How to save $400 on a sheepskin coat from Ikea

Painted sheepskin coats can be a hit with shoppers looking for an affordable alternative to wool coats that have been known to be hard to find.

But even if you have a few bucks to spare, how much would you spend? 

In the US, wool coats average $6.99 at Home Depot, $7.99 from Walmart, $8.99 on Target, $10.99 in Best Buy, $11.99 or more at Lowe’s, or $12.99 online at Nordstrom.

That’s according to an investor analysis of more than 1,000 coats sold at retailers. 

If you’re a big fan of wool coats, this is one you should check out before you buy a new one. 

According to the analysis, wool coat sales increased 6.2% during the holiday season, compared to last year’s 9.6%.

Wool coats were up nearly 22% in February compared to March, while sales of other materials rose 2.8%.
