How dumb am I? I bought a jacket with coyote fur on the collar.

Canada Goose go for $300 on the low end, to $500 and $700 and up on the high end.
If you had teenage kids you would probably know this.
Apparently they are all the rage in Paris now even.
Kind of silly wearing Arctic jackets made for -40 celcius temperatures in -5 celcius Toronto let alone the mild weather of Paris.
But in the end they are good quality. Goose and a pair of Sorel boots and your all good and toasty.
I'm no fan of blood diamonds, but fucking service providers is a mutual exchange.
Besides, I never said anyone who wears a Goose is a bad person. If I had money to blow I might even get one. My $60 Dickies coat keeps me warm enough though.
Just sayin' Kareena makes a valid point.
Buying a fake fur jacket at Salvation Army for $10 is a mutual exchange. Fucking SPs is a luxury. So are wearing fur and diamonds. Since times immemorial.
'But the company's at fault, 'cause I don't like coyote fur. For some reason i will not state'. Although I nonetheless bought something that looked and felt exactly like coyote fur.
You nailed it in your title; no need to prove it in the posts. As you said, good thing the collar zips off, so you can throw away the bit of the garment that you don't like. If only all clothes worked that way. It reads liek you've already informed the company about your anti-coyote fur feelings, but the vote they'll really notice is the one with your credit card number attached. Did you at least ask for a faux replacement collar? That might be a minor moneymaker, and in any case it would be something they could do. They aren't likely to redesign what you and thousands have already bought because of a few complaints they believe the evidence shows to be unfounded.
I heard of a lady who bought a Canada Goose Parka from a co-worker who was selling them for under $300. She developed a serious skin rash and hair lose at the hairline which was in contact with what has been analyzed to be improperly treated dog fur on the collar attached with a toxic glue. She is bring treated with steroid and may require plastic surgery, the parka turned out to be fake.
Lots of knockoffs out there. Sometimes they simply lap a label on the product and sell it as genuine. That's why it is always better to buy from a reputable retailer.
I wanted to buy one last year so I had a look on the Internet to see who was selling them . Saw some great deals so I checked with the company that makes the jackets and they said that all of those jackets were fakes . Good thing I checked .
around the kitchener area, coyotes are considered a big pest. they are not around because of loss of habitat, they thrive in this area because of the large amount of deer, because people love to feed the deer. we had to shoot the coyotes about every other year, they would start approaching kids, killing our cats, fighting our dogs, and stalking our horses. they are going to be killed anyways so they might as well use the fur for something. minks,fox, and wolf are a different story.
You're slamming Richaceg when I'm at the OP. I bought the coat on implulse as I was freezing cold in Timmins. I didn't do investigative journalism to research which coat to buy. In fact I require a larger coat and not much was still on the racks as it's close to end of season. I didn't look at the fur trim closely. I assumed it was fake as I see these coats all over Toronto and never thought fur would be commonly worn. I just did not realize I was buying fur. I admit to not wanting to wear fur. Until I looked on line I would not have been able to guess it was coyote fur or real as I'm the city slicker type.
$700 for a jacket was an investment I was prepared to make. I ended up in Timmins longer than originally anticipated so ended up making some purchases on the fly. Much cheaper than flying back home to fully stock up. Tough crowd here when you get shit on for not packing properly.

I don't think there is a $700 coat with fake fur in existence ( and I hope there is not). Although BMW and Mercs switched to fake leather in cheaper models a few years ago, which was a clear sign that the world as we know it is coming to an end...
