Jacket QC: More Complex Than Other Categories
Jackets require more thorough QC review than most other items because there are more components to check: outer shell material and texture, lining quality and color, zipper quality and hardware, pocket placement and construction, collar and hood construction, fill quality (for puffers), and overall silhouette and fit.
For puffer jackets specifically, the fill quality is critical. Down fill should create even, consistent baffles without lumps or gaps. Synthetic fill should have a consistent texture throughout. Always request close-up photos of the baffles and fill distribution.
