[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What possible reason is to buy HH or Canada Goose in this climate?  I know there was a lot of snow last couple of years, but apart from few days when it was pretty cold, there is no reason to spend over 600 dollars to even 1K on a winter jacket for a teen. This must be just really wealthy parents posting. How is Columbia and North Face not good enough any more?[/quote]

I don't know what HH is. But if you don't think that they're are wealthy parents in DC and/or post to DCUM, you must be new to DC.

For later teens, especially girls, they don't usually hit growth spurts as much.  People can buy whatever coat they want.  Why should you care?  [/quote]

I am not unaware of very wealthy people in DC area. Helly Hansen, HH coats, are usually meant for [b]ski patrols[/b], mountain climbing and [b]extremely cold weather[/b], that is why they are so expensive. I lived in Canada, and there Canada Goose is an investment, often very needed.  I don't object to wealthy parents buying whatever they want for their children, but the "[i]instant popularity[/i]" reason for buying jackets that are meant for completely different use, took me off guard. I hope some parents aren't ruining themselves just to keep up with parents who don't have to think at all about spending thousand dollars on a jacket, especially when this sort of a jacket is out of place in this climate.[/quote]
