Why are so many people willing to buy cotton jackets instead of down jackets?

Why are you willing to buy cotton clothes instead of down jackets? I have personal experience with this issue.

Half a month ago, because I was going to Beijing for a business trip, I thought that my previous clothes were a bit old, so I wanted to buy another wind-resistant jacket, so I went to the pedestrian street to have a look, and ended up shopping for a long time. , I didn’t buy a suitable down jacket, and in the end I could only buy a cotton jacket. The reasons are as follows: First: About the color

In order to buy this dress, I looked at all the stores I could look at. , including those specializing in down jackets such as Bosideng, as well as specialty stores including Heilan House and Septwolves. But the colors of down jackets I see include black, gray, green, etc. These colors are relatively too single and too popular. And at Rui Hejun's age, I don't really like these popular colors, especially the colors that look old. .

Compared with the single color of down jackets, the colors of cotton jackets are more varied. Not only can there be slightly brighter colors like khaki, but there are also some color matching and contrasting designs. After wearing them, you will feel It's still good, and it doesn't feel that old. Second: bloatiness

In all the down jackets I have tried, I always feel very bloated after wearing them. Especially at my age, my body has already put on weight and I already have it. My belly feels like it's almost turning into a "ball" after putting it on. It feels so weird.

Compared with the fluffiness of down jackets, cotton jackets are much better and have a good shape. They feel more portable and comfortable.

As for the price issue mentioned by others, it does not exist here, because the price of the cotton clothes I bought is more expensive than those new down jackets.

So, the reason why I buy cotton clothes instead of down jackets is the above two reasons. Do you have the same views as me?

Whether more people buy cotton-padded clothes or down jackets, this may have different answers in different regions. In fact, I also saw a report that many people never wear down jackets at all, and this type of people is not an exception, there are still some groups.

The questioner probably still wants to know the advantages and disadvantages of cotton-padded jackets compared to down jackets. So let me talk about this topic today. 01. From a cost point of view

The main difference between cotton-padded jackets and down jackets is the filling. The cotton-padded jackets on the market now are rarely filled with real cotton. They all contain more asbestos, which is a type of stuffing. Composition of polyester fiber. It's just that this kind of asbestos also has differences between different processes such as spray-coated cotton and silk floss. Relatively speaking, spray-coated cotton is much cheaper, while the cost of brushed cotton is relatively high. The workmanship in the process of making clothes is no different from that of down jackets. .

Of course, the down jackets on the market are also different. The really good down jackets must be at least 80 or above to be considered a down jacket. As for those with 50 or 60 down, there are also ones with broken feathers. Velvet, and even so-called down cotton, are not actually a down jacket in the strict sense.

The cost of a normal adult cotton-padded jacket with hand-stuffed cotton filling is around 20 yuan, which is considered to be of good quality; while a general 80-meter down padding costs at least 40 yuan. (Of course it depends on the specific style). But if the manufacturer uses substandard brushed velvet or down cotton, the filling cost of a piece of clothing will be around 15 yuan.

So if you compare a down jacket with substandard quality to a cotton jacket with good quality, maybe the cost of the cotton jacket is far more than that of the down jacket, which may be beyond the imagination of many people. Of course, for cotton-padded jackets and down jackets of the same quality, the cost of down jackets is definitely higher than cotton jackets. Since the cost is relatively high, the selling price will naturally be higher. Some people do not choose down jackets for economic reasons. 02. From the perspective of maintenance

Many people are reluctant to buy down jackets, mainly because they are worried that down jackets are difficult to take care of.

In particular, I heard that the washing machine is prone to explosion accidents when down jackets are cleaned, which also makes many people shy away from down jackets. For ordinary cotton clothes, you can basically just throw them into the washing machine.

In fact, most down jackets can be washed directly in the washing machine just like cotton jackets. Moreover, many newly released washing machines have an operation mode specially designed for washing down jackets, so there is basically no need to worry about safety issues. And now there are various special detergents for cleaning down jackets on the market. The kind of detergent that can be sprayed directly on the down jacket and it will be very clean is indeed very convenient. 03. From the perspective of style

Of course, modern people do not lack clothes, but wear good-looking clothes. Besides, clothes do not only play a role in keeping warm. Many people choose cotton clothing from the perspective of style. After all, cotton clothes made of spray-coated cotton are easier to achieve a slim design, while down jackets will inevitably make people feel a bit bloated, and even celebrities will feel fatter when wearing them.

Of course, with the emergence of various new technologies, down jackets can now be designed to be both fashionable and warm. Once a down jacket is designed into a very thin style, it loses its function of keeping warm. To be honest, if you want to balance the style and warmth, choosing a very thin down jacket is really not as warm as choosing a cotton jacket.

In summary, whether you choose a cotton coat or a down jacket, the key depends on the direction you choose. Do you want affordable warmth, slimming and fashion, or do you want to balance both? , in short, whatever suits you and the style you like is worth buying. After all, in modern society, buying clothes is also about buying a good mood, right?

Advantage one, cotton clothes keep warm. In some areas in the south, the thermal insulation quality of cotton jackets is far enough to withstand the cold, so there is no need to send out the master of down jackets. Of course, when it’s particularly cold in the north, cotton-padded clothes cannot protect you from the cold to a certain extent, so down jackets are needed.

Advantage 2: Cotton clothing is cheap. The price of down jackets ranges from just over a thousand to several thousand dollars; while cotton jackets can be purchased in beautiful and warm styles for a few hundred yuan. Therefore, under the same weather, everyone is naturally more willing to choose cotton clothing.

Advantage 3: Cotton clothing is fashionable. As people accept and absorb cultural diversity, there are more and more styles of cotton clothing, which are loved and sought after by people. Relatively speaking, there are only a few classic styles of down jackets. Nowadays, people only want style but not warmth!

Advantage four: cotton jackets are easy to clean. If cotton clothes are soiled, they can be cleaned by hand washing or machine washing, but down jackets are different. Cleaning is relatively complicated and can only be sent to a dry cleaner. This invisibly increases the cost of cleaning clothes.

I have always bought down jackets before. After all, wearing warmer clothes in the northern winter is the way to go! But now down jackets are becoming more and more beautiful and thinner at the same time. I bought a light down jacket last year. Because it was new, I didn’t care whether it was cold or not, but I wore it for a few days. This year, I felt that it was so thin. When it's too cold, I feel like it's not time to wear a down jacket. When the weather gets cold and I want to wear it, I don't feel warm when I wear it, and a down jacket is useless. Therefore, people who want to wear warm clothes in winter can just buy thicker down jackets. If they want to be beautiful and cool, they can be casual. This year I also want to buy thicker cotton clothes, which will keep them warm and easy to wash. I have never seen reports that down jackets will explode when washed in a washing machine. I have always washed down jackets in washing machines. I think down jackets are warm to wear and I still like down jackets. Now that I have seen such reports, I don’t dare to wash them in a washing machine and can only wash them by hand. , I think it’s quite troublesome, so I want to buy cotton-padded clothes this year, just to make them easy to wash and take care of!
