So when Canada Goose was driving the coyote market, Iowa coyotes were averaging $35-$40 for $1200-$1500 parkas. At $450 a parka, this means our current $10 coyote...will remain a $10.00 coyote; but I encourage everyone to get out and catch some. Not necessarily. It's possible that Canada Goose's markup was a lot higher. Also, Groenwold making the coats cuts out the middleman, which would allow them to be produced cheaper. Hopefully the more reasonable price encourages more buyers which would require more coyotes which would lead to higher prices. For YEARS I've been listening to people lament the fact that no one is leading the charge to make fur more mainstream in America again and now that someone actually is.... out come the haters.

Like the look of the coat, like the price. Osky * by chance is there a wind proof layer built into the coat?

LOL. No middleman yotetrapper30? So Guy and Gary bought some sewing machines and are making them in house with American labor for $450? No. They're trying to figure out a way to market 1000's of dressed coyotes that nobody wants. GFW are business men first. If there's a fat hog to be cut, they're sharpening their knives as I type this.

Any use of wild fur is great. I don’t care what country the coats are made in.
Those of you that are hating on this must not be fur trappers......
.....please go back to trapping the mice in your barn.

Agreed. GW is making the best of a trying situation which by extension may help the market, general perceptions, and core suppliers ie trappers. Haven’t seen anyone else come up with any significant effort nor have I heard of GW hating on trappers. Then again I may lead a sheltered life. Osky

Love what they did. Having said that, I’ll buy one when they come to my house and put it in my window. I’ll give them a price and pay them what I want to. 12.344 seconds, no discussion. ![cool cool](/forum/images/graemlins/default/cool.gif)

GFW are not at the NTA convention this weekend in Sioux Falls where they should be. They need to be talking to trappers who bust their behind to produce the fur they need to keep their lights on. GFW is sitting this one out. I'd wager to bet that Groeny is not the only wild fur related business that did not show up at the NTA convention this go-around along with a large number of free trappers who have elected NOTto support any fund raising efforts mounted by this outfit. You can bet with both the free trappers & GFW, it had little to do with economics, and eveything to do with ethics & principles !!! w

Here's what I find amusing. GFW are not at the NTA convention this weekend in Sioux Falls where they should be. They need to be talking to trappers who bust their behind to produce the fur they need to keep their lights on. GFW is sitting this one out. They don't want to spend money on gas, lodging, a booth and listen to all the complaining about the fur market. They're sitting at home, free of expenses, posting about their new parka...free of charge, and everyone is buying in to the fact that they are rock stars and doing great things for the industry.
When you buy your parka, make sure you check the tag for country of origin. You’re full of stupid, aren’t you? Its not their job to put the market on their back. If you don’t like it, don’t buy one. You’re going out of your way to be an (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), for absolutely no reason.
