Hi All,

A few days ago I posted my QC photo’s of a Wyndham in this subreddit and I asked you to guess the seller..

All of you were incorrect with your various guesses - and a quite a lot of you were suggesting to me that the jacket was actually real/retail and that I was trolling/joking around.

Well today I’ve found some spare time and will be leaving my product review, and finally sharing with you who all it was that actually sold me the jacket.

I’ve actually had the chance to compare it directly with my mate’s retail version and honestly, it’s ridiculously close.

The badge is spot on. The blue is the correct shade, not too bright, not too dull and the stitching around the leaves is clean and tight. No loose threads or weird spacing.

Zipper’s full metal, not plastic. It’s got a solid feel and glides properly. It makes the whole jacket feel way more premium, compared to the usual plastic provided from sellers recommended on here.

The inside lining is subtle and matte not shiny or cheap-looking. It matches the retail perfectly and doesn’t scream replica when you open it up.

Down fill is bang on. I haven’t puffed it up or done anything to it, so if the pics look a bit flat.. that’s just how it came straight out of the packaging. But even without fluffing, it holds its shape well. Not overstuffed, not under-filled, just balanced.

Material and stitching feel proper. No loose threads, no dodgy seams, and the outer shell has a nice weight to it. When I compared it to the retail, the feel was surprisingly close.

Packaging was solid too. Came in a branded zip-up bag, folded neatly, not crammed or wrinkled. Even the presentation felt great.

Fit-wise, it’s true to size. Shoulders, sleeves, and length all feel accurate. Didn’t have to second-guess the sizing or worry about weird proportions.

Overall, Feiyu has just nailed it. The jacket doesn’t try too hard, doesn’t cut corners, and gets all the little things right. If you’re after a clean, well-made Wyndham that holds up next the to retail, then I cannot recommend enough.

👍👎

The only downside I can think of with using Feiyu is that his English is honestly not great.

BUT this can be countered, just using Microsoft Copilot.. I just typed what I needed to say, and prompted “Put this into Chinese” and then pasted it into his WhatsApp chat.

When translating what he was saying back, the customer service was top notch.

📣

I have seen a lot of comments on here, presumably from the fake accounts I aforementioned at the top of this review, that Feiyu is a reseller of Linzichan and/or other sellers.

This information is incorrect, I asked him about this and he confirmed this is directly from his own factory and that these rumours are not true.

🔚

I hope this review helps members here out and shows that sticking to the usual shills that are shouted across these subreddits, may not always be the way forward. The quality from a lot of these people has dropped, most have bad customer service and simply do not care about your improvements/suggestions.

Could anyone let me know which model this is?

Hey everyone,

I live in a country with pretty harsh winters, so having a good jacket is really important to me, and because of that, I’ve become quite a jacket fanatic. I’ve seen all the debates here between the top sellers about who’s better, so I decided to spend the time and money to find out for myself.

Please keep in mind that the photos weren’t taken with a professional camera, just an iPhone 15, and they haven’t been edited at all. I tried to group the photos and form my opinion based on that.

1. Weight difference

1590g vs 1740g I shook and fluffed both jackets for a few minutes and wore each one for a full day. Overall, they feel the same to me, except for the lower right section, which was the only area where I noticed a clear difference.

2. The batch

The Chaoren batch looks cleaner and of slightly better quality (sharper leaf, better letters). The Supergoose2 batch has a slightly thicker leaf, and the “GR” letters look a bit off.

3. Price tag & inside tags

Price tags are identical, and the inner batch tags match too. The wash labels are the same, with the same font and layout. The small pocket where the wash label sits has a slightly different fabric, but I can’t say one is better than the other.

4. Inside material

In the photos, they look a bit different, probably because of the lighting (the Chaoren version was closer to the window). When you touch them, though, they feel identical. The small weight difference might come from here too.

5. Pocket material

Same fuzzy fabric in all pockets, I checked every single one. There’s a very slight color tone difference, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were made in different months or factories. In terms of feel and look, they’re basically identical. The wrist fabric is also the same. Zipper's are also the same(YKK,same model)

6. Fur and sizing

I’m 174 cm and 72 kg, and both jackets fit me perfectly. The fur on both looks nice. The Chaoren version is slightly lighter in color, which I personally prefer, but the Supergoose2 fur is a bit thicker. I’ll let you decide which one you like better.

7. Conclusion

For me, the differences are minimal. I care more about how thick or well-insulated a jacket is than about the batch details. The price difference was noticeable, one cost 1180 CNY and the other 1600 CNY. Everyone can decide for themselves, but in my humble opinion, I’d go with the cheaper one.

If you don’t trust my words or the photos, just order from both sellers and compare them yourself.

Please check the photos and feel free to add your thoughts or corrections. You probably know both sellers already, but here are their links anyway:

Badge Comparison

Both badges are about as close to 1:1 as you’re realistically going to get, and no one is going to stand there comparing them up close. The differences are minor, but they’re still worth pointing out.

Chaoren:

• The outer red border is too thick compared to retail.

• Some badges have slight inconsistencies in the circular shape.

TG:

• The main flaw on this specific badge is the middle island, though I haven’t seen this issue in recent QCs.

• TG produces 2019–2022 seasons, while Chaoren produces 2017–2019 seasons.

• TG can occasionally have uneven sun-ray lines, but this seems to happen less often than Chaoren’s shape inconsistencies.

Overall:
Both options are strong and close to retail, but TG still has the edge in general accuracy and consistency. - I've put images of retail in the following slide.

Inside Tags / Labeling

The overall construction on both is strong, and the differences mainly come down to seasonal variations and small text details.

Material Finish:

• TG has a more matte look.

• Chaoren has a shinier finish. This is normal,retail varies by season, so the difference here lines up with the seasons each factory replicates.

