I still want to know the advantages and disadvantages of cotton-padded jacket compared with down jacket. Let's talk about this topic today.
0 1, from the cost point of view, the main difference between cotton-padded jacket and down jacket is the difference in filler. At present, the cotton-padded jacket on the market is filled with little real cotton, but there is more asbestos, which is a component of polyester fiber. It's just that this kind of asbestos also has different technological differences, such as glue-sprayed cotton and silk cotton. Relatively speaking, glue-sprayed cotton is much cheaper, while brushed cotton is relatively expensive, and the workmanship in the process of making clothes is no different from that of down jackets.
Of course, down jackets on the market are also different. A really good down jacket must reach at least 80% to be considered a down jacket. As for those 50' s and 60' s down, velvet with some feathers broken, and even so-called down cotton, in fact, strictly speaking, they are not down jackets.
For normal and ordinary adult cotton-padded jackets, the cost of hand-filled cotton filler is around 20 yuan, and the quality is good; Generally, 80% cashmere filled down is at least above 40 yuan (of course, it depends on the specific style). However, if the manufacturer uses unqualified velvet or down cotton, the cost of a garment filler is about 15 yuan.
Therefore, if we compare an unqualified down jacket with a good quality cotton-padded jacket, perhaps the cost of cotton-padded jacket far exceeds that of down jacket, which may exceed many people's imagination. Of course, with the same quality of cotton-padded jacket and down jacket, the cost of down jacket will definitely exceed that of cotton-padded jacket. Since the cost is relatively high, the price is naturally higher. Some people just don't choose down jackets for economic reasons.
02. In terms of maintenance, many people are reluctant to buy down jackets, mainly because they are worried that down jackets are not easy to take care of. In particular, I heard that the washing machine is prone to explosion accidents when washing down jackets, which also makes many people flinch from down jackets. For ordinary cotton-padded jackets, it is basically enough to throw them directly into the washing machine.
In fact, most down jackets can be washed in the washing machine like cotton-padded jackets. Moreover, many new washing machines have the operation mode of washing down jackets, so there is basically no need to worry about safety issues. And now there are all kinds of special detergents for cleaning down jackets on the market. It is really convenient to spray them directly on down jackets.
In terms of style, of course, modern people are not short of clothes, but they are beautifully dressed. In addition, clothes not only keep warm. Many people choose cotton-padded jacket, or from the perspective of style. After all, the cotton-padded jacket made of sprayed cotton is easier to achieve slim design, and the down jacket inevitably makes people feel a little bloated, even if the star wears it, he will feel fat.
Of course, with the emergence of various new technologies, down jackets can now be designed to be both fashionable and warm. Once the down jacket is designed to be light and thin, it loses its function of keeping warm. To tell the truth, if both style and warmth are taken into account, it is better to choose a light down jacket than a cotton-padded jacket.
To sum up, the choice of cotton-padded jacket or down jacket depends on the direction you choose, whether you want to be affordable, warm, slim and fashionable, or you want to take care of both. In short, it suits you, and the styles you like are worth buying. After all, buying clothes in modern society is also a good mood, right?
I am a tailor, a craftsman who has been focusing on the clothing industry for more than 30 years. I hope my sharing can help you!
Advantage 1: cotton-padded jacket keeps warm. In some areas in the south, the warm quality of cotton-padded jackets is far from being able to resist the cold, so as a host, there is no need to send down jackets. Of course, when it is particularly cold in the north, cotton-padded jackets can't keep out the cold to some extent, so down jackets are needed.
Advantage 2: cotton-padded jacket is cheap. The price of down jackets ranges from one thousand to several thousand. A cotton-padded jacket can buy a beautiful and warm style for a few hundred dollars. So in the same weather, people naturally prefer to choose cotton-padded jackets.
Advantage 3: cotton-padded jacket is fashionable. With the acceptance and absorption of cultural diversity, there are more and more styles of cotton-padded jackets, which are loved and sought after by people. And the style of down jacket is classic, so there are only a few models. Now people just want to be elegant, not warm!
