How to distinguish down jacket from cotton-padded jacket? Be practical, such as feel.

We can distinguish the difference between down jackets and cotton-padded jacket in terms of hand feel, weight and warmth retention.

1, feel distinction: down jacket filler is generally duck down or down, and the fabric is waterproof, with air in it, which will become very thin when pinched, and will return to its original state and rebound slowly when released. Cotton coat is divided into pure cotton and silk cotton, which has high elasticity and is completely different from down jacket.

2. Weight difference: The main components of cotton-padded jacket are cotton, acrylic cotton, space cotton and camel hair. Down jackets generally account for more than half of duck down or goose down, and can also be mixed with some tiny feathers. High-grade down jackets generally use more than 90% white goose down or white duck down, which means that a down jacket is much lighter than a cotton coat with the same thickness.

2. The difference of warmth: Generally speaking, cotton-padded clothes are filled with cotton, which is the most traditional warm-keeping material. This is because cotton fiber is thin and has a certain heat storage capacity. Generally, down jackets are filled with white duck down. White duck down is warmer than cotton at present. Only from the choice of materials, we can see that the warmth of down jackets is stronger than that of cotton-padded clothes.

Extended data

Pay attention to the purchase of cotton-padded clothes and down jackets.

1. Look at various signs on cotton-padded jackets and down jackets, such as factory name, factory address, lining composition content, cotton gram weight, down type, cashmere content, cashmere index, washing mark, product quality label, quality grade, and implementation standard code.

2. Pay attention to whether the cotton-padded jacket and down jacket are lined with plastic film or fake airtight lining.

3, look at the style: novel, chic, fit, generous, practical, preferably detachable. Be sure to try it on, especially if the bust size is moderate. Wear a sweater under it, and then put on a cotton-padded jacket and down jacket, which is suitable for wearing.

4. Look at the price: generally, the price is moderate. If the price is too low, the inherent quality of cotton and down can not be guaranteed, and various quality disputes are prone to occur.

5. Gram weight, cashmere content and filling amount of cotton: You should choose the cashmere content and filling amount that suits your needs. The cashmere content of down jackets is generally above 70%, which has a certain fluffy and warm feeling. Cashmere filling quantity is related to the warmth of down jacket, which should be determined according to your own needs. The same is true of cotton-padded jacket. The gram weight of cotton in cotton-padded jacket is determined according to the needs of wearing.

6. Resilience: If the fluffy cotton-padded jacket and down jacket are pressed and then released, they will rebound quickly and return to their original state, indicating that the fluffy degree of cotton and down is better. If the cashmere content is low, mixed with a certain amount of wool or broken wool, the resilience is poor, and the down jacket feels heavy in your hand. Cotton-padded jacket chooses board cotton or fluffy cotton according to your own hobbies.

7. Anti-drilling performance of cotton and cashmere: The lining of cotton and down products should have anti-drilling performance of cotton and cashmere. Take a pat, shake it, and find that diamond cotton, velvet cotton and down products are definitely inferior products. Due to the silky nature of down, it is normal for a small amount of down to overflow from the seam. Generally speaking, cotton seldom overflows.

8. Breathability: cotton-padded jackets and down jackets should not be drilled with cotton or velvet, but they should also have certain breathability. For example, the fabric, lining and liner of cotton-padded jacket and down jacket have poor air permeability. First, the water vapor in the process of wearing is not easy to dissipate, which makes them feel uncomfortable and not warm. Second, it is not easy to dry after washing. These two factors will make cotton-padded jacket and down deteriorate in different degrees under wet conditions, giving off an unpleasant smell.

9. Smell: Smell it, take a deep breath close to down products, smell the smell inside, and avoid buying products with heavy and pungent taste, but it is normal to have a certain smell because they are animal feathers.

10, accessories: there are many accessories on a cotton-padded jacket and down jacket, such as zippers and metal buttons. Are they beautiful, smooth and elastic? Children's wear should not have sharp and easy-to-take accessories.
