They’re definitely not made better nor do they look nearly identical. A lot more care goes into cut and overall fit for a CG or HH jacket that a Stormtech, and the materials and finishing are better. There’s also the fact that CG is actually made in Canada, whereas stuff like Stormtech and Eddie Bauer are made in China for significantly cheaper labour.
Not saying it’s worth the extra $1000 (my winter jacket is $250 and amazing) but kind of in line with Wormius saying people justify expensive items in all sorts of ways, I also find it funny when people justify cheap purchases in all sorts of ways.
Even a completely uneducated slob who has never worn a shirt in their lives could tell the difference between a $10 t-shirt and a $100 t-shirt, for example.
