It has arrived in early November, and the average temperature in the Yangtze River Delta region has gradually dropped, and many consumers have begun to buy down jackets to prepare for the winter. According to data recently released by Suning, sales of down jackets have increased by more than 1.5 times month-on-month in the past two weeks. Since the beginning of this year, the price of down jackets has increased to varying degrees. Taking a well-known down jacket brand as an example, the average selling price of down jackets last autumn was between 700-800 yuan, but this year it has reached 1,100-1,200 yuan.
The increase in sales of down jackets has led to the hot sales of downstream down jacket fabrics?
Since mid-to-late October, as the weather has gradually cooled down, the textile market has also rebounded slightly, and cold-proof clothing fabrics are in hot sales. According to a trader in Shengze area: “Recently, the market has been dominated by T400, T800, imitation memory, nylon and other cold-proof clothing fabrics are the dominant ones. Dyeing factories also make many of these fabrics, and most of the delivery times are 7-15 days.”
It is understood that conventional down jacket fabrics are gradually being eliminated by the market due to their shortcomings such as velvet and poor wind resistance. However, through the use of some conventional high-density and ultra-fine denier products such as high-density polyester taffeta, Ultra-fine denier pongee and ultra-fine denier fabrics undergo related post-finishing to achieve water-repellent, oil-repellent, pollution-repellent and other characteristics. Although the price of down jackets made from this type of fabric is 10%-20% higher than that of ordinary down jackets, it has good characteristics. Nowadays, most consumers prefer down jacket fabrics with high quality and high added value. To this end, the editor has compiled some down jacket fabrics that are popular in the market recently, are reasonably priced, and meet the above requirements.
01
380T matt nylon spinning
It is understood that the current market is still based on High-density, light and ultra-fine denier is the mainstream product. The director of a weaving factory in Shengze told the editor that ultra-fine denier jacquard and elastic products are more popular this year. Their factory mainly focuses on order production. Since October, the sales of ultra-fine denier elastic and thin products have been steady. Improvement, current orders can be completed by the end of the year.
380T matte nylon has a softer and natural luster, bright and full colors, smooth and soft overall touch, and light and fine texture , has good drape and color fastness, is easy to wash and quick-dry, and is very wear-resistant. The high density of 380T can better improve the windproof and warm performance of ready-made garments. It is the best choice for winter clothing such as down jackets and cotton-padded jackets.
02
Double-layer seam-free down fabric
Double-layer seam-free down jacket fabric has a relatively Good elasticity, its elongation and ductility are better than woven fabrics, it can greatly protect outdoor sports enthusiasts, and can store energy, and has good heat preservation and insulation effects; in addition, no needlework is required when sewing garments , through the method of laminating the film, it solves the technical problem that knitted elastic fabric cannot be downproof and cannot be applied to down clothing fabrics, and has excellent windproof, breathable, and waterproof functions. This fabric is a supplement to woven double-layer seam-free fabrics. It is also not bound by raw materials and has a very rich product range.
03
3D glued four-layer down jacket fabric
This fabric is made in the form of “main fabric + bottom material + two layers of membrane in the middle”. It has the advantages of lightness, thinness, softness, etc. It is superior to the 5-layer fabrics on the market, and the price is lower than 5th floor. Compared with similar products on the market, this new fabric has no velvet, good breathability, windproof, waterproof and heat storage properties, which are also optimized for the current market.
This 3D waterproof down jacket fabric that leads the new trend is made by processing the top fabric and base fabric through TPU film respectively, and then through gluing The PUR glue with special viscosity is transferred in a wheel and the effect pattern model can be changed at will. After high-temperature hot stamping, the glue dries quickly in time to form a channel pipe cloth. This patented process breaks the shortcomings of traditional down fabrics and meets the requirements of waterproofing and waterproofing. The velvet function also realizes the advantages of seamless function.
There is insufficient confidence to increase the price of down jacket fabrics
According to front-line business people, the main reason for the price increase is the rise in down, which has been rising from September 2016 to the first half of this year. Prices are rising; taking the mainstream white duck down with 90% down content as an example, the price in early September 2016 was about 190,000 yuan per ton, and this year it reached a maximum of about 450,000 yuan. Compared with the beginning of the year, the price of duck down has dropped by 20%-25%, and the price of goose down has dropped by 5%-10%, but it is still at a historically high level.
This also means that you need to use �For some down jacket manufacturers with filling materials, if they want to ensure the same profit with the same amount of down filling, the sales price must be doubled. Therefore, it is understandable that the average price of 7/800 yuan in previous years has increased to 1100/1200 yuan this year.
For downstream fabric manufacturers, although the fabrics for cold-proof clothing have improved recently, manufacturers are still facing inventory pressure. In addition, the current polyester price has reached a historical level, and the fabrics will naturally not be available. The confidence to increase prices.
Afterword
With down jackets becoming more expensive year by year, customers’ demand for down fabrics The selection also pays more attention to the quality and added value of products. Many manufacturers have taken a fancy to this trend and began to make some high value-added down fabrics, which are favored by downstream customers. In the future, perhaps only high value-added products will be recognized by the market! </p
