Does Canada Goose use real fur?

No, not any more. Canada Goose stopped buying fur in 2021 and ended production with fur at the end of 2022. Until then, its hoods carried genuine North American coyote fur. The jackets it makes today have a plain hood, and most still have the zipper the fur trim was attached to.

What fur did Canada Goose use?

Coyote. For decades, the animal fur on Canada Goose hoods was genuine North American coyote. Coyote guard hairs shed frost instead of holding it, and the dense underfur breaks the wind before it reaches your face. That is why serious winter parkas have worn coyote, and why the fur became the detail people knew Canada Goose by.

When did Canada Goose stop using fur?

  • 2021. Canada Goose announces it will stop buying fur.
  • 2022. The first jackets without fur arrive, with a plain hood. Most keep the hood zipper. Production with fur ends at the end of the year.
  • 2022 to 2023. Jackets with fur and jackets without fur are sold side by side for about a year and a half.
  • 2024. The last heritage models, the jackets sold with fur, are discontinued.

Does Canada Goose sell fur anymore?

No. Canada Goose no longer sells jackets with fur, or fur trims on their own.

Does Canada Goose use faux fur now?

No. Canada Goose never switched to faux fur. Its jackets now come with a plain hood, and most still have the hood zipper.

How to tell if your Canada Goose came with fur.

The year only hints, because both kinds were sold side by side. What came on the hood decides:

  • With fur. The jacket came with a fur trim zipped around the hood. These are the heritage models, made before 2022 to 2023.
  • Without fur. The jacket came with a plain fabric trim on the hood zipper. Most parkas made since 2022 are these.

If the jacket is second-hand and the trim is missing, the two questions about your jacket on every product page can still help: their "I'm not sure" answer works it out from two photos.

Can you put real fur back on a Canada Goose?

Yes, if the hood has a zipper. ArcticFur makes replacement fur trims in genuine North American coyote that zip onto the hood zipper of any Canada Goose jacket, sold with fur or without. Classic, our regular cut, is fuller and thicker than the original Canada Goose fur. Grand is bigger and fuller still, with a bolder frame around the face.

On every product page, two questions match the trim to your jacket. The trim zips on in seconds and comes off the same way, and the jacket is unchanged.

In our customers' words.

  • “I bought a fur for my Canada Goose Chilliwack. When I finally got it and opened it, I did not expect the quality. Take notes, Canada Goose! I was so impressed I also bought the Grand version.”

    KevinNetherlands · Chilliwack Bomber

  • “I ordered the Classic Gold-Brown for my green MacMillan no fur parka and was stunned by the quality. The green fabric matches my jacket perfectly, and the hood is working for the first time, as the original trim had no wire inside to shape the hood around your head.”

    OliverGermany · MacMillan Parka

  • “Well worth the wait, twice the size of my other Canada Goose fur.”
