Black Friday is almost here, and if you're in the market for a new winter coat this season, now's definitely the time to shop. Some of the season's best brands, like Woolrich and Cotopaxi, are offering Black Friday deals up to 40% — their steepest markdowns of the year. Additionally, major retailers like Saks 5th Ave are offering really good deals on brands we rarely see on sale, like Canada Goose. So, whether you're after a cozy puffer, a timeless wool coat, or a technical parka, these deals are worth hopping on to stay warm and cozy for the season ahead.
Shopping for winter coats in November is not only smart but strategic. The best winter coats for women are already disappearing from racks as demand ramps up, and waiting until later could mean you're stuck paying full price — or settling for less-than-perfect options. Right now, you can score some of our favorite winter jackets at an amazing price, including Frank and Oak's vegan down parka for 40% off and Halfdays' new Wheeler Parka for under $300 at 20% off.
Black Friday is one of the best days to buy winter coats. Brands have a ton of early-season stock, which means plenty of colors and sizes to choose from. Many are trying to pare down their stock from last season, which means you can often score a great deal on a coat that's barely one season old.
The warmest winter coat is going to be made of down or synthetic insulation, which traps heat in the jacket to insulate your body heat. Warmth is usually noted by "fill" power; for a seriously warm coat, look for 650-800 fill power down.
