Canada Goose started life in 1957 as Metro Sportswear. They’ve stuck to their guns of manufacturing their products in Canada for many years, and their jackets are a favourite of people with lots of money all over the world. In all fairness, they are also stylish and extremely warm.
In 2013, Bain Capital, an investment firm based in Boston, purchased 70% of the company, under the condition that manufacturing would continue in Canada. In 2017, the company went public on the NYSE and TSX.
