Down Purchase Instructions

1. Fillers in stuffing down jackets, the most common of which are goose downs and duck downs, are classified in terms of color and can be divided into white velvet and gray velvet. Down jackets available in the market are sorted by: White goose down> Grey goose down> White duck down> Grey duck down. It may be affected by the ranking of selling prices, and many people therefore think that the quality of these velvet is also such an order, it is not true. Through the theoretical research and actual experience of the down, I think the quality of color and down jacket is not much related to the quality, goose down and duck down warmth, fluffy degree, etc. is not much difference.

As to why the white cashmere is more expensive, I think the main reason is because the white cashmere looks better than the gray ones. No matter whether it is in light or dark fabrics, it is not translucent. The gray cashmere is more picky. Only down jackets can be placed. Dark fabric. Taking into account the light white color, a wider range of suitable fabrics. The second reason: the reason for the fiber structure of white velvet. Its fibrous tissue is relatively thin, soft, long, and long fibers make it more bulky and easier to keep warm.

Generally speaking, larger, more mature birds have better fluff quality, so the goose's fluff is better. However, the production process of goose down and duck down is the same. There is not much difference in quality, fluffiness and warmth between the two. The most important reason why goose down is more expensive than duck down is that the author thinks that the output of goose down is far lower than that of duck down - goose down can only produce one season a year, and duck down can produce up to three seasons in one year.

2, feather down jacket contains fluff and feathers.

Fluff is a feather that does not contain feather stems between the neck and chest and abdomen of goose ducks and other waterfowl. Since the hair of this part is often immersed in water, it not only has a certain degree of water resistance, but also has the ability to keep warm and resist cold. The best. In addition, because the fluff of this area is not feathered, it is very soft, the fiber is long and the fluffy is high, and the folded volume is smaller. It is the best material for making down jacket.

The feather in the down coat refers to the hair in other parts of the body except for the above-mentioned fluff, generally in the shape of a sheet, with a feather stem in the middle. The warmth of the feathers is relatively limited and there is no good fluff.

3. Cashmere content The amount of cashmere is the percentage of all fillers that are filled with fluff. For example, if a down jacket is purchased, and the filling is 90% white duck down and 10% white feathers, it means that the amount of cashmere contained in this garment is 90%. It is a down jacket with higher specifications.

When you decide to buy a down jacket, you must first look at the product label on your collar. If you have less than 50% cashmere, you must pay attention to it. It does not meet the national minimum standards.

4, everyone must pay attention to filling the amount of cashmere, stuffing amount of this stuff and cashmere content is not the same, containing cashmere count is a percentage, and filling the amount of cashmere is filled with the actual feather + velvet content grams, It is related to the size, length, style and other factors of the clothes.

The amount of down-filled down clothing I just bought was called 22, which is 100 grams. Some friends like to buy down jackets when they like to buy a large amount of filling, feel that such a thicker will be more warm, but you must not underestimate the amount of cashmere, because the warmth of the cashmere itself is very large, 80% of the amount of cashmere than 75% warmer.

5. Bulkiness Bulkiness is an important measure of the degree of feather warmth in the world. It refers to the value of volume cubic inches of down per ounce (30 grams) under certain conditions. For example, if an ounce of down space occupies 600 cubic inches, then the duvet has a loftiness of 600. In general, plump and mature birds have high dullness in their feathers. Conversely, small birds have low bulkiness.

But what is the use of fluffiness? There is a saying that the amount of velvet and cashmere represents the "quantity" of cashmere, and the degree of fluffiness determines the "quality" of cashmere. In the case where the amount of lining is comparable, the higher the number of padded, the better the warming function. Because of the higher loftiness, more insulation air is contained in the down, and the insulation performance is therefore better.

Down jackets of general price, the bulkiness is between 450-500. The down jackets with slightly higher prices can reach 600-900 fluffiness.

From the point of view of internationally better down jackets (most of which are designed for outdoor sports), down jackets with a high number of awnings are generally not high in filling volume. Such specifications are generally used as a middle layer in the interior and are convenient for outdoor sports. Compression carried. In outdoor sports, as a warm outer wear, the amount of filling is usually high and the number of canopies is low, between 650-750.

But if it is used for everyday wear, we believe that the number of canopy is enough for 450-500, and the higher the amount of warming for the warming needs to be higher.
