Stoic Luft Down Insulated Sweater

I bought the Stoic Luft Down Insulated Sweater in the Lt. Jade / Cream color for my wife and can't recommend it in this color. While the jacket is very well made and warm, the choice to combine a semi-transparent material with black and white down feathers is strange. The jacket looks dirty right out of the box because you can see the black feathers in there. Also, the tag says that the jacket is reversible, which it is not, and the pockets barely fit her hands, which are pretty small. Since it is a very nicely constructed jacket, I can recommend the Berry/Cream color as it is not transparent and looks nice if that's the color you are into.

Bought my wife the Berry color, and it looks pretty cool and not dirty at all. She likes it a lot. I imagine the problems are with the cream.

Unfortunately the jacket does look dirty. You can actually see what he's talking about in the photos on site. My girlfriend didn't want to buy this jacket for that reason. It's a valid concern. It sucks because without that design flaw, they jacket is pretty awesome.

Let's not be defensive about customer feedback, Bill. The jacket looks dirty. You can actually see what he's talking about in the photos on site. My girlfriend didn't want to buy this jacket for that reason. It's a valid concern and should be treated as such.

the goose down plumes thats used in this sweater, are from real goose. these feathers have an occasional gray down plume in them. the material is a lightweight 15 denier taffeta, very lightweight, and can be translucent. we can assure the garment is not dirty - just mad light, and warm!
