Data show that in October 2012, my country's down jacket production reached 34,547,000 pieces, an increase of 21.61% over the same period; from January to October, my country's cumulative production of down jackets reached 22,617.8 million pieces, a cumulative increase of 13.25% over the same period.

Down generally refers to duck down, goose down, wild duck down, velvet and other down sources. It can be roughly divided into two categories: white or gray in terms of color. The reason why down keeps you warm is because there are countless tiny pores between the down fibers, which contain a large amount of still air. They relax during movement, making the down full of elasticity. It is the best natural material to prevent freezing, cold and warmth.

The quality of down jackets with certain brand recognition is generally better, but at the same time, because these brands are relatively easy to sell, there are many imitations. In addition to checking the anti-counterfeiting labels, how should we identify the authenticity of down jackets? What about fake?

Tip 1: Check product labels

Clothing product labels must comply with standards and should include the following: manufacturer’s name and address, product name, trademark, specifications and models, raw materials used Ingredients and contents, washing methods, product execution standard number, product quality grade and product quality inspection certificate. For down clothing, the down content of the filling down, the type of down, gray and white color, down filling amount, etc. should be marked. If the labeling of a down jacket is incomplete and there are many missing items, attention should be paid.

Tip 2: Pay attention to the color, style and whether it is bulging.

If the down products are not only inflated, but also very fluffy, it means that the quality of the down products is good and the workmanship of the down products should be fine and neat. Twisted and uneven. The fabric should meet the requirements of no velvet and should have good breathability.

Tip 3: Touch.

The velvet content is high, giving people a soft feeling, and the hair stems are few and small. If there are many hairy stems and it feels hard and loose, it means the quality is poor.

Please note that some customers think that the softer the hand, the better, and the fewer hairy stems, the better. In fact, this is not the case, because down always contains a certain proportion of ** (commonly known as wool). If it feels like there is no hair at all, you should consider whether it is a fake.

In addition, fake down jackets often have a layer of down on the fabric, and acrylic cotton on the lining. When buying, touch it carefully with your hands. If the inside and outside feel different (touch out the fur on one side) If it is hard and the other side is very soft) it may be a fake.

Tip 4: pinch.

Down has great shrinkage, and the higher the down content, the greater the shrinkage. A down jacket can be reduced to the size of a briefcase, and a down quilt can be reduced to the size of a pillow.

Tip 5: Rub.

Put your thumb and index finger on both sides of the down product and gently twist it. It will feel thinner and thinner, but it is difficult to rub all the down. This is a sign of good quality. If it can be completely rubbed open at once and the inner and outer layers of cloth can be touched, it means that the velvet content is low. If it feels like there is a thick layer that cannot be rubbed open, it is probably chemical fiber cotton.

Tip 6: Shoot.

Put the down product flat on the table, gently tap out the air inside, and observe its recovery. Those with high velvet content have good elasticity and will fluff up quickly. On the contrary, there will be dust and lint when patting. If it takes a long time to bulge or bulge slightly, it means it is a poor quality product.

Tip 7: Sniff.

Down that has not undergone complex processing and strict washing and disinfection will produce an unpleasant smell and contain germs, which may cause various diseases. On the contrary, it will be odorless. "The filling has low cleanliness, high energy consumption index, is suitable for the survival of microorganisms, and is definitely harmful to the human body."

Tip 8: Weigh.

Down products with high velvet content may be light, while those with heavy down content may have low velvet content. Therefore, when purchasing, you can also judge the quality by weighing it with your hands. Finally tried. Try putting on a down jacket. A good-quality down jacket only takes about two minutes to feel warm, while a poor-quality down jacket will take longer.
