padding with the presence of microorganisms and bacteria, not adequately sanitized, in other cases mold and fungi often cause serious allergic reactions and neurotoxic crises characterized by nausea, headache and general inflammation.
Canada Goose Original: the guarantee offered by the brand
In addition to the health risks, you may find that you have purchased an item other than the
Original Canada Goose and, in this case, not be reimbursed for the purchase, since the sales channel was not only not authorized to trade the brand, but often does not even have the requirements and permits to carry out the sales activity. The risk of economic damage is added to the security of the transaction: your personal data and payment details may have been recorded by phishing systems and customers may find themselves victims of real scams, especially in the online world. This is because the preferred channel for counterfeiters has become the web, where it is very easy to create a pirate website and advertise very poor quality products without adequate controls. Despite this, you should not trust even anonymous stalls that are not able to adequately certify the goods sold: customs seizures of goods by countries where child labor is permitted are always very significant and you should be careful not to finance this circuit. Another important initiative is to avoid letting the fraud you have been a victim of by purchasing a
fake Canada Goose jacket go to waste: if you realize you have purchased a counterfeit product, you can report it through the channels of the RCPM anti-fraud center highlighted on the official Canada Goose website.
