Don't Buy a $300 Mango "Wool" Coat

save big on these beautiful vintage options instead 💛

Say goodbye to fast fashion! I’ve found you 30 vintage wool coats for a fraction of the price. I’m Emily Stochl, a vintage & secondhand fashion reporter🎤 and this is Pre-Loved, an indie media platform featuring vintage fashion recommendations!

Don't buy that $300 Mango “wool” coat whose composition is only 52% wool (44% polyester, 2% polyamide, 2% acrylic). Seriously, where have all the actual wool coats — the ‘naturally breathable, and meant to keep you warm one’s’ — gone!?

You’re hard-pressed to find them anywhere new today, and instead traditional fashion media runs countless articles about fast-fashion blend versions like this one, comparing it to The Row, and rounding up all the celebrities who have been spotted wearing it.

No doubt this coat was seeded to a million influencers for the amount of breathless coverage it received…

Never fear, Pre-Loved subscribers! I’ve rounded up 30 vintage wool coats (~sizes XS-XXL) all under $100. Plus, search terms to save for your next little Gem app search.
