When to buy a down jacket and save
The two best times are the January winter sales, when the current collection is discounted by 30–50%, and the end of the season (February–March), with the deepest markdowns on the last available sizes. If you’re looking for a specific style in the right size, shop early in the season, between October and November. Find the discounted selection in the women’s winter sale collection.
Size, insulation and care
A down jacket should leave room for a sweater without feeling tight across the shoulders: if in doubt, choose a comfortable fit. Check the down-to-feather ratio (90/10 is the benchmark for natural warmth) or the quality of the synthetic insulation, which is now excellent in technical garments. For care: wash it infrequently and gently, dry it completely with laundry balls to redistribute the filling, and never store it compressed in the closet.
