Yes, but use a delicate cycle with a detergent formulated for down and always tumble dry with dryer balls to maintain loft.

It measures the quality and loft of the down. A 650 rating provides a balance of high warmth and low weight, ideal for versatile daily use.
Yes, the vest follows a standard regular fit. If you plan to layer it over very thick sweaters, you may consider your standard size.
It allows you to open the vest from the bottom, which is helpful for comfort while sitting or driving.
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back inside from the opposite side and rub the fabric to close the hole.
Tumble dry the garment on low with dryer balls to fluff the down, or manually redistribute the feathers by shaking and patting the baffles.
The DWR finish may have worn off; use a fabric-safe DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
This garment is designed for a standard regular fit and can be worn true to your usual size. To maintain the integrity of the down insulation, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Always check the internal garment label before washing. Generally, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down items. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the DWR coating. When drying, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls in the dryer; this helps redistribute the down feathers and restores the vest's original loft. Store the vest in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to prevent material fading.
