A quilted jacket is a type of outerwear that features a layer of insulation, typically in the form of down or synthetic fill, stitched in a pattern to create a quilted design. The stitching helps keep the insulation in place and gives the jacket a ‘puffy’ appearance.
Origins-
The concept of quilting dates back to ancient times, with evidence being found in Ancient Egypt. Initially quilting was used primarily for creating armour in the form of padded jackets.Â
Quilted clothing gained a lot of popularity in Europe when quilting techniques were utilised in fashionable garments for the upper classes of the society. Quilted waistcoats and petticoats were introduced combining style and functionality.
The quilted jacket as we know it, began in the early 20th Century. Eddie Bauer created the first down-insulated quilted jacket after nearly succumbing to hypothermia on a fishing trip. This gear revolutionised cold-weather gear by providing lightweight yet warm outerwear.
In the 1960’s, British brand Barbour popularised quilted jackets for outdoor activities such as hunting and horse riding. Their iconic diamond quilted jackets became synonyms with country life and outdoor activities.
Today, quilted jackets are a blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. Brands have incorporated advanced insulation materials, water resistant fabrics and stylish designs to cater to a wide range of activities and fashion.
