There is an historical clothing exhibition in the British Museum where a feathered jacket is on display. This jacket was owned by a Japanese ruler who lived from 1536 to 1598. The jacket was donated to the museum during the nineteenth century by an English lord and it has been on display there ever since. People have been using duck and goose down for bedding and other pieces of clothing for centuries.
The down vest and outerwear has been manufactured and distributed in the United States from 1911. However, Eddie Bauer was the first person to make a goose down quilted jacket back in 1940. He came up with this idea when he was out catching hypothermia during the winters on a fishing trip. He was contacted by the Army Air Corps to make more of these jackets for pilots in order to protect them from the chilly weather in high altitudes. After the war had ended he started making women's clothing.
