Legality of company making its employees buy required uniforms

I work for (insert seasonal downtown Chicago company here) and they require their employees to wear jackets with their logo on it and these cost $150. What I’m wondering is: is it legal for a company to force its employees to either buy a jacket from One specific retailer that will put the logo on it or just freeze outside in their normal uniforms? (We also have to buy our normal uniforms) This company also is an “at will employment” company (employees can quit anytime without notice and the company can also terminate anyone for any reason with no notice) not sure if that makes any difference. Thanks so much for your help!
