Well, Merganser Outdoor would sure seem to be implying just that! Check the pics (from eBay) and, if the crown label is to be believed (and who doesn’t abide by crown labels around here?), then maybe Alex Tilley has something to account for here. ”…more recently popularized in Canada…” i suppose it could be a spoof. I mean, more and more, simply saying a thing is all anyone needs to do to convince some people it’s the truth. #uspoliticsjoke . I tried googling Merganser Outdoor and didn’t find much and nothing that confirmed the claim in their crown label. Kinda begs the question… which company invented the wind cord system? One of these, or another? Post up if you know more.

I have never heard of this before. Looks a lot like a Tilley.

I’m going to hold you responsible for interpreting any Canadian humor or parody that may be at play here. Looks like Merganser Outdoor clothing is claiming to be Canadian. Is this some sort of persnickety or reverse way of acknowledging that they are directly copying a Tilley T3 or… maybe something else imperceptible to this mere “middle American”?

According to the crown label (Tilley Like) they predated Tilley. I feel like the crown label reads too much like a Tilley Label. I wonder if they made their label after the Tilleys started to gain popularity.
