Boston Area Canada Goose Worshipers...

If you are in the Boston area check out the Tannery on Boylston Street, Boston, and Harvard Square Cambridge. They are having a 50% off sale. I just bought an Expedition Parka that they retail for $795 and I got it for $397!! That's unheard of. Online retailers sell it for about $650 so you are essentially beating every deal you can find on this coat that never ever goes on sale.

That's a brilliant deal although I did beat that on mine when the store I bought my red one from was closing down £800-320 kept it for two years & due to the lack of a decent winter I ended up selling it for £400. It was the most insanely warm piece I've ever had, warmer than the piece I currently have that I bought in replacement the Nigel Cabourn Everest Parka.

I've wanted one for years, to be honest I was just there to size the one that I was going to buy online for $650. When I saw the 50% off sign I thought it was a mistake. So I figured out my size and started to leave when the sales guy asked my why I was leaving such a good deal behind. He said "you'll never see this price again" so I went back, did a double take and bought it.

I hope others are able to take advantage of this!!!

Excellent deal! I bought my original Expedition parka for not much more from Bloomingdales in NYC back in 2009.

It is crazy warm. Maybe too much for most circumstances but I find that if I just unzip or put the hood down I'm comfortable enough. It is bulky though and I cannot drive with it on.

Beware.
I once hung mine over a chair only to come back 5 minutes later to find the cat trying to chew the fur ruff.

Just sent you a PM Manny, I'm sure they would take an order over the phone.

No they've got other winter stuff on sale but their normal retail prices are high so I don't know what's a true bargain and what isn't.

How are they sized? If I wear a 40S-42S jacket is that a medium?

Thanks. Good info.
Before they moved to their larger store their prices were quite good.
They newer, larger store is definitely a top dollar type of place.

Based on what you paid, five jackets at $550 is roughly $962 profit. Plus you make a few dollars on the shipping, minus the eBay fees. I'd say you'd clear around $925

Canadian geese, once threatened, have now become a problem species in MN. Just too many of them! We have a hunting season now.

Everyone buy a jacket! We will supply the feathers!
