Why We Love This Deal
While men love comfortable outerwear, finding good pieces at a comfortable price point is not the easiest trick in the world. But, now through Dec. 17, the Cole Haan Wishlist Sale is on, and you can get up to 60% off select items, including the brand’s famously comfortable yet stylish shoes and jackets. The sale’s best deal, though, could very easily be this insulated vest at an incredibly low $45 price.
The Cole Haan Zip Front Quilted Vest is now 54% off in all of its sizes and colorways. We’re already seeing larger sizes sell out in some colors, but the classic gray, blue, black, and mustard still have everything in stock (for now). This might be one of the lowest prices Men’s Journal has ever spotted on a name-brand puffer vest, so if you want one, we’d jump on the deal before they inevitably sell out.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From small to 2XL
- Color Options: 6, though several are already selling out of larger sizes
- Shell Material: Nylon
- Fill Material: Polyester
- Notable Feature: Slanted breast pocket
- Best Use Case: This vest provides a fashionable layer for winter wear, equally capable of going over jackets as T-shirts.
This quilted vest provides a fashionable way of layering up. Cole Haan calls it a vest with “incredible versatility,” and that makes a ton of sense—it’s designed to be thrown over everything from a T-shirt to a jacket, or underneath your biggest coat. The vest warms with a polyfill under a sporty nylon shell.
One of the notable things about this vest is the angled opening of the left breast pocket. It’s a feature you don’t see often, but you probably should. The angle, which slopes towards the middle of the body, allows for easier entry of the hand, all the more important since the opening is lined with zipper teeth. There are also the classic handwarmer pockets, right at the comfortable position you’d find on a hoodie.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One shopper said of the vest, “It’s soft, cozy, and looks great.” They also mentioned they get compliments every time they wear the vest.
Plenty of others also mentioned that the vest is warm, but not too warm. As one put it, “The vest is very well made and perfect for Texas winters.”
The Cole Haan Zip Front Quilted Vest is down to just $45 right now. That makes it the most competitively priced Cole Haan outerwear layer in the sale, which ends Dec. 17.