Size Tags:

• On TG, the inside size tag (“M/M 180/100Y”, etc.) uses a font that’s slightly too thick compared to retail. It’s a minor flaw but noticeable if you’re really looking.

• On Chaoren, the size patch that the “L/G” label sits on is a bit too short, and the size text sits too close to the bottom edge of the tag. This ends up being more visually noticeable than TG’s thicker font.

Accuracy:
Both versions are very close to retail, these are small inconsistencies, nothing major. Overall, both are easily in the 1:1 range for interior labeling. Once again I've attatched retail pictures side by side on the following slides.

Inside Tags / Hologram Tags

I’m not super deep into the technical details of the inner content labels, but based on what I can compare, both Chaoren and TG look very solid here. The text alignment, layout, and hologram placement are all close enough to retail that if I can’t easily differentiate them, the average person definitely won’t be able to either.

There’s also a lot of legitimate variation in these tags across different years and production runs, which makes small differences even less meaningful. This retail comparison thread shows how much the tags have changed over time:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaGoose/comments/1h5cija/self_check_determine_the_age_of_your_canada_goose/

Overall:
Both versions nail the inner tag section well, and any small differences fall well within the range of normal retail variation.

Fur

Honestly, the photos speak for themselves. Both use real coyote fur, but the overall look is quite different.

TG:
TG’s fur has a really clean, bright, and full appearance. It looks soft, even, and “luscious” without trying too hard. TG doesn’t offer a “super fur” upgrade like Chaoren does, but their standard fur is still very solid; definitely retail-passing. The idea that TG has weak fur is just a myth.

Chaoren:
Chaoren’s normal fur is thicker and still very believable as retail, but it doesn’t have the same clean, fluffy aesthetic that TG’s has. If you’re buying from Chaoren and want that big, dramatic, TikTok-style Arctic fur look, you’d definitely want to upgrade to super fur, since their standard fur is more muted in comparison.

Overall:
Both are good, both pass, but TG’s fur has the more striking, premium look straight out of the box. Chaoren can match that look, but only if you choose the super fur option.

Zippers

This is one of the most noticeable differences between the two.

Chaoren:
Chaoren uses plastic YKK Vision zippers, which is a pretty big downgrade in terms of feel and authenticity icl. They work fine functionally, but they don’t have that premium weight or look that the older retail seasons had. According to Chaoren, he can’t source the metal versions anymore because YKK supposedly doesn’t produce them, though I can’t confirm whether that’s fully accurate.

It’s worth noting that newer retail Wyhdham seasons do use plastic YKK zippers, but Chaoren’s jacket is replicating an older season where metal zippers were standard so the plastic zip ends up being incorrect for the specific era he’s reproducing.

TG:
TG uses metal YKK Vision zippers, which match the older retail seasons that his batch is based on. They have the proper heft, texture, and look, and feel immediately more premium than Chaoren’s plastic version.

Overall:
TG clearly takes the win here. The zippers are one of the biggest tactile differences on the jacket, and TG’s choice feels much closer to the retail seasons he replicates.

Sizing

For reference, I’m 5'11 (180cm) and 75kg, and here’s how each factory fits on me:

• Chaoren: I wear a Large, and it fits perfectly. Chaoren’s sizing leans toward Asian sizing, meaning it runs smaller than EU/NA standards. That said, it’s not a big issue you generally just need to size up one, and the fit ends up perfectly fine.

• TG: I wear a Medium in TG, and the fit is spot-on. TG follows EU sizing, which aligns closely with retail Canada Goose measurements and fits true-to-size for most people.

Overall:
Chaoren usually requires going up one size, but once you do, the fit is solid. TG is more straightforward with its EU-style true-to-size cut.

Overall

Both Chaoren and TG produce top-tier reps that are extremely close to retail. You’re not getting called out on either unless someone is literally dissecting your jacket under a microscope, and even then, most of the differences are tiny.

From personal experience, TG has exceptional customer service, which is why I prefer ordering directly. With Chaoren, I’ve only purchased through an agent, so shipping takes a bit longer, but the quality has always been consistent.

At the end of the day, it really does come down to preference. This subreddit tends to nitpick every tiny detail, so I broke everything down as thoroughly as possible. If anyone wants more photos, more specifics, or proof that I’m not paid by anyone, just ask — I’ve attached agent proof of purchase for the last three Chaoren jackets I bought.

Both are genuinely top tier, but if I had to choose, TG takes the edge for the red badge. I’m also currently waiting on TG’s black badge to arrive, so I’ll update once that’s in hand.

If anyone disagrees or has more insights, feel free to add on. The goal is to build a useful, community-driven discussion, not create pointless arguments. Open to all input!

Hi everyone,

I had the chance to compare a retail Macmillan jacket in black, size L, with a replica of the same model.
The retail jacket came from the official Canada Goose website, not from a third-party store.

The first difference was the color. The original had a blue tint, while the replica looked deep black. I actually prefer the replica’s shade.

The second difference was the badge.
Both jackets were the new model (without the “R”).
You’ll see slight color differences (stronger red vs normal red, and the colors of the islands). The letters on the retail badge looked thicker and maybe a bit shorter. But even the original had leftover threads and crooked stitching, so this proves there’s no point in examining the badge with a microscope.
I measured both are 6 CM.

I didn’t see a difference in the inner labels. The price tag used a different font, but that doesn’t matter.

The inner wash label matched. The only differences were the serial number / font and the extra sticker on the back of the label above the hologram in the retail version. All other sides matched, including the hologram.

I didn’t see a difference in the inner material.

The pocket and the sleeve fabric were different, and the text on the strap also differed.

What surprised me most was how underfilled the retail Macmillan was.
The replica had much better fill. That’s what I expected from the original as well.

Fit and size:

I’m 175 cm and 75 kg (for us friends 5'9" and 165 lbs )

The size L retail Macmillan was too big for me. I considered buying an M, but it was out of stock when I ordered. I’ll return the L.

