All our down coats are water- and wind-repellent. After washing your coat, you may need to apply a reimpregnation coating to the coat in order to maintain the water-repellent function.

Our down coats have different fits and sizing: Straight, Relaxed and Regular fit.

Each coat has its own Size Chart, where you can find the measures in different sizing for the coats. The best way to choose the correct size, is to take help from the Size Chart. You are also always welcome to contact us joutsenshop@joutsen.com for advise.

There's a common misconception that down and feathers are the same thing. In fact, they're quite different. Feathers are the outermost layer of the bird, which most of us recognize by its appearance. The feathers protect the bird from water and wind. The down on the other hand, is the soft, warming, undercoating of the bird. Down is bushy and looks like small fluffy tufts, it weighs almost nothing. This is also the reason why our down coats are so light yet warm. All our down coats are filled with 100% down (EN12934)
