Experts Recommend Spring Festival Shopping &Nbsp; Distinguish The Quality Of Feather Fabric Accessories.

In December 30, 2010, the Consumer Association of Beijing informed 2010 of the results of the comparative test of down garments: through comparing the 54 test samples purchased from the market, it was found that only 36 samples met the national standard, accounting for 66.6% of the total samples. Among the remaining 18 unqualified samples, 5 samples filled with Down wool and stuffed down garments, and 13 samples had serious problems such as short weight and short weight, shoddy and false marks.

The pass rate of 66.6% means that 33.4% of the unqualified down garments are in circulation in the market.

In the absence of professional inspection equipment, how do ordinary people discriminate authenticity when purchasing? For this reason, Qu Fei, Secretary General of the China clothing association's down garment and products Specialized Committee, and some experts of the Beijing Consumer Association, participated in the "dissecting" of the fake and shoddy down garments on the day of the December 30, 2010 "comparative experimental results briefing".

Distinguish feather and feather

The most important performance of down jacket is keeping warm.

The quality of the down garment is determined by the quality of the stuffing and filling.

Feather and feather are two different concepts. Feather down is a small velvet flower that grows on the hairy roots of waterfowl animals such as ducks or geese, not feathers.

In order to reduce costs, some production operators use untreated feathers, crushed feathers or feather edges and scraps, leftovers and acrylic cotton as stuffing, or use inferior plumes to adulterate them, and adulterate them in good eiderdown so as to deceive customers.

Even if the stuffing is down, the quality is not the same.

For example, the low quality down products that are not treated with high temperature may contain bacteria. In the process of sterilization, if the technology is not strict, it may cause residual formaldehyde in the down.

If you fill these down into clothing, it will cause harm to human health. Wearing such a down garment is easy to cause skin, respiratory tract, intestinal diseases and other diseases.

Therefore, when choosing down clothing, the choice of down is the most important.

Generally speaking, consumers can adopt the method of "one click, two sniffing".

Press: make the down jacket relax and smooth, press it with your hands, then release it to see if the down jacket can recover quickly.

If the bullet does not rise or the springback is slow, it indicates that the filler is of poor quality, which may contain a certain amount of wool or powder fragments.

Wen: close to the down products with your nose, take deep breaths several times, and avoid buying those products with strong nose.

However, because feather is the feather of animals, it is normal to have certain odor.

100% the amount of cashmere is not credible.

The first thing to look for is whether there is a product quality label or not.

The standard quality label consists of three parts: the percentage of cashmere content, the weight and texture of the filler, and the name of the factory.

Specifically, it includes factory name, factory site, clothing color, production execution standard, filler and so on.

Product composition should also identify fabrics, linings, commodity codes, and even washing instructions.

But for the "down 100%" down jacket, Qu Fei warned everyone not to be trusted.

At present, the down garments sold in the market are generally more than 50%, and are filled with cotton, polyester and other fillings. The amount of cashmere is 80%, even if it is high, the content of 90% is top quality. It is almost impossible to have 100%.

More than 50% down garments, which contain cashmere, can meet the needs of consumers in most parts of China (except for some alpine regions).

In general, consumers are not aware of it. Therefore, some non-standard producers often use the method of "high standard down content" to deceive consumers.

In fact, the down jacket is not the higher the higher the amount of cashmere.

According to Qu Fei, consumers can decide how much products to be purchased according to their own wearing environment.

For example, consumers who live in Beijing can choose to buy 70%~80% down coats, which is the same as those of 80%~90%, which is of the same quality in alpine regions.

Not as soft as possible.

Some people feel that the softer the down garment feels, the better it can not touch a bit.

This is not the case.

Down is a natural thing, it has a certain specification, a certain limit of small hair stalks and hair pieces is very normal.

If it is all soft and soft, it may be that other fillers replace the eiderdown.

In addition, after beating down products, it is normal to have tiny velvet threads out of the needle holes.

So, how can we buy "soft and good" down jacket? Experts from the Beijing Consumer Association suggest that in the process of specific purchase, we can adopt the method of "pinch and weigh" by hand to determine whether the content of the filling is up to the quality requirements: if the soft feel is complete, the small piece is the authentic product; the weight of the down product is weighed by hand, while the size of the product is examined while the weight is lighter, the larger the volume is, the better product.

If the cashmere quality is poor and the cashmere content is less than 50%, it will feel heavy in the hands.

The three step is to buy good fabrics.

In addition to the quality of feather down, the quality of down jacket is not good, and the quality of fabrics is also the most critical part.

For ordinary people, no instrument, according to the "look, beat, rub" three steps, can also choose to buy cheap quality down jacket.

Look, look at the appearance and texture of the fabric first, then look at the thickness of the fabric.

At present, the down coats on sale in the market are mainly made of nylon, polyester cotton and polyester cotton blended fabrics, such as nylon fabric, which looks bright, smooth, even and fine, and the fabric is thin and dense.

As for what kind of down coats to buy, it also varies from person to person.

Generally speaking, the cotton velvet fabric has a waxy surface, strong heat resistance, but poor wear resistance. Nylon fabrics wear well and have good anti - fleece properties, but are afraid of blanching and drying.

In contrast, the polyester fabric with polyester ratio of more than 50% is better.

Pat, that is, vigorously beat down eiderdown clothes, see whether there is dust overflow, such as no dust or large fluff overflow, that is good fabric products.

Kneading, that is, rubbing down down clothing with both hands. If there is no small velvet silk drilled, it shows that the fabric is of high density and good quality. If Fluffy is drilled, it can be judged that the fabric used for clothing is not velvet resistant, and the texture is poor.

Try on the process to see accessories.

Try it on is a good way to check the overall effect of the down jacket and check the quality of accessories.

When you choose to buy down garments, you must try them on. When you understand the size and color, you must pay attention to the overall workmanship and the quality of accessories.

If seam density is suitable, too easy to wear and open line, too dense and easy to disable cloth, and affect the fluffy and warm degree; whether the sewn place is strong, whether there is a phenomenon of leaking, whether the down coat is flat or not, whether the lock or button is smooth, complete and smooth, and emphatically test its rebate effect. When the zipper is pulled up, there should be no natural slide phenomenon.

Qu Fei and other experts also remind consumers that the choice of down clothing is the best choice for reputable large stores, stores and other places. In the purchase, we should seriously carry out the above simple "manual screening" steps. After purchasing the down jacket, we must also pay attention to asking for and retaining good invoices and other purchase vouchers, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests when necessary.
