I read somewhere that these "down filled" and fur lined replicas are made using the cheapest fill/fur they can find. I also read a few articles of people getting sick (allergies and what-not) from the fill/fur. I found a seller on AE with great pricing and high quality CG parkas, I was going to order one for my wife and I but decided against it due to the fill/fur.

I've been browsing AE for years, links/shops close down so often.
If you like a product, but not ready to buy it, send the seller a message, this way if/when the product page goes down, you can send them another message asking for a new link.


I bought 2 pair of Yeezy's (pirate black), a $45 pair that were junk and a $75 pair that are better (except I think the print on the shoe is a little too 'light' or not 'heavy' enough. also I bought my actual size, but I need to go down a half size).
(the $45 pair have the green-ish patch and much lighter color material)

PM me if you need/want the link.
I was told the end of the month there will be "V6" of the boost 350's but the highest quality versions go for $179, a little steep if you ask me, I will stick to my $75 pair, going to order some moon rocks and tans this weekend.

(Yes, they are like watches, they keep coming out with better versions, there is a whole reddit page dedicated to rep-sneakers and a couple sellers like angus that keep everyone up to date with the latest versions)

Some time ago I promised to post pictures of the North Face gloves I bought on alie. They are quite warm, and for the price you wouldn't complain. They even have E-tip, so you can use your smartphone with them on ; )
Pictures after few weeks of using, so they are surviving really well!

No articles, but i've been reading reviews for over a month on the CG parkas and it was a well talked about issue, no one knows exactly what the fill is or what the fur is. A guy said the fur on his rep CG parka from AE was almost identical to his German Shepard's fur...

Generally(Even gen down jackets) use raccoon DOG fur. It is incorrectly just called raccoon. The raccoon dog is a a sub-species in the dog family.
So that is also why the fur on the parkas sometimes smell like wet dog.
No joke.
