Aldi has added a new jacket to its clothing range that closely resembles more expensive options at rival retailers. The Adults Outdoor Sweat Jacket is now available across all 1,000-plus stores while stocks last, priced at £14.99.
The jacket comes in blue, black and brown, in sizes medium to extra large. It can only be picked up in-store, which is not good news for people who prefer home delivery.
Design and Features
At a glance, the jacket has a fleece-like look designed to trap warmth, aided by a zip fastening and hood. There is a front pocket for everyday essentials like phones and wallets, and a cool coordinates design on the top left.
Describing the product, Aldi said: "Stay comfortable whatever the weather with a cosy, easy-to-wear design that's ideal for outdoor pursuits. The soft fabric provides warmth without compromising on breathability."
Checking Availability
Shoppers interested in finding out more can head to the Aldi website. Before heading out to pick one up, you can check stock levels at your local store using the online store finder by entering your postcode. A list of nearest stores will appear, along with indicators showing whether the jacket is available at each location.
Comparison with Pricier Options
It could be considered a budget alternative to the Full-Zip Brushed Cotton Casual Hoodie at Debenhams. That usually sells for £39.99 but has been reduced to £24.99 as part of a limited-time deal.
"The Graphic Get Ready for Adventure Full Zip Hoodie is designed for everyday comfort and easy layering," reads the product description on the Debenhams website. "Made from soft brushed cotton with a textured waffle fabric, it offers a cosy feel and lasting comfort."
Finished with a full zip design, it's perfect for outdoor adventures, travel, and relaxed everyday wear. The description adds: "Fabric feels soft on the skin and keeps you comfortable. Allows you to ventilate or retain your body heat as and when you need it."
For those with deeper pockets, Next is stocking the Navy Blue Oversized Premium Maison Hoodie at a pricier £56. It also comes in grey for anyone on the hunt for a more neutral look. Product features include a hooded embroidered Maison graphic, side slip pockets, zipped-through, long sleeves, machine washable, and 100% cotton.
Both are not too different to Aldi's offering aesthetically, but both shops do offer home delivery. To find out more, head to either the Debenhams or Next websites.
