Quality of moncler outerwear - Page 2

I have two; the Tany classic quilted down jacket (black) and a reversible vest. Neither have the crests/logos/patches on them, so I like how they have a luxe/minimal sort of vibe.

I find the quality of both to be very good; excellent materials, have held up well (now 6-7 years old), Lampo zippers, etc.

I was tempted last winter by one of their down jackets, but these jackets and vests were too popular and flashy in Europe last winter. Very light and warm. I've seen many people actually skiing in them.... I have this summer Chamois wind breaker, but in brown. http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp...00x200&s=0&r=1 I paid 50% of retail (from about 750 USD). slim fitting (mine is size 3 - about 40 US), nice quality, the branding is more discrete. Styling similar to the Belstaff motor jackets.

Is Moncler made in China? I've seen an assortment of Moncler stuff at these small Chinese shops that also sells Paul Smith shirts, Ralph Lauren and that kind of vague factory surplus stuff.

Last year on Saks.com, Moncler went 40% off in November. Depending where you are they may not charge tax either. Also 10% off coupon when you sign up for Saks email spams.

Good quality, the jacket's are shorter than average.

I'm resurrecting this old thread, as I was looking around for how to clean these things. I was a little skeptical of the hand washing thing but I suppose it makes sense. I'm worried that the jacket will not regain its old shape, however.

I agree that the quality is excellent. My down jacket is about three years old and looks beastly still. It's good for me since they're definitely cut trim and shorter for a modern silhouette. Someone was posting about Moncler made in China. I've never seen that. They're a made in Eastern Europe or Italy brand. There's a notorious market for fake Monclers, though.

It boggles my mind that someone said their Moncler was not warm? I have found them to be warmer by far than anything I own. I've tried on some Canada Goose stuff recently since everyone's been hyping them up, but I couldn't get into the cut. It was too regular-guy, "Hard Wear" for me.

not sure this thread needs to be resurrected.. shiny colorful slim puff jackets are kinda played out, today street fashion has shifted towards heritage, workwear influence and muted colors which is why CG is gaining attention..

about warmth, moncler aren't bad for a fashion jacket and sipping a moka latte on the ski resort terrace but you aren't about to see canadian special forces or antarctica expeditions done in them, which is what CG can claim..

besides moncler quality has gone way way down.. 5 years ago they were made in italy, 2 years ago eastern europe, now they're definitely is some made in china crap including in the uber-premium moncler V collection.. and i'm not talking fakes !!

I don't know if it's legitimately made in China, but the counterfeit shops in Shanghai were overrun with them this autumn. All had convincing looking labels, tags, holograms, documents and receipts.

Good call. I didn't realize there was a MIC line.

I definitely get the vibe that shiny puffers are out. Puffers make me think of homelessness, in fact.

I have a new Field Jacket from them that has an inner puff lining that's discreet, but it seems everyone in NYC has the exact same style. heh

This. Plus I fucking hate shinny puffers. I think they are very girly looking. I have an amazing Patagonia down coat but it sure as hell ain't shiny.

I still like some Moncler coats but for the price you can almost always do much better IMO.
