The core of down products is the feathers filled in the products. But because consumers can't see the feathers in the products, they can't have an intuitive impression. Even if they can see, because of the particularity of the feathers, they can't distinguish the quality of the down products, so it's difficult for consumers to distinguish the quality of the down products. Point.
What is the meaning of the data on the hanging tag of down products and what kind of specifications do they represent?
According to the current international standards, there are at least three items on the hanging tag of down products that must be marked, that is, the type of filler, the filling amount and the content of down.
Types of fillers:
Only waterfowl can produce down. At present, there are four main down varieties on the market, white duck down, grey duck down, white goose down and grey goose down, among which white duck and white goose down are more common. Now most down products are filled with these four kinds of down. There is another kind of Icelandic goose and duck velvet, which produces very little and is very expensive. Only a small amount of it appears.
When goose and duck are fully mature, goose down is larger and more fluffy than duck down, and its warmth retention is relatively good. From the color point of view, white down has the same warmth retention performance as grey down, but white down will not penetrate into light-colored fabric when it is filled, which can better reflect the color of the fabric. In addition, goose and duck have different growth regions and feather quality. In principle, the north is better than the south. Birds growing in the north, because the weather is cold, the fleece grows thick, the fleece grows long, the fluffy degree is high, relatively good warmth.
Filling capacity:
Full down amount refers to the weight of down filled in down products. According to the different filling quantity, the thickness of down products and the thermal performance of products can be adjusted. Down products used in different temperatures should choose the appropriate amount of filling, if the amount of filling is too high, it will be too hot, the amount of filling is too low, it will not keep warm. Depending on the style, length, thickness and number of down jackets, the amount of down filling varies slightly.
Down content: also known as down content, refers to the proportion of the filling down. For the same filling quantity, the higher the content of wool, the better the warmth retention and the more comfortable the product will be. In theory, down is composed of down (also known as down) and ribbon. Down determines the thermal performance of down, and ribbon determines the resilience of down.
If a down product is marked "80% white duck down, 150 g full down", that is to say, the down product is filled with white duck down, a total of 150 g full down, of which 120 g down, and 30 g is small. This is a theoretical value, there will be errors in the actual production process, the national standards have strict limits on errors, beyond the scope of the unqualified products.
In addition to these three basic labeling items, we need to know some other terms for down products:
Fluffy degree: Fluffy degree is one of the important criteria for evaluating the quality of down, which determines the performance of down. Fluffy degree is the volume of a certain amount of down (feather) in a certain caliber container under constant pressure. The size of velvet produced by geese and ducks in different regions varies with breeds and feeding cycles. Generally speaking, the larger the velvet, the higher its fluffy degree, the better its warmth retention and comfort.
Flying silk: Flying silk is a single piece of velvet that falls off the velvet. The fleece is round and contains more air, but the fleece is linear, so the fleece content too much will affect the fluffy degree and warmth retention performance of the down.
(b): Small feathers with pedicels, mixed with down to increase the resilience of down, down products can be quickly restored after pressing down, that is the credit of ___________. If pure down is filled in the down products, the recovery will be slower after being compressed.
Pulverized feathers: mainly for illegal traders to shatter feathers and pretend to be feathers. The thermal performance is very poor. In the process of pulverizing, it is easy to produce more sharp feathers. The filled down products are easy to drill feathers and wear uncomfortable.
Land fowl feathers: The feathers of land fowls are called land fowl feathers, which mainly refer to chicken feathers. Chicken feathers are not warm, easy to wash, rotten and stinky when exposed to water, and easy to drill out of the fabric. Because chicken feathers are very cheap, some profit-seeking businessmen often mix chicken feathers into feathers to cheat consumers.
Knowing more about down and down products, we can choose the most suitable products for our own use in the process of purchasing and consuming down products.
