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.

I might get one

Fantastic Idea
Will help the trade greatly.

Like the look of the coat, like the price.

* by chance is there a wind proof layer built into the coat?

I like the innovation they bring and the 100 years or so of history helps make decisions for the future. Good to see some "lemonade" when we are dealt lemons!

I'll get one for every body in my family. Does not surprise me Groenewold has thought out of the box for a long long time.

Congratulations on a much needed product.

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.

looks good, I will probably buy one

Glad to hear GFW keeps promoting fur in a different avenue. Good o. them and us!

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.

Ditto, if buying coat check country of origin !

I’m impressed! Very proactive approach. Take that the bull by the horns.

Appreciate the extra effort.

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.

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.

You could always order one blindly, then pay for shipping, and pay whatever price they want to charge for that day.

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 NOT
to 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 !!!

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.

Is there any plans to get them into retail? It's hard for me to spend $450 without being able to try it on. I hope you can do tall sizes as well. Glad to see someone bringing a everyday wear item made of fur to the market
