Jackets — ACBuy Spreadsheet Guide
Outerwear from lightweight windbreakers to heavy puffers. Understand fill power, hardware quality, and seasonal availability.
Jackets represent the highest-ticket category on most spreadsheets. A good rep jacket can pass casual inspection; a bad one is obvious from across the room. Fill power, zipper hardware, and panel alignment are the details that separate tiers.
Risk Note
Winter jackets have longer production windows. Ordering in peak season can mean 2-3 week pre-shipping delays.
Trending Directions in Jackets
Technical Shells
Water-resistant fabrics, taped seams. Harder to rep convincingly at budget tiers.
Puffer / Down
Warmth depends on fill quality. Check loft and panel distribution in QC.
Varsity / Bomber
Wool-and-leather combos. Leather panel texture is the main QC point.
Fit & Material Notes
Sizing
Puffers are bulkier than they look. A size M can feel like L once layered over a hoodie.
Materials
Real down fill is rare; most reps use duck down or synthetic. Ask for fill-power spec if warmth matters.
QC Checklist
Buy Before You Buy
Confirm fill type and power rating
Budget reps list 'cotton填充' which is not warm. Look for down or high-loft synthetic specs.
Check zipper pulls and snaps
Hardware branding is often wrong on budget batches. YKK or branded zips are a good sign.
Inspect interior binding and seams
A clean interior means the factory cares about overall construction, not just the outside shell.
Jackets FAQ
Are rep puffers warm enough for real winter?
High-tier reps with 700+ fill power synthetic or duck down can handle most US winters. Budget-tier fills compress quickly and lose loft.
Do jackets ship with hangers?
Usually not. Jackets are folded for shipping, which can cause temporary creasing. Steam or tumble with tennis balls to restore loft.
What is the safest jacket type to rep?
Varsity and bomber styles have fewer complex materials, making them easier to reproduce accurately than technical shells.
