QUILTED AND DOWN JACKETS
For the colder days, down and quilted jackets are the perfect choice. A good cut and high-quality workmanship ensure that the quilted jacket does not look bulky, even in larger sizes. While quilted jackets are filled with synthetic material, down jackets, with their natural filling of bird feathers, provide optimal thermal insulation with particularly light comfort – even if they have to be stowed in your luggage or in your hand.
Quilted jackets are often more resistant to moisture and dry faster than down jackets because of their synthetic filling. Down, on the other hand, offers unbeatable warmth-to-weight ratio, which is why it is ideal for very cold temperatures.
HIRMER big & tall Style tip
With a well-combined down or quilted jacket, you can brave the winter in style!
Wear warm corduroy trousers or wool trousers for added comfort and go for layered outfits so you can react flexibly to temperature fluctuations. A roll-neck jumper or a warm flannel shirt is the perfect addition to the look.
For the perfect outdoor style, choose robust leather or lace-up boots and add a fashionable touch with a colourful hat or a patterned scarf. This way, you'll be both weatherproof and style-conscious!

Materials & properties
- Down filling: Extremely warm, light and breathable, but more sensitive to moisture.
- Synthetic filling (quilted jackets): Easy-care, quick-drying and often even water-repellent – ideal for wet weather.
- Water-repellent or waterproof outer materials: Many jackets are equipped with special coatings to withstand wind and rain.
- Adjustable cuffs and hoods: These help to keep body heat inside and protect against icy winds.
Care instructions for your down or quilted jacket
- Only wash down jackets with a special down detergent and then shake them out in the dryer with tennis balls so that the down does not clump.
- Quilted jackets made of synthetic materials are usually easier to care for and can be washed on a gentle cycle and air-dried.
- Use a water-repellent spray to maintain the water-repellent properties.
- Shake the jacket regularly to ensure that the filling is evenly distributed.
