To ask for a warm cruelty free parka

[Teaandlipstick]

Writing here for traffic. Please suggest me a warm no animal parka. I would prefer knee length, slim fit. I am also short with 159 cm, so if you are around my height, do you have recommendations for brands or models you prefer?

Thank you so much in advance. I spent hours looking online. My budget is about £300.

Not got a specific coat, but PrimaLoft is a very good synthetic down alternative, so perhaps use that in your searches.

Thank you, will check

I asked this a few months back and had no response - so place marking :)

Uniqlo has some completely synthetic coats.

Didriksons are great.

Musto always a good bet for quality outdoor gear:

Some potentials at Finisterre too:

I have a fab coat from Aigle

I returned both a Finisterre and a Fjallraven coat in favour of the Aigle. All are great quality though

Cruelty-free .. do you mean "vegan" or one that doesn't come from a factory where workers work for over 12 hours with no weekends for a penny and get sexually assaulted by their bosses?

I have the long duvet coat from Monki which is 100% synthetic, it's ridiculously warm and mid calf on me (I'm the same height as you).

Fjallraven or Patagonia

Buy secondhand from a charity shop. Any cruelty in how it was made has been washed away by the first buyer and the next buyer is guilt free.

I have a Prima Loft parka from Icelandic brand 66 North, it's excellent quality. Bought it in the sale a couple of years ago for around £250.

Otrium have a Filipa K one which looks good with 20% off. It's a good place to buy discounted designer clothes.

This completely.

Look on Vinted/eBay, you can get some fantastic deals and easily pick up something that’s new or barely worn.

I have sent away to Amsterdam for a parka from the brand Embassy of Bricks and Cloth. Costs 300 quid but I can't wait to get my mitts on it. Mine is just a bum coverer but they have longer length options too. Rubbish at links but will screen shot...

Didrikson. Synthetic fillings and fake fur.

Also bear in mind if it’s ‘cruelty free’ it will be synthetic which will be an non-degradable material which is far worse for the planet than down.

Apologies, the brand is Embassy of Bricks and Logs. Also apologies for the ludicrous styling in the pic, I have seen this jacket in real life and it is AMAZING

Another vote for Didrikson - the cosiest parka I've ever owned!

Didrikson are very warm and no animal products

@EerieSilence, where birds are not hung upside down with their throat slits

Thank you all Will check these labels.
Has anyone tried Save the duck jackets?

@MorrisZapp that jacket is nice. But I am only 159, I am afraid it may not look too round in it.

@Teaandlipstick, i.e. you only apply the cruelty brand to animals but don't give a damn about how the workers are treated in the factory where it was produced? In that case you have a very wide range of products.
