To check how well the jacket is made, take the model you like in your hands. The Chinese factory down jacket should necessarily have a label on which the composition of filler and fabric will be specified. If the label has the word "down", then it means that the filler is a natural fluff.

Most often manufacturers use eider, goose, swan and duck fluff. A filler made up of 100% fluff is very expensive, so Chinese down jackets of this kind are rare. If you see the inscription "cotton" on the label, then you are holding a quilted jacket.

The cheapest down jackets become in February-April, when there are total sales of winter things. At this time, you can buy a stylish model two times cheaper than it cost in the fall. But, postponing the purchase until spring, you can face the problem of choice: usually by this time the most running sizes (44-48) have already been sold out. In summer, in the shop windows, it is almost impossible to see winter down jackets, since they are cleaned before the onset of cold weather. Therefore, it is better to worry about buying ahead of time.
