The Bite:
Bundle up in the Earth's top layers: sustainably made with eco-materials. These coats for the ladies keep you feeling toasty and looking hot like magma.

The Benefits:
- Core pieces for your closet. Everyone needs a good coat; these options aren't the cheapest, but they're great anchors for your winter wardrobe.
- Not-just-surface-level greenness. Organic cotton averts pesticides associated with typical cotton; surplus fabric makes use of materials that would otherwise go to the landfill.
- Close-to-your-own-crust fabrication. Most of these are made in the USA.
Personally Speaking:
Heather loves the Tamo Design coat she got for Burning Man - and even after a week in the dust-stormy desert, it looks good enough to wear out to dinner.
Wanna Try:
- Tamo Design Baroness Jacket - faux fur-lined, recycled-poly fleece and wool ankle-length jacket; dark brown in color ($220).
- Loyale Costilla Jacket - cream-colored, superlux faux fur made from organic cotton ($420).
- Emily Katz Wow Rain Jacket - surplus microfiber trench in a gray-blue color. Stockists here ($348).
- Juleselin Mary Jane Coat - black, organic cotton sweatshirt material with droopy pockets, a shawl-like hood, and a built-in scarf ($298).
- H&M Wool Coat - gray, recycled wool fiber, funnel-neck coat (shown here on a style blog). Find a store ($129).
Cocktail Fact
The center of the Earth is about 4,000 miles from the surface.
Bang For The Bite
If 10,000 Biters opt for an organic cotton coat, we'll keep the weight of 10 buses in pesticides outta the environment.
