Troubleshooting
Down feathers starting to poke through the fabric
This is normal for some down garments; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Jacket feels flat after washing
Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the loft of the down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses high-quality down, proper maintenance is essential to retain its loft and insulating properties. Avoid storing the jacket compressed in a small bag for long periods; instead, hang it in a cool, dry place. When washing, use a mild detergent designed for down garments and ensure it is dried thoroughly—ideally with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-loft the feathers. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature and cycle settings to ensure long-term performance.
