10 Sustainable Coats and Jackets to Shop in 2023
Looking for some sustainable coats and jackets? These eco-friendly options won't disappoint.

Published
Staying cozy can sometimes come at a cost to the planet. Many coats and jackets get their warmth from down insulation, which typically comes from ducks and geese—something that is neither ethical nor sustainable. Others are made from synthetic fibers like polyester—a type of plastic that's derived from petroleum and doesn't biodegrade down like natural fibers.
The next time you're shopping for a sustainable coat, opt for eco-friendlier materials that will keep you warm without harming the environment. That could look like everything from down alternatives to recycled water bottles.
Here, sustainable and eco-friendly coats and jackets that have a lower impact.
