It’s only been about two years since we first reported on the cheap-but-expensive-looking puffer coat that was taking over the Upper East Side, but in that time, the Orolay coat has gone viral, both online and in real life. And while China-based Orolay has expanded its offerings, other brands have created Amazon Coat–esque jackets — like this “Faux Shearling-Lined Puffer Coat” from Sam Edelman. It’s got a similar faux-fur lined hood, blocky pockets, and boxy fit, but it’s not quite the same coat everyone else is wearing. After all, it comes in non-Amazon coat colors, like yellow and white, and it has monochromatic ribbons that give it a slightly more subtle look, even if it’s got a very similar silhouette. And right now, this Sam Edelman jacket is on sale at Nordstrom for just $97, 30 percent off the list price (and still cheaper than the O.G. Orolay coat on Amazon).
