I have no idea if that’s true, but here is a photo of the original Down Hanky Vest that I made nearly 40 years ago. True, the fabric is a bit discolored (dirty?) But the goose down (in this case 700 fill-power grey goose down) is still doing it’s job after all these years. naturally resilient & stong https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624392763730-FVWCUC46QTJI5LIUOZ7U/IMG_4848.JPG Minutia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614301342092-BI4TD9U4HP78MIDYSWJJ/IMG_4785.jpg Minutia https://www.downhanky.com/intro daily 0.75 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614300953017-IWM4SLT5UXPVUKAJ7Q97/80987E71-16AC-4568-B40F-7EE212018349.jpeg One-at-a-Time or two at a time… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1622084569057-ODRDK9NL4V0K9QP25CNP/Screen+Shot+2021-05-26+at+8.02.27+PM.png One-at-a-Time - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1613689712799-KUXEXBXX2EHCHYHB4R51/3B9F6670-F1CB-4E14-80D0-5F22E7093D7F_1_201_a.jpeg One-at-a-Time https://www.downhanky.com/description-1 daily 0.75 2022-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1661300823253-TKN63NXYVZT88SUJMMYR/DownHanky_6452.jpg Description https://www.downhanky.com/european-escapade daily 0.75 2021-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1622085319244-EFCD0CQBS7SWRE0PBSP6/unsplash-image-cokIcMulPJA.jpg Common Threads - Insulation: We use goose down for insulation because it consistently has more plumules and fewer feathers with prickly shafts or barbs which tend to poke through the fabric layers. Ours is especially lofty. We use 850 FillPower. “Back in the day” I measured all kinds of different down from different sources and species. At the Hanky, it’s pretty simple: we buy the best we can consistently obtain: 850 fill-power. In general, fill power is measured by filling a cylinder with a single ounce of down and seeing exactly how much air it will loft - hence a comparative measure of the potential warmth of the down itself. We use gray color because it looks more natural and it shows through the translucent fabrics so you can see what keeps you warm. It’s all done with intention as part of the design. lofty ambitions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614299862705-8X2EN5856WKXLU0GD45R/3BD31000-3EFA-4E69-906C-42000DCA342C.jpg Common Threads - Thread Colors: each item is sewn with completely random (one-at-a-time) thread color to enhance the individuality of each product. The quilting we use to hold the down in place is a zig-zig stick pattern to accentuate the thread color. Variations: choose from the following random thread color combinations. Each item it a on-of-a-kind thread color combination. Choose between these stitch color options: PLAIN: all of the quilt stitching is a matching neutral color. PARTY: anything goes, including neon colors. PHUN: tasteful, colorful, but nothing too outrageous. common threads https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614300344102-9KVGC8ME06KFTPOBBMDZ/726298D7-40AE-4E9C-B2FC-F0A9472243D5.jpg Common Threads - Fabric: Translucent un-dyed down-proof nylon ripstop fabric (exclusive to us) is filled with 850 fill-power grey goose down. Yes, you can see the feathers - that’s the whole idea. The fill is sufficient for warmth and light enough to keep our promise of Simple. Lightweight. Warm. Unless otherwise specified, Zig-Zag stitching is of random colors strategically sewn to hold the goose down in place - just enough. (Interesting fact: most ripstop nylon is commonly known as “parachute cloth”, but ours is actually made for sewing parachutes. Certified PIAC44378T4 - a Military Spec for parachutes!) simple. lightweight. warm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614293518198-IPW2NA4WHRHF613AA02F/ECB6FEE7-4304-402A-80C5-E2092E511B7B_1_201_a.jpg Common Threads - Hot Cutting: each item is individually “hot cut” in order to completely seal the edges so that seams will never unravel. This is particularly important with very lightweight fabrics like our 1.1 ounce translucent nylon. We learned this “back in the day” watching high altitude tents being cut and sewn. It’s not completely necessary for more earth-bound products like ours, but we can, so we do. one-at-a-time https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614300889901-GATVSPMXWGBLXCDM95XC/Thread%2BColor.jpg Common Threads https://www.downhanky.