Hello Jamie,

It was the sleeve exclusively. Here, this may help:

Armpit seam to edge of sleeve (without ribbed cuff): 43cm
Ribbed cuff: 8.5cm
Armpit seam to edge of ribbed cuff: 51.5cm

It has helped, thank you. Just to make sure, is the Armpit seam to edge of sleeve measurement including the ribbing or not?

Pardon the extra post. Some details I left out is that I’m about 5’9.5 to 5’10 and about 120lbs. I don’t mind if the sleeves are short (unless I can still see my wrist even after wearing gloves). Just looking for the size that provides the slimmest fit, shall we say.

I want to get the Chilliwack Bomber but am having some trouble with the sizes. The smallest size a local store carries is a Medium and I find the arm area to have a little too much room. Would you be able to tell me if the arm area (as well as the chest area) of an XS is much smaller than that of a Medium or slightly smaller?

By arm area, I’m refering to the armpits of the jacket. Maybe an exact measurement if possible with it laying flat?

Hello Jane,

Both are great jackets. I would recommend the Kensington because its longer length will keep your warmer. I would go for the small. The Kensington has a tighter fit than the Trillium, so if the XS on the trillium was too tight, you can imagine what it would be with the Kensington. I hope this helps.

Hello Katrina,

Considering the information you gave me, I recommend you get a 2XS. I hope this helps.

Hello Shannon,

I checked and your original order was cancelled, you were fully and automatically refunded. Everything looks good for your order with the Medium. I hope your Trillium fits like a glove. Have a nice weekend : )

Thanks Juan for clarifying. Yesterday morning I ordered the Trillium in Navy( Large) online – because the website didn’t show medium was available, but now I see that it is. My order is still in the processing stage as I’m waiting for my account to update the second amount charged to my credit card – I emailed back the site’s ‘info’ email address back asking if I could make this change from Large to Medium while I wait to email backwith that amount charged to my account. … I hope this is possible :)

Good afternoon Shannon,

Considering the info you gave me, I would go for the Medium. I think it will fit just right whereas the Large will most probably be too loose. I hope this helps.

Good Morning

I’m not sure what size to get in a Canada Goose coat. I would like to get the Trillum Parka but unsure whether to get a medium (which might be too small) or a large (which might be too large). I am 5 7, about 150 lbs and about 36 in the chest.

Hello Christophe,

Glad to hear you got a reasonable discount. The preferred method for cleaning a Canada Goose jacket is to be sure to closely follow the directions on the contents label on the inside of the garment. But generally, that means taking it to a dry cleaner. Machine washing your parka will void the warranty.

I hope this helps.

Hi,
I have managed to get a reasonable discount from ASOS (in the UK-Authorised dealer) for a Chilliwack jacket in Medium.
One question please, I notice the Fur/hood is not removable, so, when it comes to cleaning the garment what is the preferred method? (Ideally one that will not void the warranty).

Thanks from across the pond!

Hello Jens,

I recommend a Large for a 97 cm chest. Maybe a Medium if the wants it quite tight, but Large would be best.

I hope this helps,

Hello Nick,

At that size, probably would be slightly too small, especially at the arms.

Hello… I am wanting to order a trillium for my girlfriend. She is a size 38 european size, but she is 97 cm or 38 inch around the chest. I am thinking that she needs a medium, but I really have no idea. Please help with a good advice. Will she fit a medium trillium or does she need to go down to small..
