A winter down jacket sits in the closet for three seasons and during this time it can imperceptibly turn into an untidy item.
The reason for this unpleasant consequence lies in the peculiarities of storing outerwear.
To ensure that an item retains its attractiveness for the new winter season, it is worth considering a number of nuances.
It should be noted that outerwear does not immediately acquire a deplorable appearance. Changes for the worse occur gradually.
How not to store a down jacket
1. You shouldn't store outerwear on the balcony. It can fade under the sun's rays.
2. Down products should not be rolled up. Otherwise, the filling will be crushed and lose its thermal conductivity.
3. If stable warmth has arrived and the need for a down jacket has disappeared, you cannot immediately put the item into storage. Before that, you need to prepare the clothes for the next season.
How to do it right
1. First, you need to inspect the item. There may be some dirt. For example, sleeves, collar, and areas near pockets often get dirty.
2. After cleaning and drying, the down jacket is placed in a dark cover that allows air to pass through.
3. It is best to store the item in a closet, not on a balcony or other similar places.