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-10-29 https://www.downhanky.com/faq-fairfield daily 0.75 2021-02-18 https://www.downhanky.com/logistics-fairfield daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.downhanky.com/products daily 0.75 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1613683842302-YU6IUMP3QUARUKTNUVMY/9098F4A7-4E79-4D7A-9D15-E6C1CA96A12F.jpg Products https://www.downhanky.com/products/down-kimono monthly 0.5 2022-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624380795116-0LFD0VT62YK6BXMHC071/Down-Hanky+kimono+front.jpg Products - Down Kimono https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624381223627-RC4M160DESN5FUUWE03V/Down-Hanky+kimono+back.jpg Products - Down Kimono https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1657753089398-TCOAD9DJOK17RPKHT25R/DownHanky_6556.jpg Products - Down Kimono https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1657753133013-ZKJHIL2REDBXJUX355QT/DownHanky_6574.jpg Products - Down Kimono https://www.downhanky.com/products/neck-cozy monthly 0.5 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624380528862-V7FM20C82R8CGTEPRH5M/Down-Hanky+neck+front.jpg Products - Neck Cozy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624380545195-L9FOEI1AB0P75YCHYOMF/Down-Hanky+neck+Back.jpg Products - Neck Cozy https://www.downhanky.com/products/down-neck-tie monthly 0.5 2021-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624379334952-HAH5CBV34Y3Z41O02EYO/Down-Hanky+tie.jpg Products - Neck Tie https://www.downhanky.com/products/grilling-kzp7j monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1661301207557-YFPZN9R9QTTCZN0G6WFQ/DownHanky_6452.jpg Products - The Original Down Hanky Blanky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624378940513-KMTW5TWGKGWR6UEKECIY/Down-Hanky+blanket.jpg Products - The Original Down Hanky Blanky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1657755342808-A9ZNP9Y6BGUYXZE5J50G/DownHanky_6462.jpg Products - The Original Down Hanky Blanky https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1614300953017-IWM4SLT5UXPVUKAJ7Q97/80987E71-16AC-4568-B40F-7EE212018349.jpeg Products - The Original Down Hanky Blanky https://www.downhanky.com/products/gutting-dshye monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624379103264-WFH408GNGVH9BQTW8AS3/Down-Hanky+vest+front.jpg Products - Down Vest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b259cfe71069926ee25a0fd/1624379118935-V7GHHD7RAL9DENEPAJ62/Down-Hanky+vest+back.jpg Products - Down Vest https://www.downhanky.com/packages-1 daily 0.75 2020-10-30 https://www.downhanky.com/packages-1/weekend-retreat-zhmlk monthly 0.5 2017-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043328283-YJAHEK8M2FWFVFZGEUKQ/grilling.jpg Packages - Weekend Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043307184-T1HIKVYXMYBQZAAS26AH/camp_1530.jpg Packages - Weekend Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043305322-B8YU0HY0YJSUGS9JKTAC/camp_1722.jpg Packages - Weekend Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043359114-KQ2A10EBUUHDS4HOERTB/camp_2498.jpg Packages - Weekend Retreat https://www.downhanky.com/packages-1/foodies-vacation-hmc76 monthly 0.5 2017-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043113003-RDDN01OHL77ZJRRQ4OYU/camp_221.jpg Packages - Foodies Vacation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043152643-J88AFFMEXKKZK7JUI66J/camp_2428.jpg Packages - Foodies Vacation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043200752-TT1HVXCO9JDPFQL22E0X/camp_2788.jpg Packages - Foodies Vacation https://www.downhanky.com/packages-1/european-escapade-pbfdc monthly 0.5 2017-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497042982756-RSCC1BPKKFBPSS56SXHA/camp_074.jpg Packages - European Escapade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043020171-PSDQEJ8QSY2GYUMALHLM/camp_674.jpg Packages - European Escapade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043047891-64MWNXOOU2APVLP12F04/camp_267.jpg Packages - European Escapade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5923016644024315f6b579cc/1497043087550-G5PFE34BKIWDEYHWU7JE/camp_320.jpg Packages - European Escapade
