We are heading into puffy coat season here in Waterloo. Each year, I’m on the look out for a new winter coat (I get so tired of mine by the end of a season). Sometimes I get lucky and I invest in something new, but this doesn’t happen every year. Coats are definitely an investment. Now with the brand names and the high-tech fabrics, winter coats can get pricey. Here’s just a small selection of some of the white puffers that are in the marketplace.
ultralight 850 down coat, long, $259, LLBean
ultralight 850 down coat, $229, LLBean
short quilted puffer jacket with faux-fur hood, $302 (CAD, on sale), J. Crew
faux fur trim parka, $149, Joe Fresh
Kensington Parka, $775, Canada Goose
Katie jacket, $400, Lole
Joinville, $1630, Moncler
*I’m just assuming that puffy coats are the warmest ones on the market. My own puffy coat is certainly the warmest option in my closet (though it’s not the prettiest).
I once had the greatest, warmest, puffy coat. It was Tommy Hilfiger and looked very similar to the J.Crew one above. I mistakenly threw the coat into the wash, it was a down filled coat and never should have seen a washing machine. The coat didn’t make it and I have been mourning that mistake ever since 😀 Also, have you heard of http://www.thewhitecompany.com ? Found them in my travels and instantly thought of you! xx
Sorry to hear about your puffy coat disaster. At least you enjoyed it while you had it! And, yes, I have heard of the White Company. Gorgeous! Thanks, Rox-Anne.