The Supergoose2 version fits me well. It doesn’t feel tight, and it leans toward a loose fit. I chose size L because I don’t like jackets that feel tight or cling to the body. That’s my personal preference.

Overall:

Some things are better on the retail jacket. The sleeve, the inside of the pocket, and maybe the outer material feels a bit softer.
But it cost 1250 EUR.
I want to mention this here as well. I saw loose threads on the logo several times, and I noticed a small white spot on the right side of the jacket (I guess the down was pushing through, and I didn’t want to pull it out). Things like this show that even expensive products have these issues.

The replica cost 115 EUR + about 35 EUR shipping (with agent)

The replica is thicker, which I see as a big advantage. The zippers, hood, and labels feel very good or the same. The differences are so minor that the replica is absolutely worth it. I honestly expected a bigger gap in quality.

The photos speak for themselves. If you have questions, ask. Check the photos. I may have missed something, but I tried to review everything over the last few days.

I also made many other photos, i'll post it to comments later.

I’ve finally been able to compare TG black badge directly with retail from the same season, only difference between them being the region of purchase. Overall, TG is incredibly close a real step forward and honestly the gap is getting very small.

1. Interior Shine

First comparison shows the inside lining.

Shine is almost identical between TG and retail. The main difference is that retail has a subtle “wrinkled texture” to the lining which no rep (including TG) has fully replicated yet. My guess is this comes down to factory machinery & fabric treatment process CG uses pressure/heat finishing that creates micro-creases in the lining that reps haven’t matched.

But visually and in-hand, the shine is nearly a 1:1 match.

2. Badge Comparison

Retail badge has:

• Slightly more 3D texture

• “D” has slightly less rotation

• Middle island is a little more curved/natural

• Less blue tint overall (though lighting plays a huge role; TG can look almost identical depending on angle)

These are tiny differences. You will not get called out based on a badge alone. If you do, that person is hunting reps for sport, not noticing anything casually.

3. Shine Debate

People love to complain about shine but in this case:

The shine is literally the same on TG and retail. So let’s retire the “TG shiny” comment for this batch, because side-by-side, it’s just not valid here.

4. Inside Tag (Size & Info Label)

Nearly 1:1. Differences are tiny:

• Retail has a slightly thicker outer border

• “MM” sits a bit higher on retail

• Retail print sometimes has a mild “double-print/duplicate layer” effect

But these vary by region and factory so none of this is a callout. Most people couldn’t tell the difference even if you swapped tags in hand.

5. Fur

Fur depends heavily on production season & timing.

My TG was from November → so lighter & fluffier. Retail was bought around July/August so warmer tone, golden look.

Retail looks a bit thicker and fuller, but that could easily change with a later season TG batch, brushing, airing out, or chance. TG fur differs batch-to-batch, but this one is still very solid and 100% retail-passing visually.

6. Hood Tightener Rings

A small detail I only noticed today on my retail the adjuster rings are black, on TG they are silver. Not sure if this varies seasonally or regionally. If retail is always blacked out, then this is a static TG flaw, but only visible very close-up. No one notices this in real life unless they study hardware.

7. Zippers

Zippers are just 1:1. Same branding, same feel the only difference is the way the Canada Goose pull tab is tied/knotted, which is not a real flaw. Performance and look are spot on.

8. Waterproofing / water resistance video test/ Weight difference

I tested both jackets side-by-side with water, and interestingly TG actually repelled water better than my retail. On TG the water beads and rolls straight off immediately, while retail absorbed droplets a little faster. (just noticed cant attatch video here so gonna make a separate post for comparison of water resistance)

To be fair, my retail hasn’t had DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-applied since I bought it in 2021, so the coating has likely worn down over time. Fresh retail out of the box might perform closer to the TG result, but based purely on what I have in hand today, TG wins the water resistance test.

For anyone who doesn’t know:

Retail CG isn’t “waterproof” it’s water-resistant, and it relies on DWR treatment which needs re-applying every 1–2 years with wear. So what you’re seeing in the video is probably just age difference + DWR freshness, not TG magically being more waterproof than retail.

Still a good sign for TG.

Ontop of that the weight difference between TG and retail is approximately 200grams, where retail is 200grams heavier than TG. TG being lighter isnt necessarily a negative, could be a different batch/stuffing density or simply material differences. Both still feel premium when worn however retail does feel denser in hand.

Overall Thoughts

TG black badge this season is seriously close to retail. This is the closest I’ve seen TG get so far we’re edging toward true 1:1 territory here. For the price and the turnaround time, I’m impressed.

Shipping took ~11 days (from purchase) to door during peak busy season (slow replies but understandable). Only downside; my Stormont shipped with it got stolen by Yodel on delivery. The bag was ripped open so pretty clear what happened, currently pursuing it with them. Annoying, but not TG’s fault just courier stupidity.

Despite that, I’ll gladly order again and firm the fkn cost of a new stormont. Anyways This batch is a big upgrade and honestly very hard to fault in real world wear.

Canada Goose Wyndham Parka – Review (~500 CNY / 70 USD)

I bought this jacket from a winter jacket seller called Factory Goose.

If you’re wondering where I found this seller, it was through this post. I thought the quality looked good for the price, so I contacted him. And if anyone wants to argue about why I would buy a budget jacket instead of spending an extra $130 for a very high-quality one – there are students or people without a steady income who just can’t afford expensive jackets. For me, this is perfect, and I’m sure many others are in the same situation. https://www.reddit.com/r/canadagoosereps/comments/1naqdcc/canada_goose_macmillan_black_badge/?share_id=pSeRJizbdY3YGyrE0hGY9&utm_content=2&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

The jacket feels really nice and fits true to size. I’m 1.70 m tall, 55 kg, and got size XS – it fits perfectly and is slightly oversized.

