Japanese fashion is known to the whole world for its provocation and extravagance. Perhaps that is why Japanese brands are not particularly popular in a more conservative Europe. However, there are happy exceptions. Uniqlo is one of the few companies from the land of the rising sun whose products could win the love of mods from almost all over the world.
Our article today is devoted to Uniqlo women's down jackets. We will tell you about the history of the company and about the features of its products.
You can get acquainted with the best models of down jackets from Uniqlo, as well as get valuable expert advice on the choice of down jackets and care for them.
Brand features
The history of Uniqlo began in the middle of the 20th century, with the opening of a men's clothing store in the Japanese city of Yamaguchi. After 35 years, the owners of the shop decided to expand the circle of customers, and created a network of outlets selling casual clothes in a unisex style. The new brand was named Unique Clothing Warehouse, but it soon fell to Uniqlo.
The company began to grow rapidly, and by the beginning of the 90s in Japan there were about a hundred Uniqlo brand stores. Today, nearly 1,500 boutiques of this brand operate in 16 countries of the world.
This popularity of Uniqlo products is due to several reasons. First, the company produces things from basic wardrobe, which are easily combined both among themselves and with other brands of clothing.
Secondly, the choice of models of men's, women's and children's clothing is very large. And finally, this manufacturer offers high-quality and stylish clothing at a relatively low price.
Benefits
Uniqlo down jackets are in great demand among Russian buyers, for whom wearing winter clothes not only has a beautiful appearance, but also the ability to warm even in the most severe frosts.
Among the main advantages of down jackets and coats from this manufacturer include:
- A high degree of thermal insulation, which is achieved by filler, consisting of down and feather waterfowl.
- Relatively low price. The company has developed several techniques that can reduce the cost of products (for example, the rejection of double-layer insulated pockets). It is important that such methods of saving do not affect the quality of products.
Another high quality is ultra light. In the down-feather mixture, 90% is occupied by down, so the Uniqlo down jackets weigh almost nothing. The products are so thin and light that they fit in a compact case that can be carried in a bag.

Tips for choosing
Choose a down jacket in which you can comfortably spend the whole winter, and maybe not even one - the task is not easy. 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 primarily on the composition of the filler. Pay attention to the percentage of feather and down. The more fluff, the easier and thinner the product will be.
- Quilted down-padded coats are good because in the sections divided into small segments, the filler is distributed evenly, so there are no bald spots that are vulnerable to cold.
- The most practical are down jackets - those that can be modified depending on the weather, for example, detach a hood and a furry, tuck up the sleeves or even change the length of the down jacket. Look for double-sided models that can be worn inside out, because, in fact, they are two things in one.
Care
- It is strictly not recommended to wash down coats and jackets with ordinary washing powders. Dry cleaning or washing in a washing machine in a delicate mode with the use of a product for washing downy products is preferable.
- Uniqlo lightweight down jackets dry very quickly for a few hours. It is better to dry them by hanging on a hanger or spreading it on a dryer, and pre-fluff the filler with your hands.
- If you notice feathers sticking out of the seams, you do not need to pull them out, otherwise tiny holes will increase, and the pen will climb even more. Try to gently pull the feathers back with a thin needle or hook.
In a well-ventilated area, the item will dry faster. Open the window in the room where you dry the jacket
