I got this coat at the end of last winter from this site and waited with excitement to wear it this fall. I got it in vintage white, which is a beautiful mixed color that goes great with browns, black, grey, beige and oatmeal. I go to college in upstate new york and had gotten compliments on this coat almost every single day that I wore it. so I was happy, but the stains built up very fast--with a shade of white that is inevitable...
the instructions said gentle cycle wash--which I did, and it is gone now. No down, it is flat as a fleece coat. Pretty unhappy and dissatisfied.

Down matts when it get washed. Put 3 or 4 tennis balls or a clean pair of sneakers in the dryer with the coat to break up the matts. It will come out looking brand new-fluffy.

That is typically what happens when you wash down. The dryer fluffs a bit but not completely. The flatness is easily remedied by simply fluffing it by hand, move the down around in the pockets and just fluff it up. Once it's fluffed you're good to go until you wash/dry it again. Hope this was helpful.
