This padded jacket contains natural down—is it okay to wash it with water at home?

A down-blend filling refers to a composition filled with a mixture of natural feathers and artificial synthetic fibers. Generally, natural down feathers are lightweight and have an excellent capacity to trap warm air, but when wet, they clump easily and take a long time to dry. On the other hand, polyester, a synthetic fiber, does not absorb water easily, so even when wet, it maintains its original shape well and dries quickly.

FreshService filled the padding with a mix of DOWN 50% and POLYESTER 50%^[1][2]. They struck a balance so that while preserving the cozy air layer provided by natural feathers, the synthetic fiber supports between the feathers. Thanks to this, unlike ordinary padded jackets filled entirely with natural feathers, the burden of feathers clumping to one side is reduced, and it can be washed with water^[3]. This means you can wash and wear it comfortably at home without the hassle of taking it to the dry cleaners.

hmmm, this is a realistic consideration that lessens the effort of daily care so that it can be worn frequently and comfortably, just like workwear.
