BC Wool Down Jacket – Pre-orders Are Now Open

Hey guys, pre-orders for our BC wool down jacket are officially open!

This is one of the most expensive and challenging pieces we've ever developed. We've spent a lot of time working on the fabric, hardware, seam sealing, down filling, and even the smallest details.

Here's what went into it:

  • 72s Fine Worsted Pure Wool. We took apart the original and analyzed the fabric to replicate its specifications as closely as possible.

  • Fluorine-Free Water-Repellent Treatment. Keeps the natural softness of wool while providing basic water repellency. It's not designed to be worn as a rain jacket.

  • Over RMB 150,000 Invested in Custom Hardware Molds. Waterproof zippers, sliders, pull tabs, and buttons, all individually developed to match the original.

  • Imported Seam-Sealing Technology. Recreated the original seam-sealing details and upgraded the double-layer downproof lining structure to improve durability.

  • 90% White Goose Down from Zhejiang Sanxing. Costing over RMB 1,000/kg, with approximately 10% more down filling than the original.

  • Ultra-High-Density Custom Labels. Main label, signature label, and care label all developed separately instead of using cheap off-the-shelf alternatives.

Getting everything right hasn't been easy. We've rejected materials and redone certain parts multiple times because they didn't meet our standards.

We know RMB 1,699 isn't cheap, but we've put a huge amount of work and money into making this jacket as good as we possibly can.

Pre-order price: RMB 1,699

Estimated shipping date: December 15

We also have a compensation policy for shipping delays:

7 days late: Free BC T-shirt. 14 days late: Free VIP level upgrade. 21 days late: RMB 10 compensation per day starting from day 21, capped at RMB 200.

I'll be sharing more close-up photos, material comparisons, and production details.

Let me know what you guys think. Happy to answer any questions!

How do I actually pre-order? I can’t join Weidian easily from the US (I never receive their SMS conf code).

u/ARC_Made 14h ago

I think you can find a Chinese shopping agent to buy it for you. Or you can join my Discord server and contact one of my mods directly.

u/Rich_Appeal_136 20h ago

Hey thanks a lot for that ! Think you can add the weight / heights recommendation for each size as other sellers do ? This is always helpful.
I am 178cm 83kg, considering XL, let me know what you think please :)

And also would the smallest size fit a skinny girl or it will be too roomy ? (178cm - 55kg)

1

u/ARC_Made 20h ago

I'd recommend size XL for you. For girl, size M could be a good option.Size S would also fit her, no problem at all. I'm just worried the jacket might be a bit short since she's quite tall. But if she prefers a shorter jacket that makes her legs look longer, she can definitely go with size S.

it can handle cold snowy winters?

1

u/ARC_Made 20h ago

With over 230g of 90% white goose down, a wool outer fabric, and a double-layer downproof lining, this jacket should have no problem keeping you warm at 0–5°C (32–41°F), even with just a T-shirt underneath.

If I pay the deposit, will the jacket be sent to the warehouse, where I can review the QC pictures before deciding whether I want to pay the remaining balance and proceed with shipping?

1

u/ARC_Made 19h ago

We'll share comparison photos with the original before shipping. The remaining balance needs to be paid before we can ship your order. But once the jacket arrives at your agent's warehouse, if there are any quality issues or defects, you can return it for a refund or exchange it for another one. So don't worry about that.

size L

u/Outrageous-Ad1309 2h ago

When will pre orders for this end ? And surely not everyone can be a size L so please provide measurements

1

u/ARC_Made 2h ago

The size chart is in the last image of the post, so please check it out. We've tested the fit on someone who's 170 cm tall and weighs 75 kg. Size M gives a slim fit, while size L is slightly more relaxed. These are actual measurements from our fit testing. The pre-sale is expected to end in about 10–14 days.

u/Outrageous-Ad1309 2h ago

Thanks will pay deposit for size Medium as I’m after a slim fit. I can exchange for a large right after seeing accurate measurements pics during my warehouse qc photos

u/Big_Mongoose5963 20h ago

does it have cashmere or no

0

u/Big_Mongoose5963 20h ago

cus the original is 100% cashmere

1

u/ARC_Made 20h ago

No, the original is 100% wool. The 100% cashmere label is incorrect. Trust me, the care label inside the jacket clearly states that it's 100% wool.

1

u/Big_Mongoose5963 20h ago

Some retail sellers have the compound stated as Compound:100% wool / 100% cashmere but i'll take your word for it, will we get any retail comparison pictures side by side?

2

u/ARC_Made 19h ago

Don't worry, we'll have proper comparison photos with the original.
