Down outerwear has been a source of pride at Eddie Bauer since 1936 when Eddie invented the first down jacket patented in America. Every one of our down garments has specific care instructions that are unique to that style. These are listed on the care label sewn into the garment on the interior side seam and are also included on our website’s selling page for that garment. In addition, the following instructions are for the general care of all down-insulated garments.