Advantage 4: cotton-padded jacket is easy to clean. Dirty cotton-padded jacket can only be washed by hand or machine, while down jacket is different. Cleaning is relatively complicated and can only be sent to dry cleaners. This invisibly increases the cost of washing clothes.
I used to buy down jackets. After all, it is king to wear warm clothes in winter in the north! But now the down jacket looks better and thinner. Last year, I bought a light down jacket. I bought it because it is new, and I don't care whether it is cold or not. I feel too thin this year, and I don't think it's time to wear it when it's not too cold. It was cold and it was not warm when I wanted to wear it, so a down jacket was scrapped. Therefore, people who want to wear warm clothes in winter will buy a thicker down jacket directly, hoping to look good and freeze. I also want to buy a thicker cotton-padded jacket this year. It's warm and washable. I have never seen a report that down jackets will explode when washed with a washing machine before. I always wash it with a washing machine. I think it's warm to wear, but I still like it. I dare not wash it with a washing machine now, I can only wash it by hand. I think it's quite troublesome, so I want to buy a cotton-padded jacket this year, just to facilitate washing and care!
Many people choose cotton-padded jackets because they don't have to think about how to wash them. They can wash it in the washing machine at will. The price is not expensive, and they don't want to wear it after a year. The price of down jacket is relatively higher than that of cotton-padded jacket. Many people think that down jackets are difficult to manage and expensive, and some will run down. In fact, a good down jacket will not run down. Nowadays, the style is often temperament. If you find a good source, you can buy a long down jacket at the price of ordinary cotton-padded jacket, and it is still a brand.
The object is probably a southerner? Everyone I meet is willing to buy down jackets instead of cotton-padded jackets. Down jacket is really warm, wearing cotton-padded jacket is really cold.
If I had to buy clothes now, I would never buy a cotton-padded jacket. The price of cotton-padded jacket is not cheap now. For the northern region, it is not very practical. Because it's cold when it's cold, you don't need to put on a cotton-padded jacket to make the transition, you can directly transition from coat to down jacket.
And it's really cold to wear a cotton-padded jacket. I don't know what material cotton-padded jacket is made of now, but it's certainly not as good as real cotton. Like when I was a child, I made cotton-padded clothes and trousers at home. People like us who wear cotton-padded clothes and trousers really let me wear a cotton-padded jacket, but it is definitely a down jacket in cold weather. We are people who have been frozen and touched their faces.
I used to like to wear down jackets, which are light and warm, but later I found that cotton-padded jackets are more economical! Why? First, cotton-padded jacket is much cheaper than down jacket. Second, the cotton-padded jacket is durable, warm and easy to take care of. You can wash it in the washing machine. Unlike dirty down jackets, they have to be sent to dry cleaners for cleaning, and the cleaning price is not low! But I found that the down jacket is easy to drill when it is old. Every time I take off my clothes, I will suck some Mao Mao, which is very annoying! ! Third, in recent years, the filler selection of cotton-padded jackets has become lighter and lighter. The style is very fashionable! I'm from the north. It's enough to wear a cotton-padded jacket in winter!
The quality and style of cotton-padded jacket are very good, the warm-keeping effect is not much different from that of down jacket, and the price is much cheaper than down jacket. The price of cotton-padded jacket is mostly between 200 and 500, and the price of down jacket is between 500 and 5000. Most people are looking for new styles. When you don't want to wear a cotton-padded jacket, you don't have to worry about spending hundreds of dollars on clothes, but you won't wear a down jacket after one year. Is it a little extravagant? Of course, if you are a local tyrant, it is a piece of cake.
I am one of these people. I have been buying down jackets for several years, but the down jackets on the market are not cheap, and the cheap ones are not good. And the quality is uneven, and I won't pick it. Sometimes I buy a down jacket and wear it a few times before I start running. If you wear a black base and take off your down jacket, you will have a sense of sight just coming out of the henhouse and covered in white hair.
