How a Canada Goose Jacket is Made: 240 Pieces, 9 different fabrics & 40 Hands start to finish.
Glen takes viewers on a journey from a weather-induced stop in Sioux Lookout to the Canada Goose factory in Winnipeg.
The video highlights:
Aviation Logistics: Glen's flight in his Cessna 172 (Mike Victor Uniform), dealing with freezing rain, low clouds, and the necessity of emergency winter gear.
The Manufacturing Process: An in-depth tour of the Canada Goose plant, detailing the lifecycle of a parka—from the high-tech "blueprint" cutting room (optimizing fabric usage) to the complex assembly line.
Craftsmanship Metrics: Discovery that a single jacket can have up to 240 pieces and be touched by over 40 sets of hands during its 680-minute production cycle.
Technical Highlights: Insights into "downfilling" machines, the importance of "quilting" for heat distribution, and the use of air-hockey-style tables to move heavy fabric layers.
Creator: Glen's Hangar
Aircraft: Cessna 172B (Mike Victor Uniform)
Location: Winnipeg, Manitoba; Sioux Lookout; Steinbach (noted for pilot-friendly amenities).
Brand: Canada Goose (factory tour, manufacturing, Made in Canada).

Steinbach North Airport in Manitoba has the perfect mix of what an aviation stop needs: Cheap fuel, cheap tie downs, easy access to hotels and restaurants.
It’s not just a tour; it’s a testimonial of gear that kept the Glen warm during a real-world aviation delay.
