It is favored by consumers for its characteristics of light, comfort, warmth, moisture absorption and good dispersion. It is the best product for consumers to wear, regardless of whether men, women, old or young.

According to the material quality of the filling material, the down garment is divided into eiderdown and goose down clothes. The eider can also be divided into white eiderdown suits and gray duck's clothes, and goose down clothes are also divided into white goose down clothes and gray goose down clothes. Generally speaking, White Velvet clothing is better than gray velvet clothing and goose down suits are better than eiderdown suits.

　 Industry profile

At present, China is the largest producer and exporter of down garments in the world. The export of feather and down materials accounts for more than 70% of the world's down market. The down garments have accounted for more than 60% of the world's total. The production areas are mainly distributed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Fujian, Shandong and other places.

The data show that although the development of domestic down garment industry is only 20 years old, the market is developing very fast. The annual output of down garments is over 100 million, and there are more than 1000 enterprises. Some enterprises began to develop branding in order to adapt to the market changes. They are not only well-known in the domestic market but also have a place in the international market.

In recent years, due to the appearance of warm winter and the comfort of various places of activity, keeping out the cold is no longer the sole purpose of wearing down clothes. From the point of view of production technology, today's down jacket has been able to be light and warm. Some companies are no longer down garments, but down fashions. The era of fashion and leisure for down coats has arrived. In addition, the sports down jacket will also be popular in the market; personalized down clothing has also emerged, such as couples down clothing, mother and child down jacket, and anti-theft down clothing and digital companion function down clothing, etc., all have the prototype of digital clothing.

With the rapid and steady growth of consumption level, the rising cost of down garments in recent years, the popularity of green, ecological, light and fashionable styles, and the new channel of electricity supplier channels have brought new opportunities and challenges to the down garment industry. At present, the down garment market has the following five characteristics: first, the market competition is more standardized; the two is that the enterprises pay more attention to the construction of the terminal market; the three is the obvious trend of direct management in key areas; four, the fashion, leisure and personalization of down garments are becoming more and more obvious, and the ability to update and replace products is further improved; five, the diversification of products and the trend of serialization are obvious; six is the development of high-end products. With some famous international brands entering the down garment market, its brand influence is directly transmitted to its down garment products, and has attracted a number of middle and high-end consumer groups. The emergence of high-end and high price down garments has become the focus of attention of the industry. Some large down garment enterprises in China are also beginning to move towards the high-end market, and strive to improve the added value of products, raise the selling price, avoid low price competition and irrational competition.

Common quality problems

China's mandatory national standard GB 18401 "national textile product basic safety technical specification" stipulates the basic safety requirements of pH value, formaldehyde, decomposable aromatic amine dyes, water fastness, sweat fastness and dry rubbing fastness. These projects have great impact on human health. During the past few years, the degree of attention has been greatly enhanced by the state's vigorous publicity and effective supervision. Therefore, there has not been any unqualified situation in the national supervision and spot checks of the down garment products quality in recent years. In recent years, there are often unqualified items in spot checks.

General performance index

　　 fibre The most common product quality problem found in the composition and content spot checks is that the fiber contents and contents of down jacket fabrics are not qualified, showing that the measured results of fiber content are not up to the standard or the difference is beyond the allowable range of the standard. It is mainly because the enterprises do not pay enough attention to the use instructions and labels, and can not inspect the raw materials or products in batches.

The amount of cashmere, filling and fluffiness of stuffing down is the mass percentage of velvet and cashmere in feather and down. The higher the bulkiness of the down garment, the higher the bulking degree and the better the warmth retention effect. Therefore, it is an important index for assessing the quality of down garment products. Consumers can understand the thermal insulation properties of down products through the amount of cashmere marked in the "instructions", and choose the type of products according to the amount of cashmere. In the spot checks, the unqualified performance of the item is that the actual amount of cashmere is lower than the marked value, which affects the thermal effect of the down garment.

The amount of filling is the total weight of the down garment. The amount of filling will also affect the degree of thermal insulation of the down jacket. According to the standard, the deviation between the filling amount and the indication value should not be less than -5%. In the spot checks, there are individual products with the deviation of filling quantity below the standard requirements.

The fluffiness of down is an important index that affects the elasticity, warmth and comfort of products. The higher the bulge is, the easier the eiderdown can be fixed under the same filling condition. Therefore, improving the bulkiness of feather filling is conducive to improving the wearing performance of down garments. In some samples, the fluffiness of some products did not meet the standard requirements, which affected the thermal effect of down garments.

　 National mandatory indicators

Product identification, down garment product identification should include the name, specification, product grade, implementation standard, fabric composition content, stuffing containing cashmere and filling, washing instructions, manufacturers and other information content. Spot checks found that some products were not strictly labeled in accordance with the standards, there were problems such as unstandard labeling and incomplete product identification. The main reason for the analysis was that the enterprises did not attach enough importance to the "use notes" of the products, so they did not correctly label them.

　　 Buying common sense

When choosing down garments, we should pay attention to the following items.

Identification checks whether the product identification is complete, whether the contents of internal and external labels are consistent, and whether the identification information meets their own needs.

Check the amount of cashmere and cashmere on the down label, which is directly related to the fluffiness and warmth of the down jacket. The down weight of the down garment is generally over 70%, which is the best, especially when the cashmere content is around 70%.

The resilience will press the fluffy down garment, then release quickly and restore the original shape, indicating that the fluffiness of the down is good. If there is a low content of wool and a certain amount of wool or crushed wool, the resilience will be poor, and the down jacket will feel heavy in the hand.

Anti drilling property Down Jackets The fabric and lining should have the performance of anti drilling. Take a picture and find that down clothing is definitely inferior. However, due to the smoothness of down, it is normal to have a small amount of fluff from the seam.

Breathable down clothing can not be duffed, but also has a certain degree of permeability, such as the fabric of the down jacket, lining, gallbladder permeability is poor, first, the water vapor in the process of clothing is not easy to distribute, it will cause humid and uncomfortable, not warm. Two, it is not easy to dry after washing. The above two factors will make the eiderdown deteriorate to varying degrees in the condition of damp.

The smell is closely related to the down garments, breathing deeply, smelling the smell inside, and avoiding buying the products that spoil the nose, but because the feather is animal feathers, it is normal to have a certain odor.

There is a lot of excipients on the down coat, such as zippers and metal buttons. When purchasing, check whether these accessories are beautiful, smooth and elastic.

　 Maintenance Tips

1. when washing down, the down coat should be soaked in clear water and washed with neutral detergent.

2. after drying, dry it first and then place it in the sun for 2 hours or so. Then hand down all parts of the down coat evenly, and then dry it for 1 hours. This will make the down jacket basically restore its original state and warmth retention function.

　　 Alpaca wool

　　 Alpaca wool Also known as alpaca. It is a mixture of coarse and fine wool. It belongs to camel hair fiber. It is thinner and softer than Ma Haimao. Its color is white, brown, yellowish brown or black, and its strength and warmth retention are far higher than wool. Al Pekka Mao is the most important kind of alpaca wool. Its hair is soft and its length is long. It has white, gray, black and brown. Its luster lies between Ma Haimao and camel hair. It is a mixed wool type. The villi fineness is about 15 m to 20 m, and its bristles are thick and few. The unvillous length of villi is 8cm to 12cm, and the length of bristles is 30cm.
