11 Down-Free Jackets to Keep You Warm All Winter

Many of your fave brands offer animal-friendly clothing options, including down-free jackets. Birds don’t need to be tortured and killed for humans to stay warm during colder months, yet many jackets use down feathers, the soft layer closest to birds’ skin. Down feathers are torn from their birds’ bodies while they’re still alive and can leave gaping wounds that are crudely stitched together – all without painkillers. Otherwise, their feathers are taken from them after their throat has been cut. 💔

Thankfully, we can keep cozy, look good, AND be kind to birds by choosing down-free jackets. 🥰 Here are 11 feather-free jackets to help you bundle up:
