Lovely but feathers escape

By RHD Ranked #88 - Women's Down Jackets December 18, 2011

It's a beautiful jacket but big around for me (5'2" 100lbs UK size 8 so I'm on the small side to be fair) it's lovely but hugely boxy on me. So warm and light though that I can forgive this. But the bit that baffles me is the feathers. It's supposed to be a down jacket but I'm being stabbed by quills working their way out the whole time. Down is stripped from the quills? I'm getting quill feathers everyhere. I found a quill feather in my bra getting undressed. It had worked through the jacket, a jumper and my under layer yesterday to get into my bra. It's itchy being stabbed by the feathers the whole time.
But at least I'm warm and it is a lovely jacket. Just don't remember the stabbing by quills issue with previous down jackets. Wondering if the U K is getting substandard feathers.??
