231204 00后整顿天价羽绒服，军大衣成抗冻新顶流
▍原文
With the price of down jackets increasing, college students in China have picked up floral cotton-padded jackets and military coats to fend off the winter cold.
Thanks to their low cost and high quality, cotton coats have made a major comeback this winter and stormed college campuses.
The general thinking among students is that it isn’t about whether or not they can afford a down jacket, but that cotton coats simply provide better quality at a much lower price.
