I changed 3 down jackets to understand the lesson of "4 noes" for down jackets and spending tens of thousands of yuan to buy
As the weather gets colder, pedestrians on the street generally wear a variety of thick clothes, and a closer look reveals that most of them wear down jackets.
In recent winters, everyone will choose to buy down jackets instead of buying cotton clothes, although the ** of down jackets is much higher than that of ordinary cotton clothesBut everyone will pay for it because it has a lot of advantages with a down jacket.
Because of this, in order to cater to the needs of consumers, a large number of various down jackets have appeared, and the quality of these clothes is uneven, and the amount of down and the quality of the down inside are not the same.
In the face of this variety of down jackets, consumers can be said to be dazzled, so which ones to buy when choosing down jackets?What should I pay attention to?
In fact, when down jackets are not popular in the market, everyone's first choice is cotton clothing, cotton also has a good warm and cold effect, after wearing it for a long timeThe more often you wash it, the less warm the padded garment will become.
This is because cotton fibers harden when exposed to water and detergents, making it difficult to generate heat to protect against the cold air outside. In the colder northeast, mink is more popular there.
But there are also some disadvantages, such as: mink is more difficult to care for, and it is not easy to clean, and the locals generally do not wash it, but choose to take it in the snow when it snows, and use the snow to make the mink cleaner.
Later, a kind of winter warm clothes called down jackets were circulated in the market, but when the down jacket first appeared on the market, the style was relatively single, and because of the more filling amount of down, it was more bloated on the body, so only a few people bought it.
However, as the number of down jackets on the market increased, they began to develop in the direction of fashion while keeping warm, and people began to try this kind of clothes that replaced cotton with duck and goose fluff.
One of the most attractive points is that down jackets are lighter and warmer to wear, but the price will be more expensive than traditional cotton clothes.
It is precisely because of everyone's enthusiasm for down that some traders smell business opportunities, so some shoddy down jackets flow to the market to attract everyone to buy them with a lower **.
In fact, the so-called down jackets they sell are not what you call them down jacketsBecause their clothes are filled with some velvet.
What is Velvet?The official saying is actually called "crushing**", which means that the manufacturer puts the feather ** with down heel into the silk punching machine to crush, and then purifies it according to the fluffiness required by the customer, and finally fills it into the down jacket after washing.
And wearing a down jacket filled with velvet is harmfulThe down silk used by merchants is generally not properly sterilized and cleaned, and some of them are mixed with impurities and have an unpleasant smell.
Moreover, in order to reduce the process, the quality of the stitches of some down jackets is not qualified, which will cause the velvet to float out of these gaps, and once it is sucked into the body, the harm is great.
In addition, although the down jacket made of velvet is very fluffy when it first leaves the factory, it also reaches the standard of fluffiness, but after washing, the fluffiness of the velvet will be reduced, and if you wash it several times, you can't wear it.
Therefore, consumers are reminded that when buying down jackets, they need to keep their eyes open and choose carefully.
Do not buy if the information on the washing label is ambiguous
Many people are afraid of stepping on the thunder of the down jacket bought for hundreds of dollars, in fact, looking at the washing label to buy it to avoid 80% of the risk, the washing label is innate, and it is written that the new national standard stipulates the content of the velvet, which cannot be faked.
Velvet is more fluffy, fluffy, more warm, before the washing label is generally marked with "velvet content" rather than "velvet content", which gives some manufacturers an opportunity to adulterate, but now, only the velvet content reaches 50% to reach the qualified.
However, it is still recommended that you buy a down jacket with a down content of more than 85, which is more secure and warmer.
"Do not pursue imported luxury big-brand down products".
Why don't you have to chase after imported luxury down products?To sum up, there are two reasons, one is that the goods are basically not real, and the other is that the real goods are not necessarily good.
Down is alive, and after leaving the mother, it decays all the time because its essence is protein. When down is stripped from the animal, it exists in three forms.
The first is "fresh hair", that is, the feathers slaughtered on the same day are pulled to the nearest large-scale wool washing factory for processing. The second is the "frozen block", that is, the feathers slaughtered on the same day are bagged and frozen, and sent to a large washing factory for processing.
These two forms are generally used by large-scale slaughterhouses, and the third is "dry hair", that is, the feathers obtained from the slaughter on the same day are simply cleaned and disinfected and then dried and bagged for storage.
A small number of large slaughterhouses also dry their feathers and store them for saleThe vast majority of farmers' raw wool is dry wool;All imported feathers are dry hairsIt is also a raw material wool that needs to be further processed.
Immediate processing of fresh hair, as well as freezing block processing, minimises the natural spoilage of the feathers and thus maintains the performance of the down, while the dry hairs have already damaged the down once during the drying stage, as the high temperature will cause the down to break off.
Dry hair is stored at room temperature before further processing, and in the process the down also decays at a slow rate, causing the down to break and the quality of the down to deteriorate.
The down removed from the body of a Polish goose is dried and quietly left in the warehouse, waiting for the Oriental merchants to buy it, which can be long or short.
It had come to China by sea for months, and the years had scarred it. When it arrives in China, its performance is not as good as a fresh down freshly picked from a domestic rural goose.
Therefore, there is no need to discriminate against domestic goose down products, and there is no need to pursue imported down products, because they are not worth it.
"Try not to buy it when you are on a clearance discount".
The down of the down jackets we wear is produced in the slaughterhouse, and the ducks and geese are slaughtered after a few days, and the down from them is removed, and then processed to make clothes for us.
This series of complicated procedures, this down jacket made to circulate on the market, its ** is destined to not be cheap, so if you see a down jacket in the mall or store with a discounted price of "99 yuan", "139 yuan" and "199 yuan".Don't buy cheaply, not to mention wasting money, you are most likely buying a down jacket made of velvet.
The fabric is not easy to clean, do not buy
You must have heard a saying that down jackets can't be washed often, and if you wash too much, they won't be warm, but this is actually true.
Therefore, when purchasing, try to choose a good cleaning down jacket fabric, so that even if it is dirty, you can also choose down jacket cleaning wipes to wipe, so as to reduce the number of cleaning, you can reduce washing, thereby increasing the service life of the down jacket, and the washed down jacket should also be dried in a ventilated place as much as possible, to avoid exposure to the sun, resulting in the aging of down, and the cleaned down jacket should remember not to fold it repeatedly, only need to cover it with a dust bag and hang it in the wardrobe.
In this harsh winter, we all want to buy a good down jacket to survive the winter, but sometimes we will be distracted by some small details and buy clothes that are not so satisfactory.
And some merchants are also betting that we will not buy a down jacket, and when we go home, we will cut it open and check what kind of down is filled inside, so we will make some shoddy clothes and mix them into the market.
In the face of such a situation, we must learn more about how to choose a down jacket, what we should really pay attention to when choosing, and not give those unscrupulous merchants a chance.
I also hope that everyone can buy a down jacket that they are satisfied with and can spend every winter warmly.
