Puffer jackets, also known as “quilted jackets,” are insulated jackets designed to keep you warm. They are made of waterproof and windproof fabric and filled with duck or goose down or synthetic material such as rayon. This synthetic material is much less expensive and does not provide as much warmth as natural down, although it is not as warm or lightweight. In wet areas, the warmth is superior to that of down. It’s the perfect winter choice for people who are allergic to duck and goose down.
At Liling Clothing, we fill our puffer jackets with high-grade white duck down or synthetic insulation, along with cotton, to provide varying degrees of warmth that meet the needs of our customers in different environments.
How do we make puffer jackets?
Creating a quality down jacket involves many steps; skilled workers perform some of these steps, while machines can make others more efficient. This ensures that puffer jackets are stylish and comfortable while reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Our AKCN Wholesale Puffer Jacket Supplier’s production of puffer jackets is mainly divided into the following 10 steps:
Material Inspection
First of all, we need to check the accessory materials, including fabric, down, cotton, zipper, button, and so on. Make sure all the materials meet the quality standard, which is the basis for us to produce premium puffer jackets.
Pattern Making
Next, the designer must enter the data of each detail of the design into the computer, make the pattern of the puffer jacket according to a certain ratio, and then lay out the pattern. This step determines the overall structure and craftsmanship design of the jacket, including details such as collar, sleeve length and jacket length.
Fabric Selection
After the pattern is completed, it is necessary to choose the right fabric. This includes Shell Fabric, Lining Fabric and Bile Fabric. The choice of shell fabric is critical. Common fabrics include nylon and polyester with a waterproof coating for water and wind resistance. The shell fabric determines the look, feel, and durability of the puffer. The lining, which just needs to be breathable and durable, is usually a common blend of fabrics. The double-layer bile fabric must be non-drilling, so choose a thin, lightweight, coated fabric.
Fabric Cutting
After selecting the fabric, you need to cut it according to the size of the platter. The cut must be slightly larger to leave enough space for the sewing. This step requires high-precision cutting tools and experienced workers. Because the size and shape of each piece of fabric must be accurate.
Sewing the down-filled bag
Once the fabric is cut, the down-filled bag must be made. It is made up of a lining fabric and two layers of bile fabric, which is used to attach the padding to the inside of the jacket. There are usually five pockets required, one back, two on the sleeves and two on the front. Sometimes, for appearance purposes, the down-filled pockets are quilted into small compartments, which are aesthetically pleasing and improve warmth.
Filling
Once the down bag is in place, the next step is to fill it. It can be filled with down by machine or by quilting with cotton jackets. Filling is controlled by a machine that precisely controls down content, which is efficient and improves fluffiness.
Production of Add-ons
Next, various accessories are added to the puffer jackets, such as collars, zippers, buttons, pockets, hats, and embroidered designs and patterns added to the fabric. All these accessories are essential to add practicality and beauty to the jacket.
Sewing
Combine the individual down-filled pockets and sew them together. When sewing, it is important to make sure that the seams are aligned and the stitches are even to ensure that the jacket is durable and beautiful.
Lock the Edges
Once the puffer jacket is finished, you need to lock the edges of all seams to ensure that the fabric does not come loose. Locking the edges is an important step in ensuring the durability of the jacket, which can effectively extend the life of the jacket.
Quality Inspection
Finally, the finished product is thoroughly inspected. We check that the down-filled pockets are secured, that the open thread seams are even and straight, and that there are no loose or excess threads to ensure that each quilted jacket meets our superior standards.
