Men’s Vegan Coats Buyer’s Guide

What Makes a Vegan Coat Vegan?

To qualify as a true vegan coat, the material, the filler, and the accessories must be cruelty-free.

Anything that comes from an animal in any form is not vegan. Thankfully many creative options look and feel like leather or suede, and many filler materials that insulate as well or are better than down.

Always read the labels of anything you are unsure of, and never be afraid to send messages to the big-name companies that you will not be buying non-vegan items.

The Most Important Factors to Consider When Choosing a Winter Coat

Many things are essential, especially when choosing a winter coat. Cost is probably high on the list for many people, but durability should also be factored into that decision.

Can you afford to continue buying lower quality items every year when you could buy a good quality, durable item at a slightly higher price and have it for years?

Style is another very important factor. A classically styled winter coat will give you more wear than a trendy piece that will look out of place in a single season.

You may enjoy the wild color selection, but if you enter the corporate world, will your sassy coat send the wrong message about your intentions?

Included in the style is the length. Winter coats can be short (think bomber jackets), mid-length (think ski parkas), or longer (puffer coats, trench coats). The length you choose may depend on your main activities while wearing the skin and the type of coverage and comfort level you will need.

Additional Important Features and Accessories

Versatility is probably one of the most important features when choosing a winter coat. The more places you can wear the coat, the more value you get from the purchase.

Bomber style or ski parkas are a good choice, especially if they have removable hoods. Opt for a neutral color, and you can dress these types of coats up or down as needed.

Convertible winter coats are another great choice because they can be worn in many ways. Options that allow you to zip liners in or out as needed will enable you to wear this coat for most of the year.

 

Things To Watch Out for with Vegan Coats

Everyone knows that down or fur coats need special care but did you know that some vegan materials also require special handling? Just because they are not “down” does not mean that all vegan coats are easy to care for.

This is another moment where reading the label can save you from a costly mistake. Some polyester fill coats can be washed and dried in your home machine, while others may still need dry cleaning.

 

Final Considerations

It is important to choose the right coat for your needs.

Look at your typical winter conditions and your lifestyle before starting your search.

Set a budget and choose your key features to narrow your search.

Use the brands listed here as guidelines but consider shopping for lesser-known names that use similar materials and features to save money on the overall cost. Many of the most popular vegan coats have been made by other companies at substantial savings.

Remember always to read labels carefully because some brands will list their items as “vegan” but still use wool and other animal-derived materials in some way.