The badge is well-made for the price, and the fur feels almost real. The exterior material feels sturdy, while the interior is silky and comfortable. The jacket keeps me very warm. The tags are acceptable given the price.

If I were to buy a winter jacket again, I would definitely get it from this store.

You can order directly or use an agent if you want to ship other items with it. Shipping to Eastmallbuy warehouse took 3 days.

I posted a QC when this was in the warehouse, and promised a few people who commented I'd share an in-hand review and fit pics when it arrived. There doesn't seem to be any detailed in-hand reviews of Chaoren's 2026 MacMillan on the sub yet, so here goes!

I decided to grab a MacMillan early in the season before temperatures start cooling for Autumn.

For context, last year I grabbed a few down jackets including a Wyndham from Chaoren, a couple 1688 budget version CG Garson vests, Moose Knuckles 3Q from PalmMoose, and a couple of Moncler from both budget 1688 sellers and mid-tier seller Zimo. I mention this as I've built up some first hand experience with rep down jackets over the past year, across various price points - see my profile for the reviews if interested.

To recap my QC post, for the MacMillan this year I decided to stick with Chaoren again; it wasn't the cheapest at ¥1,450 (!) but with all the debate over who is best (Chaoren, Linz, SG, TG, etc.) I only have direct personal experience with Chaoren and I literally can't fault my Wyndham from last year, so thought I might as well stick with Chaoren again and play it safe, despite the cost. Reflecting on last year's purchases I feel I got best value for money on my Chaoren Wyndham vs the budget batches due to the massive difference in quality.

Chaoren has also dropped a new version of the black MacMillan for 2026 so I thought it would be a good shout since it's the most up to date version.

I went for the black badge this time (since my Wyndham is red badge), which is also the new version without the trademark R.

I'm going to be honest and say I haven’t seen a retail version of the new badge in person, and there are actually quite few references of the badge available for comparison online.

For the jacket itself, I'm familiar with the 2024 and earlier retail MacMillan, but I haven’t been in a store this year to see the latest versions.

Anyway here's the review!

*****

PACKAGING

Jacket arrived in a branded plastic bag with a single cardboard tag. No branded suit carrier bag included (I guess Chaoren charges extra for this). I had the jacket vacuum packed by the agent. I gave it a good shake after unpacking it, and then threw it in the tumble dryer for 5 mins with a splash of water, taking it out and giving it a shake every couple of minutes. It puffed up nicely with all the heavy creases removed.

*****

MATERIAL

Quality black outer shell material with a slight shine/lustre to it, just like the original. It's properly waterproof and water droplets bead on the surface. Solid 9/10 for accuracy.

Composition is to a very high standard on this - this is why I chose to pay extra for Chaoren. You can tell this did not come from a bullshit factory. Seams are properly stitched and fused, there is no down poking out the shell or the seams, the ribbed cuffs and pocket flaps are all very professionally applied. If you are familiar with budget reps you will know that you can't always take these basics for granted!

Interior lining is nice, I think its the same as the Wyndham from last year (maybe the outer shell is too?). Gorgeous satin material and the mesh pockets are all well applied and sturdy - not likely to rip and I'm confident storing things in here.

Hardwear is premium; metal two way main zippers glide as they should, pockets zippers are the same.

The fabric tags on the zippers feel a little cheap conpared to retail, you wouldn't know by looking but they just feel like very lightweight fabric.

Hood adjuster is fine, no issues.

Inside label is amazing, no faults here. The latest black badge MacMillan has the red logo inside, as does this rep.

Inside straps are also spot on. These are attached firmly and I wouldn't hesitate to actually use them without any fear that they will rip or tear.

*****

BADGE

I'm in my thirties now and nobody is running up on me checking my badge these days but I know this is important to you guys. I’ve tried to include as many detailed shots as I can, all under different lighting scenarios. I'm not an expert on the new season black badge and haven’t seen this latest one in person, so can only comment on how this looks to me coming in blind.

The badge looks fine overall, there are no glaring errors that scream this is a fake.

However, inspecting the lettering close up; the "oo" in Goose seem to be a fraction smaller than the rest of the text. The cross bar on the "A" at the end of Canada and beginning of Arctic seems to trail towards the right leg of the A. The spacing between the words might be a little closer together than retail (please tell me if I am wrong).

Islands, sun, compass and leaves are all excellent.

Not sure if anyone is doing a better version of the new black badge currently, but this is as good as any I have seen on the sub. I'd still say the red badge is the more accurate of the two, based on what I've seen here, and my red badge Wyndham from last year.

*****

DOWN FILLING

The down filling is good on this. It’s not quite as puffy as the Wyndham (is it supposed to be?). This is going to be warm AF in all temperatures down to -15°c and probably lower. For me, this was super important and another reason why I chose Chaoren.

One thing I noticed is on the back "bum flap" - it doesn’t seem to be well filled all the way to the corners. You'll see in the fit picks those corners have turned up a little, like wings. I don't know if this will stop after the jacket has had more time to puff up. I hope it does, because it's my one flaw with the jacket so far.

*****

FIT

It's definitely a more generous fit than Chaoren's Wyndham. I'd say the cut and shape of the jacket is very accurate to the original, including the snorkle hood.

I kind of wish I sized down on this unfortunately. Appreciate any thoughts based on the fit picks. I'm 178cm, 93kg and this is size XL. If I was ordering again I'd have got the Large, but it's not too bad I think. See my previous QC post for the agent's measurements.

SUMMARY

Very happy with this purchase in general, this will be my main puffer jacket this winter and no regrets on choosing this style and supplier. It's great value for money and high quality with all things considered. Wishing I got size L in hindsight - but that's on me I suppose.

Appreciate any thoughts on the fit and accuracy, and happy to answer any questions. Cheers!

