You can machine wash it but use Nikwax down wash. Normal laundry detergents are hydrophilic, meaning they attract water. That will work against the water-repellant nature or coating of any technical outerwear. I generally Nikwax wash my down stuff once or twice a year, depending on how dirty they get.
