The puffers
Iceberg
The Iceberg line uses recycled nylon and sculptural quilting inspired by ice formations. The men’s Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer and women’s Iceberg Quilt Down Puffer are rated Level 4, the warmest puffers in the range. The Lightweight Iceberg Quilt Down Jacket is a Level 3 option, and the Iceberg Quilt Down Pants complete the look.
Everest
The Everest family is the classic quilted puffer: the men’s Everest Down Jacket is Oversized Fit at Level 3, the women’s Everest Hooded Down Puffer is Relaxed Fit at Level 3, and the Everest Camo Down Jacket and Everest Hooded Fur-Print Down Puffer bring the Wild prints.
Kings and Queens
The Kings Reversible Down Puffer (men) and Queens Reversible Down Puffer (women) reverse from plush faux fur to a glossy quilted finish. Both are Level 3 with a removable hood. The non-reversible Kings Down Bomber and Queens Down Bomber are their shorter siblings.
Glint
The women’s Glint Tufted Down Puffer has tufted diamond quilting and goldtone hardware, Level 3.
How to wear a down vest
A vest is about the layer underneath. Over a fine roll neck and a shirt it looks smart; over a Bunny hoodie it is casual and warm enough for most autumn days. Men can wear the Westmount over a crewneck sweatshirt with chinos. Women can wear the Slim Fit Iceberg vest over a long knit dress with boots. The bright Iceberg colours look best with neutral layers, so let Clover green and Blue Ice be the only colour in the outfit.
Vest, puffer and parka: which do you need?
| Day | Choose |
| 10°C to 0°C, active | A Level 1 vest over a knit |
| 0°C to minus 10°C, city | A Level 2 vest under a coat, a Level 2 puffer |
| Minus 10°C to minus 20°C | A Level 3 puffer |
| Minus 20°C and below | The Level 4 Iceberg puffer, a Stirling parka |
How to care for a Moose Knuckles down jacket
Most Moose Knuckles down styles can be machine washed cold, and dry cleaning is the alternative the label gives. Close every zip and snap, turn the jacket inside out and use a gentle down wash with no softener. Tumble dry on low with two clean tennis balls until the down is completely dry and lofty again, because damp down clumps and smells. Remove any detachable fur trim first; real fox fur goes to a fur specialist, never into water. Leather styles go to a leather specialist. Between seasons, store the jacket loosely on a wide hanger, not compressed in a bag, so the fill keeps its loft.