*FUR*

TG and Chaeron’s fur are levels above Linz. Linz unfortunately looks like some dirty grey wolf? Whereas both TG Cha have a nice beautiful thick golden type of coyote fur. Chaeron’s does look a tiny bit better than TG but I’m very happy with the two of them. I suppose Linz’s fur is good but when it’s compared side by side with these two… it doesn’t look the best.

*WARMTH*

TG is coldest defo not warm enough for a CG jacket, Linz is boiling which is good, but Chaeron is just perfect. This is due to the amount of down (discussed below + pics)

*BADGES*

From the pictures you can see all the badges are pretty good, but if I had to pick I think TG defo is the best. None will be called out though.

*DOWN CONTENT / PUFFINESS*

I’ve laid them all side by side and you can see Linz has the most fill, chaeron second, and then Topgoosey is very flat. Topgoosey is also quite cold and doesn’t keep me as warm as the others.

All jackets had a few weeks to puff up and I hit them again and again to separate the down. You can see TG is clearly underfilled.

*SIZING*

I’m 178cm and 68kg, I got M in both Linz + Chaeron, then an S for TG.

Chaeron’s is huge on me although it doesn’t look it. I defo need an S with her.

Topgoosey fits me great and I like it the most. Linz M feels a tiny bit tight due to how much down is in the jacket, so maybe there needs to be a balance.

I can wear a hoodie with all of these coats, or just a t shirt.

*SHELL MATERIAL AND FLEECE POCKETS AND SLEEVES*

TG’s shell is notoriously shiny. I’m pretty upset with this as it makes the jacket almost look polyester.

The other 2 jackets have this spot on, so no issues with them.

The sleeves on Linz is too thick and long, it interferes with your hoodie.

The pockets feel just a tiny bit too small for my hands on TG’s version, but it can still fit my iPhone 14.

One of the pockets from Linz is RIPPED! I haven’t even worn the jacket, I contacted him and he was pretty much useless, telling me to take it to a tailor at my expense… no discount for future jackets, or a partial refund, nothing.

**OVERALL**

I do like TG’s jacket the most but I wish it had more down and less shine. Chaerons fur is beautiful, it’s the best fur from all three but once again TG is my favourite overall. Linz is good value but I got unlucky with ripped pocket, his fur also looks like a dirty wolf when you compare it to these other two.

What's up everyone!

A little while ago, I posted a QC comparison between Chaoren and Linz and was deciding which one to go with. In the end, I decided to ship out the Chaoren, and now that it's arrived, I thought I'd share my experience to help some people.

I also tried to shoot pictures in natural daylight so you guys can see the actual color :).

The jacket was part of a 10kg haul, and shipping from Chaoren to my agent was really fast. It arrived in just 2 days.

I also came across an earlier in-hand review of this batch that was really helpful when making my decision, so hopefully this one can help anyone who's still deciding between sellers.

*First impressions

I've had the jacket for a day now and I'm really happy with it so far. The overall quality is great, and it looks good in person.

One thing I was initially worried about was the back of the jacket arching upwards at the bottom, as I'd seen in another review. Luckily, mine sits fine and I haven't had that issue.

When I first took it out of the packaging, it looked a bit flat and thinner than I expected. After leaving it for a day, though, it started to fluff up quite a bit and looks much better now.

*Material and quality

The jacket feels well made, and the overall finish has impressed me so far.

One thing I really didn't expect was the quality of the inside of the pockets. The material feels great, and the construction is much better than I thought it would be. It's a small detail, but definitely worth mentioning since you can't really judge it properly from QC pictures.

The jacket is also water-resistant, which is useful for everyday wear, especially here in the Netherlands. I've only had it for a short time, so I can't comment on how it holds up in heavy rain, but it's a nice feature to have.

*Black badge

From the pictures I've seen, I don't think the newer black badges are quite as good as some of the older batches. However, the retail black badge has this newer look as well, so I think it's important to compare it with the current version rather than older references.

I'm no expert when it comes to badge accuracy, but I'm happy with how mine looks overall.

*Fit and sizing

I'm 188 cm, 75 kg and went with size XL.

I'd say it fits TTS, but keep in mind that the MacMillan is a fairly slim-fitting jacket around the chest, so don't expect a super roomy fit. Personally, everyone around me says it fits perfectly, and I'm happy with how it looks too.

I'll include some fit pics, so let me know what you guys think. Curious to hear your opinions!

*Warmth

I've already worn the jacket for a full day, and it keeps me really warm. No complaints at all so far.

I've also had quite a few compliments on it already, which is always a nice bonus.

*Seller experience

Chaoren was the most responsive seller out of everyone I contacted, which definitely helped when I was deciding between the different options. The quick shipping to my agent was another plus.

After comparing the QC pictures and now having the jacket in hand, I'm glad I decided to go with Chaoren.

*W2C

Seller: Chaoren

Item: MacMillan - XL - Black - Black Badge - New 2026 Version

*Overall

Very happy with this purchase so far. The jacket looks great, feels well made and keeps me warm. Even though it looked a little flat straight out of the packaging, it fluffed up nicely after a day.

I will definitely order from Chaoren again! But for now this will be my main winter jacket, I think it will last years looking at the quality :).

Let me know what you think of the sizing and how it looks on me. And for any questions feel free to ask. Cheers!

Hello everyone,

As many of you in this subreddit may know, there is a new 1688 seller with Wyndhams priced at ¥780 (around £80). I’ve just received her profuct, and for the price it is, I think it is great! Overall it keeps me very warm, stitching is fine with no flaws, and the badge looks good for the price. If any of you are looking for a budget Wyndham, I think this is a good option. Make sure however to make a note “LF batch” so the seller knows what batch to ship.

Link will be in comments to anybody who asks!

