How To Distinguish True Down Feather From Inside Exposure Of Down Cashmere Products

One winter, Down Jackets The market is booming. Many readers reflect: this year, the price of down garments in supermarkets is obviously expensive. Thousands of yuan are very common. As a result, many people "fight" to net goods. But the same price of a down product, hundreds of yuan to several thousand yuan, makes people dizzy.

Everyone knows that cheap down coats may be counterfeit. But what can be "fake" like this? What kind of tricky stuff are there? How much money have been made by those low-priced down coats?

Market visit

Thousands of dollars in a down jacket are common.

Reporters saw that Nanjing The large shopping malls and supermarket counters are full of all kinds of down coats, no matter long and short, they are very strong in design. However, looking up and looking up, I found that the price tag was a bit boring. For example, Bosideng, Yalu and other famous brands of down coats, the average selling price is around eight hundred or nine hundred yuan; not to mention some fashionable, high-end. White duck down The price of white goose down is even several thousand yuan.

During the interview, a Nanjing citizen wearing a down jacket felt that the price of the down jacket was much higher this year.

"Actually, the price has increased since last year. The price of last year's price is at least 10% higher than that of the previous year, and this year's price has naturally increased. In a brand down clothing store, a sales lady who has been selling clothes for 5 years has told reporters that the biggest reason for the price increase is the increase of raw material costs.

　 Big difference in online stores

Cheap hundreds of expensive thousands

Since the down coats in the shopping mall are so expensive, can it be cheaper in the shops?

Yesterday, reporters entered Taobao on the "feather quilt goose down" several words, more than 10000 related information jumped out. Take the goose down quilt as an example, the reporter chose according to the condition of "2 meters long and wide". The price of the cheapest goose down was only 200 yuan, and the merchants also promised to clear the warehouse, while the expensive goose feather quilt was priced at over 5000 yuan.

Subsequently, the reporter opened the sale of more than 200 yuan goose quilt business, so that some of the unexpected is that the buyer's evaluation is pretty good, but some people have proposed that the quilt is heavier than the impression of the feather quilt, but the warm effect is OK, absolutely worthy of the price of the quilt.

And when reporters click on the sale of some 1000 yuan down the net shop, how to distinguish fake goods has become a noticeable reminder in these shops. Even a shop owner promised to pay 10 thousand yuan in cash as long as the feather and the description of the goods did not match.

On the other side, there are more than two hundred yuan in the sale of feather quilt, but on the other side is thousands of yuan per bed quilt - each has its selling points, what is the matter? {page_break}

　 Industry secret

More than 100 yuan of eiderdown is considered "good".

Five or six yuan "flying silk" when the goose down is pit father?

The so-called "down jacket" and "down quilt" may be false. Many consumers may have such an impression. But where is the "cat's mouth"? Most people do not understand it at all. In order to uncover the inside of feather and down products, the reporter managed to get in touch with a senior seller. The Taobao's high reputation snow Valley home textile dispenser disclosed the chaos of the down market.

　　 Eiderdown as a goose feather

Eiderdown 170 yuan a Jin, white goose down 380 yuan a Jin.

"Normally, the price of goose down material is at least two times that of eiderdown, but the price of some goose down quilt on the market is even equal to that of eiderdown." In this industry, the only way to do this without losing money is to "shoddy". "I can say for sure that the same size of goose down can not be sold to the price of the eiderdown quilt, and the seller will certainly not lose money." The shopkeeper counted the accounts for reporters. He said that 95% of white eiderdown is only 170 yuan / Jin, and 95% white goose price is at least 380 yuan / Jin - this price is all public, as long as the professional raw material sales website check it at a glance.

Take a 200 * 230 cm goose down quilt as an example, the cost of filling 3 pounds of goose down is: 3 Jin / 380 yuan / Jin =1140 yuan, plus 230 yuan for the quilt, then the total price should be 1370 yuan, and finally add a packing fee 30 yuan. Below this price, how can businessmen make money? But if you fill them with duck's feather, if you sell 3 yuan, 170 yuan / Jin =510 yuan, and sell seven hundred or eight hundred yuan, it will be profitable.

　　 Flying silk impersonate goose down

Flying silk is five or six yuan a kilogram. When the goose down is sold, it is too profitable.

In the eyes of this industry, it is not too much to eiderdown eiderdown with duck's feather.

He said, generally, there are three kinds of velvet in a down product, that is, velvet: a feather with short stalks and many short fuzz at the same time, a bit like sorghum spikes, usually collected from the anterior chest of a duck or goose. The real feather is this; one is the broken wool, broken by the long feather with thick stalks on the wings of the duck or goose, and the other is called flying silk, which is the sessile short fur produced by the short hair from the stem during the processing of the top two kinds of cashmere.

