Now that retro shit is on the come-up, thanks to the kids following the deadstock sneaker aficionados and Poloheads buying up every damn thing '80s or '90s on Ebay, throwback gear is being seen on the regular. And while some things should remain a memento of our past (Parasuco Jeans anyone?), there are some looks that really do deserve a comeback -- like Triple FAT Goose. We were really happy when the OG brand of marshmallow-puffy down-filled winter coats quietly slipped into the racks of our favorite boutiques this Season. Officially debuted in '87, Goose was a hood pick, long before Tommy or Ralph, 'cause back then nobody could afford North Face, which was then only worn by crunchy granola Europe backpacking types anyway. TFG’s heavy material and extra-soft inner lining made going to school or just to the corner store on those icy winter mornings possible. Word is the F.A.T. acronym stands for "For Artic Temperatures".
It's been about 20 years since its introduction, and Triple FAT Goose is back in effect with better quality and fit (perfect timing since it's fucking brick outside right now). There's a new Limited Edition collection called Triple FAT Goose Originals, which includes a fresh lambskin jacket (pictured above, 500 pieces only) cut like it was straight off the ’80s sample. If you think winter's lineup is pretty fresh, Spring '09 holds a spectacular collection as well. TFG will introduce a new line of water-and-wind proof Goose Shells. Sounds like smooth sailing, baby.
