When I got the down jacket, as always on time, get Amazon, I was thrilled. Nice design, good fit and good workmanship. The first time you wear I noticed then that the jacket stinks terribly. I proceeded to cleaning that has confirmed to me the well again. For this jacket inferior springs were used to stink after washing even more because they are powdered to make them look like white down feathers and then the powder goes away during washing, the jacket stinks even more intense. The down jacket would have then spray with Febrese to get the stink off. I have returned the jacket. I can not understand that the company Hilfinger saves down feathers and thus their products ruined, especially the jacket priced at 199.90 Euro!
