I’ve been steadily wearing this vest from Canada Goose and Concepts for the last few weeks. It has definitely become one of my “favorite” outerwear pieces. The utilitarian aspect of the vest is awesome. A ton of well-placed pockets ensures you can ditch a small bag or waist bag and put it all in the vest without people knowing your carrying a camera, notepad and wallet etc. Canada Goose is among the few Canadian fashion brands that have been able to create a name for themselves on a global scale but who knows cold weather like Canadians? The Arctic Circle is in our backyard. Besides nothing better than a good ol’ boy from Fort Saskatchewan wearing an “Alberta” vest.

Congratulations to Frank the Butcher & the Concepts crew for another finely crafted collaboration. Within each piece that Concepts put together, the theme is concise and it fits in-line with everything they do. In reality, you could take everything they’ve done over the years and I think it would all be styled quite nicely. Thanks a lot to Frank, I’m sure I’ll get a lot of wear out of this for years to come.
