Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the loft and performance of the down and feather insulation, as well as the integrity of the polyester shell.
- Check Care Label: Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions.
- Cleaning: Typically, down jackets require professional dry cleaning or delicate machine wash. If machine washing:
- Use a front-loading washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle.
- Use a specialized down detergent (not conventional liquid detergent).
- Zip all zippers and close any fasteners.
- Drying: This is the most critical step for down jackets.
- Tumble dry on a low heat setting with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up clumps of down and restore loft.
- Drying can take several hours. Periodically check and fluff the jacket manually.
- Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spots, use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently dab the affected area.
