A good down jacket should first start with its down material selection: down generally refers to the down sources such as duck down, goose down, wild duck down and velvet, which can be roughly divided into white or gray in color. The reason why down keeps warm is that there are countless tiny pores between down fibers, containing a large amount of still air. It relaxes and relaxes in motion, making down full of elasticity. It is the best natural material for antifreeze and cold preservation.
The quality of down jackets with certain brand awareness is generally good, but at the same time, because these brands are relatively easy to sell, there are many imitation goods. In addition to checking the anti-counterfeiting logo, how should we identify the authenticity of down jackets?
Identification skill 1: check product identification
Clothing product identification must comply with the standards and shall include the following contents: Manufacturer’s name and address, product name, trademark, specification and model, composition and content of raw materials, washing method, standard number of products, product quality grade and product quality inspection certificate. For down clothing, the down content of filler, down type, gray and white color, down filling amount, etc. should be indicated. If the identification of a down clothing is incomplete and there are many missing items, attention should be paid.
Identification skill 2: look at the color, style and whether it is bulging.
If the down products are not only puffy, but also fluffy, it means that the down processing products with good quality and exquisite workmanship should have fine and neat stitches, and the process of inlaying, embedding and rolling should be straight and stretch without distortion and unevenness. The fabric shall meet the requirements of non drilling pile and have good air permeability.
Identification skill 3: touch.
The lint content is high, giving people a feeling of softness, and there are few and small hair stems. If there are many hair stalks and they are hard and loose, it means that the quality is poor.
Please note that some customers think that the softer the handle is, the better, and the less the hair is, the better. In fact, it is not, because the down always contains a certain proportion of wool pieces (commonly known as wool stalk) more or less. If there is no wool stalk at all, we should consider whether it is a fake.
In addition, fake down jackets often have a layer of down on the part close to the fabric, and the part pasted inside is acrylic cotton. When buying, touch it carefully with your hand. If the internal and external feel is not the same (one side is hard and the other side is very soft), it may be a fake.
Identification skill 4: pinch.
Down has great shrinkage. The higher the down content, the greater the shrinkage. A down jacket can be shrunk to the size of a briefcase, and a down quilt can be shrunk to the size of a pillow.
Identification skill 5: rub.
Put your thumb and index finger on both sides of the down products and gently twist them. You will feel thinner and thinner, but it is difficult to rub all the down, which is a sign of good quality. If you can rub it all at once and touch two layers of cloth inside and outside, it means that the pile content is low. If you feel that a thick layer cannot be rubbed, it is likely to be chemical fiber cotton.
Identification skill 6: beat.
Place the down products flat on the table, gently pat out the air inside, and observe its recovery. Those with high cashmere content have good elasticity and will be fluffy soon. On the contrary, there is dust and fluff drilling out when patting. It takes a long time to drum up or a little. This situation shows that it is inferior.
Identification skill 7: smell.
Down without complex process treatment and strict water washing and disinfection will produce unpleasant smell and bacteria, which may lead to various diseases. On the contrary, it is tasteless“ The filler has low cleanliness and high energy consumption index. It is suitable for microbial survival and is certainly harmful to human body. ”
Identification skill 8: weigh.
Down products with high down content are light, and those with heavy down content may have low down content. Therefore, when shopping, you can weigh the weight by hand, and you can also distinguish the quality. Finally, try. Try on the down jacket. It only takes about two minutes to wear the down jacket with good quality, and you can obviously feel warm. The down jacket with poor quality lasts longer.
