Matalan is selling a new coat that could easily be mistaken for one by outdoor clothing brand The North Face. The retailer is well known for it's affordable fashion - and now it might have a new fan favourite. The high street store is selling the cream Padded Fleece Coat , which looks very similar to North Face's Retro Denali Jacket but for a fraction of the cost.
The two feature almost identical fleece linings and a water-resistant outer shell. They also have an almost identical colour block design and zip front. However, the North Face jacket has different pockets at the front.
