With the cold wind blowing, many people find themselves in search of jackets and coats during the month of October and November. Some jackets and coats are made from non-sustainable materials like petroleum, synthetics and animal-derived products.
With this in mind, finding a winter coat that is warm and environmentally friendly can be hard. But here are my two top jackets and two top coats that might fit the bill – in terms of sustainability and affordability.
Patagonia Fleece Jackets – $80-150
Patagonia fleece jackets use some of the most sustainable fleece because it is made with recycled materials. They are warm, durable and come in many colors. Although it is on the more expensive side, it is still affordable.
TenTree Jackets – $80-150
These jackets are made of 99% recycled materials and are warm and well-made. The brand prides itself on sustainable-fill in the jackets and their use of no toxic chemicals.
Quince Coat – $150
The Quince Responsible Down coat is made with ethically sourced materials and is water-repellant and wind-resistant.
Toad and Co Coat – $130-300
These puffer parkas are long, durable and warm. They’re made from recycled materials and they’re lined with sustainable fleece.
