Yes it's fake I just noticed they take credit cards but site is not even secure (https)
Yes its fake...Canada Goose doesnt embroider a Canada Flag on their jackets...but on the bright side, no coyotes were tortured for days in leg traps waiting to be killed by trappers for these coats (probably).
Yes it is a fake site . No way are Canada Goose items going for those prices . You can always call and ask them . They will appreciate you letting them know about the fake sites. I called last year and it was a good thing that I did . I would have ended up buying a fake item .
All Canada Goose jackets/coats are made right here in Canada.
"Canada Goose apparel — with jackets that retail for upwards of $1,000 — is now sold in more than 50 countries. The company employs more than 1,000 people around the globe, but its products are made inToronto and Winnipeg (when many manufacturers are moving production to locales with lower labour costs).Dec 10, 2013"
I saw a video of their workshop once and all the workers look Chinese.
Canada Goose was bought by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital, so this may not be 100% true.

Best way is to contact Canada Goose themselves and ask if OP's site is an authorized dealer.
I can almost guarantee you they're not.
List of authorized online dealers is a very small, select group.

I originally though that anything labeled Canada Goose was fake or came from China because their patch shows a map of Antartica, not Canada's Arctic. It would be pretty ignorant for a Canadian company not to know its geography, or deny that Canada's Arctic Archipelago even exists; but apparently, those company officers who approved to logo are just that: ignorant about their own country's geography.
I've seen some pretty convincing fakes coming from China, including all of the really realistic looking Canada Goose tags and labels, and always suspected that a lot of their production was in China. It costs less that $30 to manufacture a quality parka in China 'looking like' Canada Goose, and if this is the case, markups would be in the order of 2000%.... extremely profitable. The factories in Toronto and Winnipeg may be just showcase.
One source of 'fakes' in China is overproduction: A Chinese manufacturer has a contract to produce so may units, but they actually produce a proportion more and sell that surplus on the local market. There are also factories where independent workers or small time business are allowed into the factories at night by an insider, and produce the same product using the factory's machines, but with their own materials; those are the parkas that fall apart after two weeks of wearing them. Then there are units that don't meet quality assurance inspections; they go out through the back door and sold locally instead of being destroyed; very small production flaws that are virtually unnoticeable, but a terrific value.
