Lidl shoppers can buy an "extra warm" winter coat for £39.99 that closely resembles a designer version currently priced at £276.50. The Esmara Ladies' Down Padded Jacket will be part of the supermarket's middle aisle fashion sale starting Sunday, November 15.
The £39.99 Esmara Down Padded Jacket
The coat is available in olive green or black, in sizes small to large. Lidl describes it as "extra warm" thanks to its duck down and feather filling. It is wind- and water-resistant, with a full-length drawstring, a "drawstring hood and concealed storm flap", side pockets with press studs, and zipped inner pockets.
Comparison with the Sweaty Betty Nimbus Puffer
The "relaxed fit" coat looks similar to the Sweaty Betty Nimbus Longline Waterproof Puffer, which is on sale for £276.50, down from its original £395 price. That coat also comes in black and olive, plus four other colours, and is filled with a "warm down filling" paired with feathers.
Sweaty Betty claims: "[This coat was] tested to withstand over 16,000mm of water pressure, the Nimbus Puffer keeps you dry in even the wettest conditions. [It is] 100% recycled fabric, storm cuffs, fleece-lined pockets and a fixed hood with an innovative lockable drawcord."

The sale includes a small selection of items for men and women, such as the Esmara Ladies' Padded Coat at £19.99, the Esmara Men's Puffer Jacket at £11.99, fleece pyjamas at £6.49 for both men and women, a chunky knit cardigan at £8.99, a men's half zip sweatshirt or hoodie at £8.99, and men's joggers at £8.99.
