sustainable winter coats & jackets
& if you are going to buy new outerwear this winter, let’s make it ethical! We’ve tested a few sustainable coats & jackets and listed several from trusted ethical brands. We think everyone’s priority when buying outerwear is warmth and comfort. Some of these listed designs can keep you feeling warm in below-freezing weather, while others are great for layering and act more like your everyday coat & jacket.
What makes a jacket or coat sustainable?
When it comes to a sustainable coat, there are many things we look for - Who makes it? What is it made from? Can we wear it for years to come? Transparency is essential to us when shopping. We want to ensure the coat is made by someone paid a fair wage and has a low environmental impact.
What eco-friendly materials should you look for?
We want to find the warmest of the warm fabrics when it comes to winter coats. Some of the best eco-friendly fibers to look out for include recycled polyesters (great for making puffier coats, waterproofing and vegan alternatives to down), organic cotton (typically used for outward appearances rather than warmth), and responsible wools (either recycled or humane).
now, our top picks for sustainable winter coats & jackets:
1) Boxy Chic Hooded Puffer Coat
