The Lining of Down Jacket

   Let’s talk about the composition of a heater for a down jacket. So, the word down should be written on the label of this down jacket. It means exactly down is inside - eider, swan, duck or goose. Chicken feathers in the manufacture of high-quality things almost never used: the chicken is a bird, but not waterfowl. Therefore, it has no heat saving properties, which is needed for people. I want to say that one hundred per cent down is very rare, because such clothes will be very expensive. If the word “cotton” is written on a label of belted jacket, it is not down one, and the usual cotton jacket: ordinary cotton wadding is stuffed into it for warmth. You can easily distinguish this jacket from the belted down jacket by weighing. Even if you do not have weights, then you realize immediately that have a fake in your hands: the weight of the original down should not exceed 1.1 lb and the weight of clothes, filled with wadding, will much more, of course. Inscription wool suggests that wool filler is within this jacket. This jacket even if it has belt, is not a down jacket. Eiderdown is warm, but also very expensive. In addition, you will feel discomfort in the subway and in the car because it is very warm. But such clothes are useful for the rest of town. Feathers of duck, goose and swan down, which are used in most down jackets, are the best choice. Another good advantage of down jackets is that fact you can wash it. Of course, you should not wash very often down jacket. However, the down jacket does not deteriorate with gentle washing at a temperature no higher than 30 degrees. Dry your belted jacket in factored form, and then it will not lose its shape. There are a few little secrets that will help you to wash the jacket:
1) put in the washing machine three tennis balls with jacket: they do not allow the down to turn into lumps;
2) you should wash such clothes at least three times for the first wash, because the chemical ingredients that are added to the down can leave stains on the fabric;
3) do not wash down jacket in hot water: 30 degrees is enough temperature.
