True enough, just surprised with the amount of clients you have that you would even remember. See you at the next check up!

i haven't bought anything yet, but these jackets look fucking sweet:

http://www.scapegoatbrand.com/

dam those are sweet jackets
good find on the website

where's the order button or checkout or... how the hell do you buy these?

Those jackets look plain jane...and they're FUCKING EXPENSIVE! Rip off, if you ask me.

i like jackets with mandarin collars. and not very flashy. they are a bit expensive though..

any other jackets that are that style?

WAYY too plain..

just bought this off a RS user.

At the scapegoat price point, I'd recommend http://www.arcteryx.com/ instead. Local company too.

if anyone wants one of those, i know the rep, pm me.



and the whole idea behind it is to offer something for people who want to stand apart from the goofs who walk around wearing their technical arcteryx jackets everywhere. notice the tagline: technically correct always appropriate

used to be local. they were bought by adidas a while back.

Which company are you referring to when you say you know the rep?

prana, which owns scapegoat.

Anyone know where I can get nice peacoats in BC, or in Hong Kong.

I want one similar to the one he's wearing, fast forwarded to 2:09 ;)

I have a jacket from spiewak and it's ALMOST similiar to the scapegoat stuff.
http://www.spiewak.com/

It's more fashion than "technical outdoor gear" but it's pretty decent stuff. Love my jacket to death.

Some nice leather jackets...as for the price, well if you have to ask...

that shit aint gonna keep you warm

what store did u get it from ???

I bought it for CHEAP on karmaloop...but they don't carry it any more. I don't know who else does (online or local).

Edit: For the picture of the jacket I have go to:

Collection -> View Fall 2007 Collection -> Cascade Shell Jacket.

Pretty nice, fits well, good quality.

I bought a spiewak parka back in 2006 at boysco, a real nice jacket. Great fit and keeps you warm. Also the fur trimmed hood was real cyote, so it was definetly worth the $450, compared to other parkas nowadays that use fake fur and price it for well over $400 (energie)

I was also offering an alternative. They do carry some less technical styles.

I believe they are now owned by Amer Sports. HQ still remains in North Vancouver.

since when is arcteryx an alternative? a less mainstream brand with nice lines and limited distribution is an alternative. and by the way amer is the conglomerate that owns adidas, suunto, salomon, artceryx, atomic etc. north face is owned by vanity fair (the magazine).

Going a bit OT here but...
I should have been more clear, I meant an alternative to what was already posted in this thread. Amer does not own Adidas http://www.amersports.com/brands/ame...ts_brands.html

let's put this to bed. i have a ton of friends in the outdoor industry. i know all the reps for all the major brands, and they all know who owns who.

adidas-salomon is a single company. adidas works as an independent and owns a few other brands under its own umbrella (taylormade, reebok). adidas-salomon bought arcteryx and amer manages its own brands plus the salomon side, including arc. adidas runs itself independently and manages the other brands under the AG.

just because it isn't in black and white and right there for the world to see doesn't mean it doesn't exist. that was my point with the north face bit... just because a magazine company owns it and there's no link to tnf.com on their website doesn't mean it isn't so.


anyways, let's get this back on topic, its a good thread with good po. if you want to argue more, pm me.

I like arcteryx but their prices kill me... I like their waterproof and insulated jackets, but anything over $300 is just too much. I got my North Face bomber jacket for less than $200 on ebay but it's not waterproof at all and it dies in the rain. We all know how much it rains here during the fall/winter days. Spiewak is nice but I don't know where to get them other than Plenty (I forgot if they sell them or not) and Karmaloop which doesn't sell it anymore.
