Which one is better, fur or down jacket?

From personal experience, fur is better, and I also think fur is better from an economic perspective!

Let’s talk about warmth first. We have seen Antarctic hares and polar bears in nature, but have you never heard of Antarctic ducks and Arctic geese? A layer of fur and a layer of fur have the function of blocking wind and keeping warm!

Down is divided into thickness and filling. Everyone has experience of the impact of thickness on warmth retention. You can only look at professional data for filling. You can search online.

Next, let’s talk about cost-effectiveness. Contrary to popular opinion, I think fur is more economical.

The initial investment often gives people the first impression of being expensive or cheap, but a piece of fur can be worn for at least ten years with normal use.

As long as it is worn more and ventilated more, in addition to some general Yellow or slightly faded, it can even be twenty or thirty years old. And what about a down jacket? It seems that the problem of velvet in down jackets has not been solved yet. Not to mention the problem of the thinness and deterioration of warmth retention in down jackets. After being washed in the sun, is there any down jacket that can last ten years? The sleeves and elbows must have naturally worn out! ?

In terms of cost, it costs a lot to dry clean a down jacket. Of course, many people can accept washing it, but what about fur? Washing once every few years is enough, and many fur merchants will provide preferential cleaning services. Many people say that fur is delicate, but in fact they are just afraid of being scratched and greasy. Is it possible to scratch and pull on nails and splash oil on them casually when wearing a down jacket? So the so-called delicate is just that it is expensive to buy, which makes you feel reluctant to wear it or get oily.

Secondly, let’s talk about the risks of purchasing from the perspective of consumers. Consumers can only identify the quality of down jacket fillings from the labels, and it is impossible to cut them open, identify and weigh them. As for fur, if you look at a few pieces of different fur types or different levels of the same type of fur, most consumers will be able to make a basic judgment and will not be easily fooled. So if you choose a brand of down jacket, you can feel at ease. Then compare the prices of brand down jackets and fur. Is there any advantage?

Of course, I also wear down jackets. I admit that when I am at home, down is more mobile than fur. More convenient and comfortable.

There are also many people who oppose fur based on the principle of animal protection. I just want to say that Europe is a country that considers animal welfare. I have not realized that our national conditions are like this. I support animal welfare, but I hope that I am not using it as a cover for some people, and I do not want to be subject to double standards, especially those who can enjoy a meal at the table to oppose others wearing animal skins on their bodies.

Furthermore, we don’t want this to become a yardstick for judging rich and poor. In fact, if you can afford it, fur is more economical, which means it is more suitable for poorer people. If you can't afford it, you are naturally not included in this list. People who can look good in fur have at least a certain aura and confidence, which is also a personal mental outlook worth promoting. This is not something that can be changed by a piece of fur, it must be that the person wearing it has that kind of temperament!

To sum up, if it is affordable and there are no value barriers such as animal welfare, I personally think fur is a warm, economical and beautiful choice.
