How to Choose a High-quality Down Jacket 

1. The warmth retention proporty of a down jacket is determined by the fluffiess and the amount of the down inside to certain extent.  The quality of down and its processing technique are also critical. Good down material’s product process includes the procedures of down classifying, heating, degerming, deodorization and washing.  For measurement, normally there are China national standards, European standards and Japan standards for measuring the quality of down products.  It needs professional inspection to get the value of the indicators of these standards, however, we still can judge the down jacket’s quality from the following intuitive aspects: 

 (1) The resilience of down:  Some down suits can not restore to the original shape, which indicates that the fluffiness of down is poor.  The reason is cause by the low down content, or a certain amount of fur or crushed hair mixture inside. 

 (2) The smell of down: Some down coats have not been processed with quailified techque in a standard way, that could result in spoiled smell.

2. Another important indicator for down jacket is to see whether the down drill out or not.  It depends on the textile of the jacket and the processing technology. Down drill-out is easily caused by too thick or too thin stitch gaps. 

3. Air permeability of down jacket: If the air permeability of down jacket's textile is poor, on the one hand the water vapor would not be easy to emit, and on the other hand, it is not easy to be dried after washing. The above two factors will make down deteriorated in damp conditions and emit odor. 

4.To check the qulity of accessories of down jackets:  For example, you could check whether the zipper is thick, the teeth of zipper are smooth or not. High-quality down jackets would generally use the branded zippers to ensure the quality of clothing.  When designing a good down jacket, each accessory has been carefully selected and used by the designer.

5. The processing details of down suits. The fine down jacket detail is usually handled very well, the stitch line is smooth and straight, which could prevent from down drill-out.  Superior-quality suits has well-processed seaming and buttonhole, and these details have requirements for the equipment and workers technique.

6. The tailoring of down suits determines the comfort and neatness while wearing.  You can observe if the proportion of body and sleeve is reasonable, and if the lining fabric is flat.
