A quality down jacket requires quality in many aspects of the garment. We choose a good down jacket, the first thing to pay attention to is the quality of its down:

The treatment process of down is also critical. Good down needs to be sorted, high temperature, antibacterial, deodorized and washed. There are national standard, European standard and Japanese standard to judge the quality of down. These indicators are professional and need professional inspection. The intuitive judgment can be felt from the following aspects:
(1) The resilience of down, some down jacket bounce back is poor, can not be restored to the original state, indicating that the filling power is poor, this is because the percentage of down is low, mixed with a certain amount of fur or crushed hair.

Quality down jackets generally choose brand zippers to ensure the quality of the clothing. Good down jacket in the design, every element has been carefully selected by the designer, careful use.
5. Look at the production process and details of the down jacket.

Good quality clothes, stitching and buttonhole technology are also well made, these processes have certain requirements for clothing equipment and staff skills.
