I have a down jacket with a furred hood, and the fur is attached!!wondering if I can put the piece in the dryer for tumble dry on low?? m little afraid if the fur would cause fire or something. can someone please help on this??
Thanks Shonnie and Selah for your prompt answers, though they are quite confusing me. I am totally at lost whether the fur attached on the hood is flammable or not in the dryer.

Shonnie, as you said that it is not safe to do so, and I am certain that there is no way to remove the fur from the hood. what would be a good way to wash and dry the hood without having it through the dryer? any suggestions??

Selah, you mentioned that you have done it for the down comforter and blanket etc. my question is, any of them has fur on it?? Cuz I'd finished cleaning 2 of my down jackets, of course both are without fur on it. Now coming to the third one which has a furred hood, I am so confused, please suggest.

Thank you!

Well, I've never skied myself but my son, a 4th grader, is going to join a ski club from his school this winter. I'm wondering what he should wear. I don't want to spend too much money, since he already have a winter jacket. I'm wearing if it's okay if he wears it to the ski trip. It's a down jacket, pretty warm. I am wondering if it's strange for him to wear down jacket for skiing. It seems like people usually wear waterproof jackets made of special fabrics like goretex, and they look just as expensive!

I'm wondering if he will be out of place if he wears down jacket for his skiing. I've never been to skiing so I'm clueless. Do you see people with down jacket at skiing? Should I get him regular "ski"-looking clothes? But I really don't want to pay for two jackets for one winter. He is growing so quickly it just seems like a waste of money.

He has a snowpants. Please tell me what you think and what you actually see on the skiing place.

Any other tips for skiing, would be appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I got it a year ago and today there was a lot of wind and the hood blew off my head constantly. It is a jacket made for skiing I think, very warm even when it is very cold outside, but the hood blows down and I have to put it up and there is no string to tie and tighten it. Am I missing something? How do I keep the hood up?
That's why I said I can't send it back. Can you tell me how to keep the hood up?

I recently bought a down/feather jacket, but I find that it loses A LOT OF FEATHERS!! I practically looked like a chicken when I went to class last week with black pants/black shirt.

Unfortuantely the store gave me only the option to return them in exchange, they have really expensive down jackets (>200) , and cheaper shitty polyester jackets (60$)... this was the inbetween (0) and I was hoping to be able to wear it for a few years... when I went to the store they put a spray on the insides and said that should hold back the feathers, it did a bit, but now they're coming out again... I don't know what to do... just get the polyester jackets, stick with this (and use the spray-- anyone know what it could be?)

any HELP would be very appreciated...

I remember a string orchestra repeats in the background every so often. He vaults over a car's hood that comes out of a driveway at one point I think. I can't remember much of the song, but the video is stuck in my head.

So for most of my jackets, whenever i wash it, the zipper part is a little longer so how can i prevent that?

when you ski, does it puff up? i am a ski racer and i want to get the Women's Nirvana Down Jacket from the u.s. ski team store, but i dont want to get it if it gets really big when you ski...
