Product Information
Full details
The Karen Millen Real Down Packable Coat in red is an ideal choice for the modern adult who needs reliable warmth during travel or daily commutes without the bulk of a traditional winter jacket. Featuring premium real down insulation and a flattering chevron quilting design, it offers a sophisticated silhouette for colder weather. While this coat excels in portability and style, users should note that the polyester exterior is best suited for light precipitation rather than heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is this coat machine washable?
Check the garment care label first. Typically, down products require gentle cycles with low-heat tumble drying and specific detergents.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
While the polyester exterior offers some protection, this is not a waterproof raincoat. It is best to wear it during dry, cold weather or light flurries.
Does the hood detach?
The hood is integrated into the construction of the coat to provide maximum wind protection.
Is the waist drawstring visible?
The drawstring is designed to be discreetly integrated, allowing you to adjust the fit without detracting from the coat's style.
What does 'packable' mean in this context?
It means the coat is made from lightweight materials that can be compressed significantly to save space during travel.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers appearing on the surface of the coat
This is common with down garments; do not pull the feather out. Instead, pull the feather back into the coat from the inside to close the opening.
Coat feels flat after unpacking
Shake the coat vigorously and hang it up for a few hours. The down needs time to expand and trap air to regain its original loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the down filling, always follow the care label instructions. Because it is filled with real down, the coat should generally be professionally cleaned or washed using a mild detergent specifically designed for down products. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulating properties of the feathers. To maintain the loft of the down after washing, tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls to help fluff the material. When not in use, store the coat in a cool, dry place; avoid keeping it compressed in its travel pouch for long-term storage, as this can flatten the down over time.
