Coats for Blokes

Posted November 20th 2008 at 4:47 am by TheDiscerningBrute

Jack Frost would have bit my big Jew-nose really hard this morning had I not had a cozy winter coat. It’s not so easy to find really warm, well-built winter coats that aren’t filled with feathers, lined with leather, made of wool, or trimmed with fur. My first recommendation is to check out your local thrift store. My second recommendation are this organic, fair-trade, and vegan coat:

If those don’t work out, here are some awesome, animal-friendly coats to keep the chill out! I have these broken into three categories: Money to Burn, Big Spender, & Average Joe.

AVERAGE JOE

And lastly, don’t forget to stand around on the porch in your organic thermal undies!

    Replying to this thread since it comes up on the first page of a google search for “Vegan mens coat”. This pea coat from JCPenney is excellent, cheap and vegan! I just bought one and it’s plenty warm for a New York winter:

    You should really consider pulling down the penfield jacket. while they do support the WSPA they also sell coats with fur. this coat: http://penfieldusa.com/store_us/index.php/holliston.html has coyote fur as an option… otherwise thanks for the post.

    Totally didn’t catch that! i read “hemp wool” and assumed it was a faux wool made from hemp, but if you keep reading, there is actually a real wool blend. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll take it down.

    It looks like the Rawganique Nova Scotia coat (1st picture) is made out of wool so it’s prob. not vegan. Am I right?