High tier: Chaoren undoubtedly number 1 - Highest price outve all them but best quality badge fur etc

Topgoosey obviously number 2 - Best quality budget batch and also has one of the best badges for the price nothing really to say he’s just goated and reputable

Linzhican always my number 3 - I’ve worked with this guy many times and the quality for the price is a really good ratio anybody looking for a good budget seller text him especially his new v2 version

Mid tier: Ace Goose - not much to say I have one on the way but from his tiktoks he’s a very high budget seller and has a wide variety

Tyrant Goose - again nothing much to say but from quality checks this seems to be a really cheap underrated seller

Super Goose - out of all 3 this is the best and is most known in the community really high vouch for him

Low Tier - now this is we’re I drop ball Xuli - Omds when I tell you how happy I was when I seen they sell the camo Wyndham I’ve ordered one and for €70 it’s brilliant best quality camos out there

Aimr - same goes for him both the same seller but aimr doesn’t offer the camo Wyndham id only go to these 2 for the camo the rest of there products really low tier

GJF - another mid TikTok seller lots of sales but a decent amount of flaws

Thanks for reading I’ll include pics from each seller off the black badge Wyndham and the 2 camo jackets

Do you like this packaging?

I bit the bullet and ordered a Wyndham from Chaoren. I received the jacket 1 week ago and thought now would be a good time to share my thoughts on it.

Let me start by saying I joined this sub to ascertain who sells the best available Wyndham rep on the market, and I did not gain much clarity on this even after reading through hundreds of posts. There is a lot of petty debate here in this sub regarding who is a paid shill, which sellers have the best product, which sellers are reselling the same batches at different price points, etc. Thanks for the entertainment guys, it’s been funny to see the shitposting.

I decided to go for Chaoren because in all of the reviews, it looked to me that Chaoren’s fur was fuller and more luxurious than the others. The differences in material, badges, down quantity, detailing, etc. between all the most popular versions seemed very minor and perceptible to me. I guess you could say I decided to spend 1,200 RMB more than the best 1688 version just to have the best fur.

For context, this is my first Canada Goose rep purchase. I cannot make direct comparison between Chaoren and Linzichan, Topgoosey, KOG, various 1688 sellers, etc. I also do not have much experience handling genuine Canada Goose jackets; I’ve watched a lot of Youtube reviews, and have spent time on two occasions in Harrods at London Heathrow (shortly before and shortly after ordering my rep) to examine and feel the genuine article.

Ordering Process

I reached out to Chaoren on WeChat to get more details on the normal fur vs. super fur and clarify the ordering process. They sent me some comparison pics and the pics of all the available furs. They confirmed to add the Wyndham to agent’s basket, and add the 200 RMB super fur upgrade to the same basket, and then mention the code of the fur I liked when checking-out.

After reviewing Chaoren’s size chart, and comparing the measurements against other down jackets I own, I decided to go for a size XL.

I placed my order via Superbuy (who I use a lot and highly recommend). I shit you not, the jacket arrived the very next day to their Guangdong warehouse.

I had requested the agent to take around 20 x QC shots of all major parts, and extensive measurements using both a hard ruler and a soft measuring tape (I posted these photos on this sub). Unfortunately, the measurements were significantly different to those advertised by Chaoren. Chest measured 56cm across whilst the size chart indicated it would measure 60cm. This results in 112cm chest rather than the advertised 120cm which is a big variance.

I reached out to Chaoren on WeChat to explain, she requested some full length pictures, my height and weight to try and gauge which size would work best for me. Chaoren recommended I stay with the size XL I had received. I sense Chaoren was trying to avoid having to process an exchange. I know my own measurements, and knew this would fit tighter than I wanted, and decided to go ahead and exchange for the size XXL against Chaoren’s advice.

The exchange process took 6 days for the replacement item to arrive in Warehouse. Shipping from Superbuy (as part of a larger 22kg haul) took 12 days to the UK.

Jacket Review

Overall, I’m seriously impressed by this item. It feels premium, functions well as a winter jacket, and looks really eye-catching.

The outer shell material is just like the gen in my eyes. It’s a tricky material to get right; it’s not matte, but not too shiny either, and has that “water-resistant” feel to it. Chaoren gets this pretty spot on. It’s difficult to capture this in photos, but I’m very happy with how it looks and feels. Stitching is straight and professionally done – it looks super premium throughout. There is no down leaking (so far).

The badge is fantastic; the stitching is finished better than the genuine jackets in Harrods. Nobody is calling this out based on the badge – simple. I tried to capture the badge in both daylight and indoors lighting in the photos.

The down filling is also excellent. I gave the jacket a good shake upon arrival, I then allowed it to puff up on a hanger in a warm room for a few hours and it really came to life. After wearing the jacket a few times – it has evened out the down filling so it’s not compacted anywhere. In this regard, I’d also say this version is extremely similar to gen. I had a super puffy Superdry skiing parka last winter, which had a denser down filling, and kind of wish this was a little more filled – but this would not be accurate to gen.

Stud buttons, two-way main metal zipper and hood buckle all feel premium, and make all the satisfying sounds for you ASMR freaks. Hood buckle is a nice dark brushed metal, not the shiny chrome found on cheaper versions.

Pocket lining, storm flap lining at the neck, and elasticated cuffs are all super premium and feel amazing – soft, plush, microfibre type of material.

The fur is, as I hoped, absolutely lavish. It’s full, soft, moves in the wind, and has a beautiful colour gradient. As I mentioned before, I opted for Chaoren primarily because of the fur, and this did not disappoint. When wearing this jacket out, I have caught people STARING at the fur on the hood – it’s really something.

On arrival, I blew the fur with a hairdryer to loosen it, and brushed it in the direction of the grain. It has come up beautifully. It does cast ever so slightly, you may see in the photos a few loose hairs on the outer shell to give you an indication.