I bought two better down jackets before, but cleaning is a big problem. It is said that it is easy to explode in the washing machine, and the down jacket that has not run after washing will also become hairy because of the violent cleaning of the washing machine. If you wash it by hand, it will be cold, and the down jacket is particularly difficult to get wet, because there is a cashmere-proof barrier inside. If it's dry-cleaned, it's quite expensive, tens of dollars, and the meat hurts.
So tangled up, forget it, or buy a cotton-padded jacket to wear. Now there is heating and air conditioning everywhere, so it won't be too cold. Moreover, the cotton-padded jacket is resistant to manufacturing, and when it is dirty, it will be thrown into the washing machine for washing. I haven't bought a down jacket in the last two years, but I bought it from a cotton-padded jacket, just to take care of the children. Nothing can be washed, and the most important thing is that the cotton-padded jacket is cheap.
I used to like down jackets: light and warm.
But then the down jacket became more and more brisk, more and more slim and not bloated, but a little warm.
What is needed in winter is warmth, unless it is new, unless it is washed by hand, unless it is patted after drying, and the down jacket is getting warmer and warmer.
When I am old, my waist is old, and the customs are old, I can't stand the cold. When the down has shrunk into a pile, I feel chilly everywhere.
Some people say that it is hot to buy more expensive and better quality down jackets. Ten years ago, I bought a down jacket of more than 950 yuan. I want to buy a lot of pieces in Pinduoduo now, and I feel distressed. ) So far, this price is not cheap. I don't wear it after wearing it for a year or two, because the waist and right shoulder are chilly and there is no velvet at all. I almost caught a cold when I put it on once.
Besides not keeping warm, washing down jackets is also very troublesome. Machine-washed duck down is easy to pile up, and it is too lazy to shoot when it is dry. Hand washing is not easy to wash, it won't get wet, and it will float [cover your face] [cover your face].
Some also drilled velvet, which affected the appearance [grievance] [grievance]
Another disadvantage is that it is expensive. I feel reluctant to throw it without it. I always feel that the velvet can still be used. The one I mentioned above also takes up closet space [covering your face].
On the other hand, cotton-padded jacket is cheap, convenient and light. You can wash it casually in the washing machine, and it doesn't hurt to throw away cotton after separation [laughs] [laughs].
Many people prefer to buy cotton-padded jackets instead of down jackets. One of the main reasons is that down jackets are more expensive.
The main fillers of cotton-padded jacket are water cotton, wool blended fabric and polyester fiber. Down jackets are filled with down and duck down. Therefore, cotton-padded jackets and down jackets with the same length may be lighter in quality than cotton-padded jackets, but their warmth retention is indeed better than cotton-padded jackets, which is why there is almost no difference in appearance between down jackets and cotton-padded jackets, but down jackets can be sold for two or three thousand or even higher at any time, while the prices in cotton-padded jackets are mostly below 1,000 yuan.
Of course, due to the great difference between the north and the south of China, there may be no need for down jackets in winter in the south, so consumers are more willing to choose cotton-padded jackets.
In addition to the reason why many people give up down jackets and choose cotton-padded jackets, style is another big factor that makes consumers more willing to buy cotton-padded jackets.
Because the price of cotton-padded jackets is moderate, and there are many audiences, more businesses are willing to make more styles, colors and patterns to promote this part of consumers to buy cotton-padded jackets, so that cotton-padded jackets on the market are much richer than down jackets in terms of styles, patterns, colors and designs, and they are more fashionable and outstanding in winter.
Finally, liar, I think the third reason why many people are willing to buy cotton-padded jackets rather than down jackets is that cotton-padded jackets are easier to manage.
Daily cleaning of cotton-padded jacket will not change even if the internal filler is wet. However, if the water enters the down jacket, it will become thinner and thinner. Therefore, dry cleaning is recommended for general down jacket cleaning. And if the quality of down jackets is average, it is easy to exploit loopholes.
To sum up three points, many friends would rather buy cotton-padded jackets than down jackets.
