Depends where you live! There is probably a good math problem here Latitude, Elevation would need to be factored.Interesting logic. At what magical price is a winter coat not a status symbol?

Yeah, you do need to pay for something that will have very good insulating properties, but imo, Canada Goose seems to have crossed over and is now a status symbol. I'm not saying their coats won't keep you warm, but you can save yourself 700 (or so) dollars, it just won't have that fancy patch that people strive for.
Is a $150 Brooks Brother’s dress shirt a status symbol since a JC Penny’s dress shirt runs at $9.74 - $14.99?
They both perform the same function.
I'd say a decent dress shirt should start at around $35-50. Anything past $100 and it had better be made of pure silk or something equally expensive and fine, like cashmere and the finest cotton on the planet.Is a $150 Brooks Brother’s dress shirt a status symbol since a JC Penny’s dress shirt runs at $9.74 - $14.99?

To answer your rhetorical question, no. Mainly because, unless you're a goofball and buy a **** with the logo on it, nobody will know what brand of shirt your'e wearing.
Canada Goose lost its durability years ago. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole now. Arcteryx or Carhart would be my recommendations. Very expensive, but they last with care, IMO. Columbia and this other brand that sounds like taragon are good, too.

Also, Brooks Brothers today is not the Brooks Brothers you and I wore in our youth. It's cheapened out over time and just isn't as good as it was then. The only thing that's improved with time in our lives is beer and cars. Which is a win for me, personally.
I think denver counts as southern latitude. Maybe in the mountains but the city is pretty temperate all year isn’t it?
