How to check if Canada Goose is real

Best Advice: Check if your Canada Goose is real through the badge.

Fake jackets have extra threads and potentially letters out of place.


1. Badge

1.1. Best replica

Fake vs Real Canada Goose: Badges
  • Authentisch: Thinner symbols.
  • Fälschung: Thicker, bigger inscriptions and leaves.

1.1. Mid replica

Fake vs Real Canada Goose: Badges
  • Authentisch:
    • Text has the correct, thinner lettering and more subtly crafted maple leaves.
  • Fälschung:
    • Text appears too thick and boxy, with the maple leaves also being distinctly thicker in design.

1.3 Low replica

Fake vs Real Canada Goose: Logos
  • Authentisch:
    • Features larger leaves and appropriate spacing between them and the text. The “®” character is proportionally correct.
  • Fälschung:
    • Displays smaller leaves with excessive spacing from the text and a noticeably smaller and skinnier “®” character.

1.4. Older example

Authentic Canada Goose Logo
  • Here is another original Canada Goose badge.
  • This is an ältere authentic model.

Older (but authentic) versions may have thicker letters than newer jackets.

Canada Goose uses only authentic coyote fur for their products. However, the brand stopped using fur in 2021.

2.1. Quality

Fake vs Real Canada Goose: Fur
  • Authentisch: Very fluffy, high-density fur.
  • Fälschung: Thinner, less dense and rich fur.

2.2. Style
