Embroidered Down Jacket - OEM

The Flowers down jacket from The Tiny Big Sister in dark red, made from cotton with a water resistant finish and light down padding, with contrasting floral embroidery over the body and sleeves, a classic collar, welt pockets and a zip opening concealed behind a snap button placket, listed at 315 GBP with all four sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the fit, because this garment does something no other in this run has done. Doubled, the chest runs about 45 and a half to 55 inches. Against bodies of 31 to 37 inches, the ease runs about 14 and three quarter inches at a 34 up to 18 and an eighth at a 40. It is worth then naming what is unusual, which is the direction. Every other garment this run has measured has got tighter as the sizes went up, by a predictable amount. This one gets looser, by an inch and a seventh at every step, and this run's formula explains why: the chest grades four centimetres at every size, and a grade of g centimetres moves the ease by 0.79g minus 2 inches, so four centimetres adds 1.15. It is worth then holding the fit word against those numbers, because this is the fifth test of the word relaxed and it is the clearest yet. A sweatshirt at 305 pounds measured 12.6 to 13.9 inches and cleared the anchor. A merino sweater at 465 measured 9.5 to 10.7 and did not. A sherpa jacket measured 8.2 to 9.9 and did not. A printed blouse measured 5.1 to 6.8 and did not. This jacket measures 14.7 to 18.1 and clears it comfortably. It is worth then being careful about one thing, because this is the first padded garment in this run and the number behaves differently. The published chest is the outside of the padding, not the body underneath. So those eighteen inches are not all room. Some of them are down. It is worth then saying what the page would need for a reader to tell how much is which, and this is the real finding. Down is specified by two numbers: fill power, which is how much loft a given weight gives, and fill weight, which is how much down is in the garment. This page gives neither. It is worth then setting out what that costs. A jacket described as 90 per cent down and 10 per cent feather can be a light autumn layer or a serious cold weather garment, and the entire difference is fill power and fill weight. It is worth then closing on the composition panel, because it is fuller than most and still has a hole. Three lines: the shell at 100 per cent cotton, the lining at 100 per cent polyester, and the padding at 90 per cent down and 10 per cent feather. The description says contrasting floral embroidery decorates the body and sleeves. There is no line for the embroidery. The reference is the Flowers down jacket.

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures taken with the jacket laid down, doubling to 116, 124, 132 and 140 cm around, or 45.67 to 55.12 in. Against bodies of roughly 31 to 37 in, the gap at the chest runs 14.7, 15.8, 17.0 and 18.1 in, rising by about 1.15 in at every step, and this run derives that a grade of g centimetres flat moves this figure by 0.79g minus 2 inches per size, so the 4 cm grade here adds 1.15. This is the only garment in this run whose ease rises with size instead of falling. Because the jacket is padded, part of that gap is the loft of the fill rather than room to move, and no fill power and no fill weight are published, so the two cannot be separated. The sleeve steps 1 cm at every size and the total length is 68 cm on every size, so the length is not graded. No waist, no hip and no shoulder are published. Our proposal below grades all three columns, holds the ease steady across the range, and states the fill power and fill weight.

Occasions and Styling

Suits everyday autumn and winter wear. A light padded jacket with embroidery works over knitwear without bulk, and the water resistant shell takes it through a shower.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for all four sizes, grades the chest and the sleeve evenly, carries all four sizes in stock, publishes a size conversion from its numeric scale to letter sizes, splits its composition into three lines covering the shell, the lining and the fill, states its down to feather ratio, names its finish, its collar, its closure, its pockets and its embroidery, and names its country of manufacture. It gives no fill power, no fill weight, no down species, no down certification, no shell weight, no finish chemistry, no spray test rating, no waist, no hip, no shoulder, no collar depth, no zip length, no snap count, no pocket count, size or placement, no motif size, no measurement point for the sleeve, no shrinkage figure, no certification and no model, its total length is not graded at all, and its description calls the garment a colour the product is not named for. Three things follow: the first padded garment in this run and the two numbers that specify padding are both missing, an ease that rises with size instead of falling, and a word that finally clears its anchor by a wide margin.

Eighteen inches, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what is unusual about it before saying whether it is good or bad. Every garment this run has measured has got tighter as the sizes went up, by a predictable amount: two centimetres of chest grade takes 0.43 inches away, one centimetre takes 1.21 away. This jacket does the opposite. It gets looser, by an inch and a seventh at every step, and this run's formula explains it exactly, because the chest here grades four centimetres, and 0.79 times four minus two is 1.15. It is worth then holding the fit word against it, because this is the fifth test of the word relaxed and it is worth giving the tally. A sweatshirt measured 12.6 to 13.9 and cleared. A merino sweater measured 9.5 to 10.7 and did not. A sherpa jacket measured 8.2 to 9.9 and did not. A printed blouse measured 5.1 to 6.8 and did not. This jacket measures 14.7 to 18.1 and clears it by more than any of them. It is worth then being careful, because this is the first padded garment in this run and the number does not mean what it has meant. The published chest is the outside of the padding. So those eighteen inches are not eighteen inches of room. Some of that gap is down. It is worth then asking what the page would need for a reader to divide the two, and this is the actual finding, and it is the most important thing on this page. Down is specified by two numbers. Fill power, which is how much loft a given weight of down gives. And fill weight, which is how much down is actually in the garment. This page gives neither. It is worth then saying what that costs in plain terms, because the ratio it does give is not a substitute. A jacket can be 90 per cent down and 10 per cent feather and be a light layer for a mild autumn, or be a serious cold weather garment, and the entire difference between those two jackets is fill power and fill weight. A reader of this page cannot tell which one this is, and neither can a factory asked to copy it. It is worth then adding what else is missing from the fill, which is short but matters: no species, so duck and goose are not distinguished, and no certification, which is the one filling where a buyer expects to see a standard named.

Three lines, and that is the second thing, and the credit comes first because it is earned. Shell at 100 per cent cotton, lining at 100 per cent polyester, padding at 90 per cent down and 10 per cent feather. Splitting a garment by component is the right way to write a fibre panel, and three lines is more than most garments in this run have managed. It is worth then asking what is not among them, because the description names it. Contrasting floral embroidery decorates the body and sleeves. There is no line for it. It is worth then noting that this is now a pattern rather than a slip: a sweatshirt in this run gave its embroidery its own fibre line, and since then a blouse named after its embroidery did not, and now this jacket does not either. It is worth then turning to the finish, which is the same kind of omission. The page says water resistant. It does not name the chemistry, it gives no spray test rating, and it does not say whether the finish is free of perfluorinated compounds, which is the first question anyone asks about a water repellent now. It is worth then running down the rest, which is mostly the usual: no shell weight in grams per square metre, no zip length, no snap count, no collar depth, no measurement point for the sleeve, and welt pockets with no count and no size, which is worth setting beside a skirt in this same batch that did count its pockets and wrote 2 side pockets. It is worth then adding the two frozen things. The total length is 68 centimetres on all four sizes, so a 34 and a 40 get the same body length. And no model is published, which makes 68 impossible to place against a body, and which is the fifth garment from this house in three batches with no model. It is worth then closing on the strangest sentence on the page, which is in the description and not the specification at all. The product is named Dark Red. The description calls it this orange jacket. Two colours, one garment, and no explanation.
