It’s been five years since we reported on “the Amazon coat” — an unassuming olive-green parka spotted on every corner of the Upper East Side — and it has since gone globally viral. Now, the puffer has over 27,000 reviews, is a fixture on Amazon’s best-selling women’s down jackets, and is available in new colorways and materials (including this cozy sherpa-lined option). Its rise in popularity inevitably drove up its price. What was once a less-than-$100 jacket at the time we spotted it now retails for $152. Luckily, as part of Amazon’s October Prime Day Sale, you can snag the original olive-green down coat for just $90, an even better deal than it was five years ago. We even found a kids’ version, in case you feel so inclined to match.