"The price of flying silk per catty is five or six yuan, and the quality of the feather products filled with this material can be imagined." The industry said that there are many sellers who sell low down products on the Internet. In fact, they use flying silk to fill goose down, which is difficult for consumers to find. Because although some businesses keep a small "detection window" on their products, they are filled with good cashmere, and other places you can't see are actually "trash."

And flying silk can be understood as "leftovers", and its warmth retention is not even better than that of cotton wool.

　　 Wool blended as cashmere

Less than a few thousand yuan, "cashmere sweater" is unlikely to be true.

Compared with goose down duck down, the more expensive cashmere "cat" is more. Because it is rare, cashmere is known as "soft gold" and "fiber jewel". Now a ton of cashmere can be sold for about 1000000 yuan, and thousands of dollars can be sold in cashmere sweaters with hundreds of cashmere cashmere sweaters. Counterfeit cashmere has a variety of alternatives.

A manager of a wool mill in Guangdong said that as long as the wool blended yarn with cashmere content of 3%-5% could be made, the sweater knitted would have the texture of cashmere sweater. The wool cashmere is six hundred or seven hundred yuan per kilogram, and this blended yarn is only 100 yuan per kilogram.

A woolen product company in Hebei introduced mercerizing technology. After this process, wool can be cashmere like handle and silk luster. Business manager said, can provide two kinds of "mercerized cashmere", one is called "mercerized real 37", the ingredients are 30% wool and 70% acrylic, 65 yuan / kg; one is called "mercerized fake 37", the composition is 100% acrylic, 40 yuan / kg. If you want to make it cheaper, you can also use 100% worsted acrylic, as long as 30 yuan / kg.

And one recommended lamb. Although the national standard stipulates that only cashmere can be called cashmere, there are also products called cashmere in the industry. The business representative said that the cashmere was made of 85% sheep wool and 15% nylon blended yarn, 100 yuan / kg. {page_break}

　　 Latest regulations

Dozens of dollars per catty of silk can not be counted in the "velvet content".

Many down products have the word "cashmere content". But the latest statement is that the formulation of "cashmere content" is not accurate, the new national standard has been removed, and the concept of "velvet content" is newly proposed.

What is the meaning of this? Insiders told reporters that for example, 95% of the cashmere content should be 90%, velvet 5%, plus 3% error. In the old national standard, no matter how much the velvet yarn is, the amount of cashmere is counted, but the cost of the silk is only tens of yuan per Jin, so the change of this regulation is good for the consumers.

For the difference between goose down products and eiderdown products, the person said that besides microscopic observation, they could also use "smell": ducks are fond of insects in water, so there is generally a smell of smell in eiderdown. Geese are herbivores, so there is no smell problem in the goose itself. Consumers can also identify it from this point.

　 Experts say this: "goose down duck down" is hard to distinguish from the naked eye.

A textile inspecting staff told reporters that in their previous detection of down products, the main problems were the fact that manufacturers used inferior materials to impersonate feather raw materials, the amount of flush and flush of the logo was not up to standard, and the degree of down cleaning was not qualified.

Among them, the use of eiderdown in goose down products often occurs.

According to the introduction, the feather and down inspection is based on the "feather feather standard sample (sample photo)" issued by the national standards committee two years ago, which is the complete set of the feather and feather standard.

The reporter has learned that the standard samples of feather and feather (sample photo) provide detailed basis for sensory detection of feather and down, especially for the identification of duck eiderdown: the plush of duck plush is larger, and it is arranged in three groups, arranged regularly in Oha Ematsumoto, and the distance between the prismatic joints is shorter, which is approximately equal to the length of the prismatic joint.

This explanation may be somewhat puzzling to the general public, but to the quality inspection department, it is the basis for judging whether it is eiderdown or goose down. According to the above contents, we can make a judgement.

The experts told us that in fact, there is no obvious difference between the goose down and duck feather, goose feather, duck feather and chicken feather from the appearance, but the goose down has the best effect on the thermal performance, and the price is also very high.

　 Experts say: the more fluffy, the warmer it is.

The experts also summed up a few mistakes for consumers to buy down coats, and taught everyone how to pick warm down products.

Myth 1: the higher the amount of cashmere, the better.

According to the national standard of down garments, down garments must be marked with down feather, cashmere and cashmere. The percentage of cashmere and cashmere in the down feather is in accordance with the amount of cashmere. According to the regulations, the amount of cashmere can not be lower than that of the 50%. down clothing with the higher cashmere content, and the better the heat preservation effect is. However, experts say that the general consumer's choice of 70%~80% containing cashmere can meet the demand.

Myth two: the thicker the warmer.

The amount of filling is the total weight of all the eiderdown, which is related to the size, length and style of the clothes. The national standard does not impose a mandatory requirement on this index. But what needs to be reminded is that the more the filling, the heavier the clothes, the warmer the down jacket is. Improving the fluffiness of down filling is the key to improving warmth retention. The higher the bulkiness is, the more heat insulation the feather contains, so the better insulation performance.
