I don't think there is such a thing, unless you're talking about a fashion enthusiast. In that realm, Canada Goose is not highly thought of.... you're looking at Jil Sander or JuunJ or Nigel Cabourn or Rick Owens. It's a totally different ball game if you're into that stuff - CG is not wearable art in any sense. Talking to people who live in that world about Canada Goose would be like trying to convince a bunch of film snobs that Marvel movies are great cinema.
The reality is that for something like a technical coat for cold weather, you are either looking at a general purpose coat or you're an enthusiast of a particular sport (say, mountaineering), in which case you are looking at the objective characteristics of the item (weight, breathability, mobility, storage design, whether the materials can stand up to the duress of the sport) because the clothing itself isn't what makes you an enthusiast of the thing you're an enthusiast about, it's merely an aid. When it comes to cars, the car is the
very thing you're enjoying. That's why it's a bad comparison. Well, one reason, anyway.
I mean it sounds like you're arguing that my car is objectively not the right car if you had to buy one car to do absolutely everything. That's true. But if you are going to buy one car for the specific purpose of being a car enthusiast's weekend driving machine, you'd have a hard time finding a better option for the price. For the CG jacket, there is no "specific thing" for it to do, no specific area where you would want it to perform, where you'd have a hard time finding a better option for the price - or at all, for that matter.

I don't think so. I think they make a bomber, a bunch of parkas and a few puffys.
