It’s been impossible to scroll through Instagram in recent weeks without the same quilted khaki coat, which comes courtesy of New York-based retailer The Frankie Shop, popping up on our feeds.
Costing £245, the Teddy jacket (Thefrankieshop.com) has become an instant cult classic among the fashion crowd and was recently named “the hottest product in the world” by global fashion shopping platform, Lyst, in its report that identifies the brands and products that are trendy right now.
And, it’s not hard to see why The Frankie Shop’s quilted coat has proved so popular. Lightweight, collarless and with an oversized fit, it also has pockets, comes in a range of colours and lends itself perfectly to layering. What more could you ask for?
Despite the steep price tag, the brand has hardly been able to keep the jacket in stock. However, we’re here to share the good news that the popular style is finally back – go, go, go!But,if you can’t quite justify splurging on the real thing, there are plenty of high street alternatives that can still help you get the same look.
From M&S to Asos, Lindex and River Island, we’ve scoured the virtual rails to find the best dupes of this season’s must-have jacket. Here are the best lookalikes that you can shop right now.

The Frankie Shop quilted padded ripstop jacket: £240, Thefrankieshop.com
Inspired by traditional army surplus liner jackets, the original Frankie Shop quilted jacket is a more streamlined version of a puffer coat and features a collarless neckline with an oversized trapeze silhouette. Ideal for layering, it’s lightly padded meaning it provides warmth during the cooler months but is thin enough to still wear as the weather starts to warm up. Coming in stylish shades of army green, black and ivory, it’s no wonder this universally flattering coat has become the go-to outerwear option for anyone with their finger on the fashion pulse.
Lindex quilted jacket: £49.99, Lindex.com
This might be the most similar high street pick we’ve seen. The design is very reminiscent of the OG style, with the same boxy silhouette, a contrasting dark green trim and a curved hemline. What it’s lacking in pockets, it makes up for in the fact it’s a great affordable dupe.
Per Una padded collarless puffer jacket: £55, Marksandspencer.com
This jacket from M&S features a boxy fit and comes lightly padded to help lock in warmth during the cooler months. Just like The Frankie Shop’s version, it’s collarless, meaning it would look great paired with a turtleneck jumper, and has a number of stylish finishing touches, such as a dipped hem, two front pockets and popper fastenings. Owing to its popularity, M&S has recently launched the jacket in two new colours – lilac and azure blue.
Daisy Street oversized quilted coat in khaki: £38, Asos.com
A slightly darker green than The Frankie Shop’s version, this looks like it’ll be the perfect coat to throw on over a thick jumper during a particularly cold spell. It’s got a nice oversized fit and a collarless design, much like the fashion label’s more costly alternative.
Mango satin quilted jacket: £59.99, Mango.com
If you’re after something in a spring colourway, Mango’s version of the jacket in purple has a satin finish that’s water-repellent, making it a great option for the unpredictable weather autumn can bring. It has a quilted pattern, button fastening, patch pockets and collarless design and is part of Mango’s “committed collection”, which means it has been produced using sustainable fibres or processes. This design is also available in green (£59.99, Asos.com).
Asos Design quilted cropped jacket in khaki: £26.60, Asos.com
If you like the padded style of The Frankie Shop’s jacket but prefer your coats to come with a collar, consider this version from Asos. Available in a soft khaki shade, it has a boxy fit and a cropped length, with oversized lapels that promise to keep your neck warm on cold days.
New Look khaki quilted high neck belted midi coat: £29.99, Newlook.com
Should you be after something that’s a nod to the high fashion jacket but is a little longer, this one featured in our review of the best women’s winter coats. It has a “decent mid-length, but what we liked most about it was the high neck, which will keep the chill out when the temperature drops”, noted our writer.
Cos quilted jacket: £99, Cosstores.com
If neutrals are more your thing, this version from Cos could be the one for you. Made from recycled polyester, it comes in either a creamy off-white or black hue, and has a relaxed fit with a ribbed collar, two pockets on the front and a curved hem.
New Look khaki quilted zip jacket: £33.99, Newlook.com
At £33.99, New Look’s quilted jacket is a fraction of the price of The Frankie Shop’s version and looks just as stylish. Designed with a curved, quilted motif, it has a ribbed trim at the collar and cuffs, two large front pockets and, unlike most other versions in this round-up, a zip fastening. Wear yours with everything from jeans and T-shirts to tailored trousers and roll-neck knits.
