Japanese fashion is known worldwide for its provocative and extravagance. Perhaps this 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 hailing from the land of the rising sun, whose products have been able to win the love of fashionistas from almost all over the world.
Our today's article is about 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 choosing down jackets and caring for them.
Brand Features
The history of Uniqlo began in the mid-20th century, with the opening of a men's clothing store in the Japanese city of Yamaguchi. After 35 years, the owners of the store decided to expand the circle of customers, and created a network of outlets selling casual clothes in the unisex style. The new brand was called Unique Clothing Warehouse, but soon it was reduced 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 in 16 countries around the world there are almost 1,500 boutiques of this brand.
This popularity of Uniqlo products is due to several reasons. Firstly, the company produces things from the basic wardrobe, which are easily combined both among themselves and with clothes of other brands.
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 clothes at a relatively low price.
Benefits
Uniqlo down jackets are in great demand among Russian buyers, for whom in winter clothes not only beautiful appearance is important, 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 due to the filler, consisting of fluff 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 product quality.
Another chic quality is ultra lightness. In down-feather mixture, 90% is occupied by down, so Uniqlo down jackets weigh almost nothing. Products are so thin and light that they fit in a compact case that can be carried with you in a bag.
Models
We bring to your attention a selection of the most interesting models of women's down jackets from the latest Uniqlo collection. You can buy a thing in a company boutique or order it with delivery in one of the online stores.

A quilted down vest with a deep wine shade looks very elegant. It is also incredibly warm and compact, as it easily folds into a small handbag-case.
Selection tips
Choosing a down jacket in which you can comfortably spend the whole winter, or maybe even not one, is not an easy task. First you need to determine 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 a down jacket depends, first of all, on the composition of the filler. Pay attention to the percentage of feather and down. The more fluff, the lighter and thinner the product will be.
- Quilted down jackets are good in that in areas divided into small segments, the filler is evenly distributed, so no bald spots vulnerable to cold are formed.
- The most practical down jackets are those that can be modified, depending on the weather, for example, to unfasten the hood and fur edge, turn the sleeves or even change the length of the down jacket. Take a look at the two-sided models that can be worn inside out, because they, in fact, are two things in one.
Care
- Wash downy coats and jackets with conventional detergents is not recommended. Dry cleaning, or washing in a washing machine in a delicate mode using a means for washing down products, is preferred.
- Uniqlo's lightweight down jackets dry very quickly in a matter of hours. It is better to dry them by hanging them on a coat hanger or laying them out on a dryer, and then fluff up the filler by hand.
- If you notice feathers protruding from the seams, you do not need to pull them out, otherwise the 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 your jacket
