Canada Goose jackets have become such a hot commodity in Washington, D.C., that authorities have issued a warning after people wearing the expensive coats were targeted by robbers.
The city’s Metropolitan Police Department said five incidents were reported between Jan. 24 and Feb. 5, some involving firearms and resulting in injuries to the victims, who were all wearing the Canadian-made luxury parkas, which range in price from a few hundred U.S. dollars to nearly US$1,500.
A friend refers to these garments as the “Public Housing Colours.”
