Beijing: Feathered cotton fabrics with 300 or fewer genuine down jackets

In winter, down jackets became the best cold equipment when they were out. However, while the down jackets bring warmth to everyone, some poor down jackets are harming the interests of consumers.

The survey found that using chicken feathers or even smashed chemical fiber cotton as a feather down garment made into a down jacket, the cost is less than 100 yuan. Insiders reminded consumers that in addition to some old-fashioned specials, the following three hundred yuan can't really qualify for down jackets.

Market exploration: Tens of thousands of pieces are issued every day, and the price is as low as one or two hundred yuan. It is located in Beijing Muwen Garden Market, outside the South Third Ring Road in Beijing. Every day, clothing vendors from all over the country visit this wholesale down products. Now is the season when down jackets are booming, and there are more than 30,000 down products sold out from here every day.

Come to the clothing market, see all kinds of down jackets, everything is high, about 1,000 yuan, the middle price of three or five hundred dollars, the cheapest wholesale price is only one or two hundred yuan.

It is understood that the production of a long paragraph down jacket needs about 250 grams of down, now a little better down 50 to 80 to 100 yuan, almost 50 grams of 50 grams per 50 grams, even if not counting ingredients and labor, A long down jacket costs at least three hundred dollars. Selling one or two hundred yuan is not enough even for the book.

The cost is very low. Many traders know that the wholesale price of each down jacket is 200 yuan at the stall on the first floor of the market for a wholesale long men's and women's down jacket.

When asked why the price is so cheap, Mr. Chen, the stall owner, is quite frank: "The filled down is almost the same, the price will be cheaper."

Mr. Chen said that the quality of the down jacket is mainly determined by the down inside. "If the poultry feathers such as chickens and ducks are used, the cost will be much lower. Usually the cost of a long down jacket is less than 100 yuan."

According to several wholesale down apparel vendors, down apparel wholesaled from the Beijing market has usually been sold for 50% to 100%. “In fact, traders all know that down jackets of this price are mixed with fakes, but they are cheap and they have to make money, so they know they are buying fake goods,” said one wholesaler.

Secret in the industry: 300 yuan or less are fake products, or even not enough. Mr. Zhou is also a down jacket wholesaler of Jingwen clothing market. Besides being engaged in the wholesale of down jackets, he also operates his own down jacket plus workshop at Liuyingmen South Street in Fengtai.

At present, China's current standards for down products stipulate that: the standard for down jackets containing ordinary down shall not be less than 50%, while the down jackets for regular down products manufactured by enterprises are generally about 90%. Even a short mid-range down jacket costs 400 yuan. “General merchants will increase their sales by 40% on the basis of 400 yuan.” Mr. Zhou said, “550-600 yuan is the actual sales price of a mid-range down jacket. The wholesale price is below 300 yuan in the down jacket, which None of the equipment is down, or even this book will not be returned."

Fake means: the number of poultry feathers and fiber cotton to fill up, in order to disrupt Mr. Zhou's down jacket stalls are also wholesale low-grade "down jacket", the wholesale price of each item is 250 to 300 yuan. He told reporters that these "down jackets" are not filled with real down feathers, but they are fake down feathers.

The false feather is also called "flying silk". In fact, it is crushed velvet. Crushed velvet is made by plucked duck hair, geese and other bird hair. Mr. Zhou said that the “flying wire” color is very similar to real down, but it is rough and hard to handle. Not only is it not warm, but due to lack of high-temperature sterilization and other processes, it may produce odors after being processed into “down jacket”.

In Jingwen apparel market, the goods delivered by Mr. Xu from the delivery are 30 jacket-type “down jackets”, each with a wholesale price of 380 yuan. Note that these jackets are soft, fluffy, and elastic, making no difference to real down jackets. However, it is not down, but chemical fiber cotton.

It is understood that chemical fiber cotton posing as down is counterfeiters commonly used means, high-quality chemical fiber cotton price of 3 yuan per 50 grams, broken down in accordance with a certain percentage added to the down, do not ask professionals to open down jacket detection, most people simply can not see through. It is understood that many high-end down jackets are now taking this approach to counterfeiting.
