[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HA is actual down, versus cotton or poly fill in Gap or Mni Boden coats. If the fill content is important to you, then $35 is cheaper than any of the other brands mentioned here even 50% off. We're going to be outdoors a lot more this winter, so if there's a year to spring for actual down, this would be it. I think $35 including shipping is a fair price for a heavy weight down coat in excellent condition. I would not pay that much for an older one showing wear, even if the quality is better (sigh, old HA is much better quality).

I think the ones PPs are mentioning for cheaper are the thinner down coats, like this one: https://www.costco.com/eddie-bauer-youth-reversible-down-jacket%2C-blue-ombredark-blue.product.100539897.html[/quote]

when you say " actual down" You mean " actual soft bird feathers that the birds were still using when they were cruelly plucked out"......I am fine with polyfill.[/quote]

If that's your concern, I'd prefer a used coat to a new sweatshop produced Gap coat, down or polyfill. Or even worse, a new light weight down coat from Costco or Nordstrom Rack. But OP didn't ask about the ethical implications of her winter coat, she asked whether the price makes sense. The materials used in the coat is relevant to whether two brands are comparable.[/quote]