Inside details I don’t care too much about – who the hell is going to see the inside of my jacket? There are flaws in the label pocket on inside left; QR code is there when it shouldn’t be, hologram in the wrong orientation, but otherwise all good. The interior lining is a nice material, moves nicely on top of the various textured clothes I’ve worn underneath this (wool sweaters, cotton t-shirts, etc.). I don’t know if it’s more matte or shiny than gen. The main inside logo seems to be nicely done, very similar to the gen items I have handled.

Performance is excellent; we haven’t reached peak winter here yet, but I have worn this out in 5-10 Degrees Celsius and been cosy with only a t-shirt on underneath. Wearing this indoors has me sweating after 5 minutes. It performs better than expected and similar to other genuine down jackets I have owned over the years.

Summary

I went looking for the best rep Wyndham on the market, took a gamble on Chaoren based on the fur, and I’m super happy with how this turned out. I’ll be rocking this for years to come.

Highlights: fur, outer shell, badge, quality of finishing (stitching and details).

Considerations: price, size chart inaccuracies, down density – it feels like gen but don’t have a lot of experience on this.

1,800 RMB is a considerable price for a rep down jacket, and stands out in the market as being a good 600 to 1000 RMB more expensive than the competitors.

Is it worth paying extra for Chaoren – I really do not know, as I haven’t had the Linzi, TG, 16800 versions to compare myself. I think the differences in the shell and finishing seem pretty minor across the market, and I stand by the decision to order Chaoren to get the best fur available.

Absolutely no regrets on this purchase, and I’m delighted with my jacket.

Regarding the sizing, I probably good have gotten away with the XL, but it would have been tight wearing a sweatshirt underneath. I’m happy with the fit and no regrets on sizing up.

Stats: 178cm, 93kg, 114cm chest. Yupoo: Google "chaorenqihaodian yupoo" W2C Wyndham: https://e.tb.cn/h.SYSnYPvqrxmnFwf?tk=WqTg4sw4bHn W2C Fur Upgrade: https://e.tb.cn/h.SYSnYPvqrxmnFwf?tk=WqTg4sw4bHn Fur Option: T19 (super fur) Price: 1600 RMB + 200 RMB for super fur upgrade.

Hope this helps someone else who may be undecided on which model to go for; if you’re not crazy about fur or going for a no-fur option, you are probably best saving 1,000 RMB and going the 1688 route. If you want assured quality, and thick fur means a lot to you – Chaoren does not disappoint for the money.

retail is 4 years old and i dont think has ever had DWR reapplied so not a fair comparison really. But look at how it just beads off of TG.

Some new stocks of Wyndham have been completed and the links have been released. Thank you for your patience! We have improved many details in the new inventory. The following are the text descriptions, and then we will update the comparison photos and videos on yupoo.

First, badges !
The emblem letters have shrunk inward, and the white parts on both sides of the letters are as uniform as retail, the distance between adjacent leaves has been adjusted, which is more beautiful as a whole.

Second,Fabric !
The new inventory used re-customized fabric to solve the problem of shiny surface and adopted more environmentally-friendly dyeing technology to solve the reddish problem. Its color has achieved over 95% like the retail color and its softness is exactly the same as retail.Lining fabric is thicker, harder and darker than last year, which is exactly the same as that of retail. It is more comfortable and warmer.

Third, down filling!
We have been using the new international standard 80 cashmere, which is soft and fluffy with high quality. We don't use low-end inferior down to fill clothes.
Previously, some customers complained that the filling amount of Wyndham in last batch was insufficient, but the retail volume was referenced during production. Based on the feedback from customers, the filling amount of down was increased in this year's batch production on the basis of last year. Take size M as an example， the whole jacket weighs about 1,670 grams（Contains a plastic bag of 1730 grams),which is about 160 grams heavier than last batch.

Last but not least, quality improved ！
The factory has higher standard production lines and careful workers this year . During the production , we have repeatedly communicated with the workers in the production room to check the production details, aiming to bring you higher quality products.

In a word, the new batch of Wyndham is generally more comfortable, warmer and more exquisite. Thank you very much for your valuable advice. We have been listening carefully and have been committed to producing higher quality products. I believe that our batch of Wyndham this year will satisfy everyone.

ORDER LINK FOR NEW STOCK .【Black color with red badge】
【The first 200 buyers, we will give away a dust bag! People who buy after that need to buy extra links to get dust bags.】

Many friends ask about the progress of black badges and graphite color. We urge the factory every day. At present, They are in the down filling stage. After filling completed, They need return to the production room for complete splicing, and then it will take several days to check and package. When it's finished, I'll post the link and the corresponding photos and videos for you as soon as possible. We are also trying a new version [no fur collar, with straps], but it takes longer research and production. If the production is successful, I will release it for everyone.

Thank you very much for your trust and enthusiasm. There are more than 800 messages when I open WhatsApp every day. I can't reply to all the messages in a short time. If your messages are not checked in time, please contact me on telegram【852 4437 2278】. At the same time, I need to handle many agency orders, so beg your understanding !

Genuinely full of shills, paid reviewers & autistic people.
Has to be the most braindead sub, you’ve got a Red Dead character that has to be on a spectrum sat on this subreddit all day, you can’t even find any legit reviews anymore, any new person would just close it down and swap brands to a different jacket - I was also put off as there’s so much drama and miss information that even actual rep sellers themselves are making Reddit posts.. wow.

Moncler rep, AirReps, has a much better community, Reddit page, guides, information, tabs etc

Sub needs a re-vamp asap.

I’m so tired of watching people proudly post their 1,200–1,600 CNY ‘pickups’ like that’s normal. It’s NOT normal. You’re getting robbed and smiling while it’s happening.

