Uniqlo down jackets
Japanese fashion is known all over the world for its provocation and extravagance. Perhaps this is why Japanese brands are not particularly popular in more conservative Europe. However, there are also happy exceptions. Uniqlo is one of the few companies, originally from the land of the rising sun, whose products were able to win the love of fashionistas from almost all over the world.
Our today's article is dedicated to women's down jackets from Uniqlo. We will tell you about the history of the company and the features of its products.
Explore the best Uniqlo down jackets and get expert advice on choosing and caring for down jackets.
Brand features
The history of the Uniqlo company began in the middle of the 20th century, with the opening of a men's clothing store in the Japanese city of Yamaguchi. 35 years later, the owners of the shop decided to expand the circle of customers, and created a network of retail outlets selling casual clothes in unisex style. The new brand was named Unique Clothing Warehouse, but soon it was shortened to Uniqlo.
The company began to grow rapidly, and by the early 90s there were about a hundred Uniqlo branded stores in Japan. Today, almost 1,500 boutiques of this brand operate in 16 countries of the world.
There are several reasons for the popularity of Uniqlo products. First, the company produces items from a basic wardrobe that can be easily combined with each other and with clothing from other brands.
Secondly, the choice of models for men, women and children is very large. And finally, this manufacturer offers high quality and stylish clothing at a relatively low price.
Advantages
Down jackets from Uniqlo are in great demand among Russian buyers, for whom not only a beautiful appearance is important in winter clothes, but also the ability to warm even in the most severe frosts.
Among the main advantages of down jackets and coats from this manufacturer are:
- A high degree of thermal insulation, which is achieved due to the filling, consisting of down and feathers of waterfowl.
- Relatively low price. The company has developed several techniques that can reduce the cost of products (for example, abandoning two-layer insulated pockets). It is important that such methods of saving do not affect the quality of products in any way.
Another great quality is ultra-lightness. In a down-feather mixture, 90% of down is taken up, so Uniqlo down jackets weigh practically nothing. The products are so thin and light that they fit in a compact case that you can carry with you in your bag.
Models
We bring to your attention a selection of the most interesting models of women's down jackets from the latest Uniqlo collection. The item you like can be purchased in a company boutique or ordered with delivery in one of the online stores.

Selection Tips
Choosing a down jacket in which you can comfortably go through the whole winter, and maybe even more than one, is not an easy task. First you need to decide on the desired style and length, then - with the brand, and only then choose a specific model. We hope that our recommendations will help you make the right decision.
- The weight of the down jacket depends, first of all, on the composition of the filler. Pay attention to the percentage of feather to down. The more down, the lighter and thinner the product will be.
- Quilted down jackets are good because in the areas divided into small segments, the filler is evenly distributed, so bald spots that are vulnerable to the cold are not formed.
- The most practical down jackets are those that can be modified depending on the weather, for example, unfasten the hood and fur trim, tuck the sleeves or even change the length of the down jacket. Take a closer look at the two-sided models that can be worn inside out, because they are, in fact, two things in one.
Care
- It is strictly not recommended to wash down coats and jackets with ordinary detergents. Dry clean, or machine wash on a delicate cycle using a lint detergent is preferred.
- Lightweight Uniqlo down jackets dry very quickly, within a few hours. It is better to dry them by hanging them on a hanger or spreading them out on a dryer, and first fluff the filler with your hands.
- If you notice feathers sticking out of the seams, do not pull them out, otherwise the tiny holes will enlarge and the feather will climb even more. Try to gently pull the feathers back using a fine needle or crochet hook.
In a well-ventilated area, the garment will dry faster. Open the window in the room where you are drying your jacket
