Where can I buy a mans padded jacket that doesn’t contain recycled products

wasty

I looked at M&S and there are a number of jackets that I liked, but they all contained recycled products, even a £140 jacket contained “recycled down and feather quilted lining for added warmth”. Recycled fabric is bad enough but recycled down in a jacket at that price is outrageous, what on earth are M&S thinking, no wonder they were not doing very well financially!

I am self isolating, so can anyone suggest where I can buy a jacket containing no recycled products?

Incidentally, I bought their most expensive duvet, and assumed it would be British, but when I got home, I found that it was made in Estonia, M&S have definitely lost the plot (not that I’ve got anything against Estonia), but I suppose at least it wasn’t made in China.  Consequently, I have learned to look very closely at the details of M&S products before I buy.

I think it’s great that they are using recycled products ! Let’s hope more companies do the same. 

Have you tried Regatta, lands end, go outdoors, snow & Rock, Blacks .... hundreds on google x

 A good quality branded non recycled feather and down jacket may cost you twice as much!

It's called sustainability and is seen as a plus point for sellers. What's your problem with doing your bit for the planet? The recycled stuff is sterilised in the recycling process.
