What are some great uses for old down jackets?

Every winter, many people will buy down jackets. As we all know, down jackets have very good warmth retention effect and are very light to wear. In addition, there are many styles of down jackets nowadays, which can meet the needs of different groups of people. But everyone will also find that down jackets are usually more expensive, so it is best not to throw away old down jackets directly, because they still have many uses.

Use old down jackets:

I have too many old down jackets at home. It's a pity to throw them away, and I can't give them away as gifts. I couldn't find any information on how to make a down quilt on the Internet, so I made one myself some time ago. I didn't expect that it felt good when I put on the quilt cover after it was made. It was light and warm. (When I covered it on the silk quilt, it made a little noise because it was sewn with quilt cloth, and the quality is definitely not as good as special down quilt fabric)

I made another one yesterday, and this time it was very fast. It only took me four hours to complete it, including removing the fleece. The main reason was that it was troublesome to remove the fleece. The first time I made it, I saw someone else’s post saying to remove the horizontal line, and I spent the whole morning to remove one. This time, I simply put it in water to wet it, took it to a basin, cut it into squares one by one, then shook it in the sink a few times, scooped it out with a sieve and put it in a convenient bag, and the fleece was quickly removed. By the way, I also washed the velvet in water.

Two children's and one adult's down quilt are made into a duvet. The cost of four meters of cloth is 24 yuan. Although it is not as high-end as those sold on the market, it feels pretty good when you make it yourself.

The fluff is collected in the pool on the balcony, and all operations are wet. There is basically no fluff flying around the house.

Use old down jackets as cores to avoid waste

It is understood that the biggest advantage of buying semi-finished down jackets is that you can make use of old down jackets. The boss said: "The so-called semi-finished down jackets require buyers to provide the down themselves. At this time, the old down jackets at home are useful, because what is needed is the down in the old down jackets, and buyers don't have to feel bad about throwing away the old down jackets."

To make a down jacket in a garment store, generally half a pound of down is needed for a half-length down jacket, which means a down jacket costs between five hundred and six hundred yuan. "When the reporter said that this price was almost the same as the promotional prices of some brand-name down jackets, Boss Liu said: "I know a lot about clothes. In fact, many down jackets that cost thousands of yuan contain a maximum of four taels of down. A half-length down jacket can contain half a catty of down, and a medium-length one can contain at least seven or eight taels of down. Therefore, its warmth retention is much better than that of brand-name down jackets that cost thousands of yuan. ”
