Burton is a sports brand specialize in making trendy snowboarding equipments. That's why their jackets are nice looking and expensive. I think it's a canadian brand, but not sure.
Jake Burton is the founder of Burton. He's from Long Island, NY. I believe the company is a US company. I have several Burton hoodies, they are really stylish and they keep you warm in the snow. I highly recommend Burton jackets/hoodies/snowcoats. They might be a little pricey, but definitely worth the investment.