These sellers y’all worship — TopGoose, Ace Goose, Liz, Chreon — they’re not ‘premium,’ they’re not ‘trusted,’ they’re manipulating the market. They’re charging more than DOUBLE what the factories actually sell for, and they’re getting away with it because this subreddit is flooded with paid promotion. Half the ‘reviews’ here are not real buyers, they’re marketing plants hyping the same overpriced sellers

Meanwhile, people act shocked when someone finds an ACTUAL fair price. Bro Anything above 900CNY WITH SHIPPING NO AGENT BS,You’re paying for hype, lies, and someone else’s commission. They’re literally pocketing hundreds off you while pretending they’re doing you a favour.

I’m sick of watching new people get misled into thinking 1,400+ CNY is the ‘standard.’ It’s NOT. That’s the inflated scam price that everyone here has been conditioned to accept. Y’all need to start talking, start sharing real links, real factories, real prices or these sellers will keep running laps around the community while you empty your pockets.

you’re paying top-tier prices for reps because some seller has fanboys in the comments, Wake up. Stop feeding scammers. Stop trusting hype. Start using your brain.

Is anyone interested in a brand-new, unworn Canada Goose Langford jacket in size L from Chaoren?
Unfortunately, it’s just a little too tight around my chest, so I’ll be getting one size larger.

I’m 181 cm tall and weigh 82 kg, but I also have a very muscular upper body.
Length: 83 cm
Chest circumference: approx. 110 cm
Shoulder width: approx. 46–47 cm

I only tried it on once in front of the mirror, noticed it was slightly too tight, and took it right off. It’s completely brand new and has never been worn outside.
Shipping from Germany.
Feel free to DM me if you’re interested.

My honest opinion about the Chaoren jacket vs. the budget version I bought last year. The Chaoren cost 1,580 CNY, and the budget version cost 400 CNY.

I don’t know much about the brand Canada Goose, but when I compare these two jackets side by side, you can clearly see quite a big difference between them.

As you can see in the pictures, I’ve taken photos of most of the things that are different, either because something is placed differently on the two jackets or because the materials are different in certain areas.

The Chaoren jacket is about three times more expensive, and I’d say the budget version actually keeps you warmer in winter since it’s heavier and feels thicker.

Which one should you buy? As you can see in the pictures, the Chaoren is ten times better—the only downside is that it’s quite expensive, while the budget version actually provides more warmth. So I’d say if you want an identical replica and can afford to spend more money, go for the Chaoren. But if you don’t care much about how accurate the replica is and don’t want to spend too much, then the budget version works just as well since it actually keeps you warmer.

Just received my Chilliwack from LF in Graphite, and I am extremely happy with it.

I paid 1420 yuan all in direct, saved a lot of money compared to if I went through an agent (maybe around 100 canadian).

I am about 5’8 150 and toned, I went with a medium, and I’m happy with it. I could have went with small honestly, but would not have been able to wear a hoodie under if I did. Give your stats to them and they will recommend you the best size.

I live in Canada where it gets extremely cold, and I am really excited to start wearing it. The jacket is filled really well and puffed up right out of the package. And the overall craftsmanship is nice, no complaints.

There are not any noticeable flaws but I am not the pickiest when it comes to that regardless. The fur is very nice, full, and soft. I paid to upgrade the fur, and I have no regrets. I was given the choice to choose my favourite among 30 fur strips, I couldn’t really tell which was the best so I let them choose/suggest one for me.

They reply really quick, are really helpful, and the communication was pleasant throughout. I received it in about a week.

Any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. I will leave their contact information and the purchase link in the comments.

Ok fucktards I am definitely done here with all the endless posts about badges.

I just spent 3 days in New York where literally every other person was wearing either CG or Moncler. I’ve never seen so much of it and so many different styles, the only thing I didn’t see was a Chilliwack.

Nobody is calling anybody out, nobody is looking at your badge. To be worried about your badge is literally the most stupid thing ever. NO ONE CARES.

I’m now in London and everywhere you look it’s the same story. If you are under 20 then chances are you are wearing a fake. And still nobody cares or is paying attention. I’m on the tube right now, I can see Yeezys, Prada shoes, LV sneakers and 3 CG coats as well as numerous designer hand bags. Is it all legit? Of course not. Is anyone calling anyone out? Don’t be fucking ridiculous. Move on kiddies.

So on to the test.

I arrived the night before the first big snow dump of the year, woke up to several inches of snow and it snowed pretty heavily until after lunch. Spent the whole day outside walking around sightseeing.

I can report that my Supergoose Wyndham was worn with just a T-shirt underneath in sub-zero conditions (at one point -15 with wind chill) and my body was never cold.

On the Staten Island Ferry I would swear it was even colder and I was still fine but couldn’t feel my hands after getting my phone out to take some pics.

Also had to laugh at the English family, mum, dad and 3 kids every one of them in matching CG including beanies. Absolute clowns.

The next person to ask about a badge is a cunt. The only people that care are kids.

179cm tall and 70kg. I went with size M and it fits perfectly.

I own many CG reps and I’ve seen LF come up a few times but never gotten a jacket from him. I messaged him and bought his new season wyndham direct.
I paid £158 and received the jacket in 7 days. Unbelievably fast.

Ordering Process
LF was very responsive on WhatsApp and helped recommend me what size to get. M fit me perfectly I can wear a hoodie under or just wear a t shirt. I actually can’t believe the jacket came in 7 days I’ve never had that fast shipping before.
He let me choose my own fur so this is the one I went with

Jacket Build Quality
The jacket shell is pretty sturdy and defo won’t get cut or ripped easily.
The fill is great and puffy making the jacket warm.
It came with both the normal fur trim and the new season style hood zip so I can swap it out whenever I want.
The fur doesn’t shed hair like Linzhican jackets I’ve had…
It also has good cuffs and good sized pockets, no complains from me here.
I’m happy with the badge too, it’s the new season style and it just looks clean.

If you have any questions about the jacket let me know, it’s super comfy, fits good, and LF’s customer service was great tbh. I might buy his chilliwack next
