- How warm is the Mackage Shyla?
- It uses 800 fill power down, which is among the warmest down grades used in coats, and the removable quilted bib adds another layer at the chest and neck. It is built for deep winter in a city, not for extreme expedition cold.
- Can I remove the quilted bib?
- Yes. The bib zips out, so you can wear the coat as a lighter down layer on milder days and zip it back in for hard cold.
- How should I clean it?
- Dry clean only. The down filling and the shell are not meant for machine washing, so plan for professional cleaning.
- Does it run true to size?
- Mackage coats are generally cut close to the body, so most shoppers take their usual size, but those who want room for a thick sweater often size up.
- Is it good for rain or wet snow?
- Down loses insulation when it gets soaked, so it is best for dry cold. In wet weather, a water-resistant shell over it is the safer choice.
- What makes it different from a standard down coat?
- The removable quilted bib and the tailored Mackage cut. Most down coats at lower tiers are bulkier and lack the zip-out layer.
- Where is the Mackage Shyla 800 Fill Power Down Coat with Removable Quilted Bib cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $1,450.00, as of our latest check.
