Analysis : Eddie Bauer -Oversized Down Throw

I am surprised to see this down throw is having over 2800 + five star good comments, while the firs time I see it. Here is the product link: https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/82203546/oversized-down-throw?sp=1&color=Admiralblue&size=ONE%20SIZE

It is not a regular outdoor down throw blanket design, much different than what we can see from the market outdoor fleece blanket.

See its description : It’s ultralight, and at the same time, ultrawarm. Insulated with Premium Down, our throw is perfect for the living room, guest room, or anywhere else someone wants to relax after a day full of outdoor activities. Soft polyester shell is smooth on one side, fleece on the other. Comes gift-ready, rolled and tied with a ribbon.

We can get some great information from this descriptions and features :

Shell : Soft and smooth Polyester — It does not offer clear fabric materials, but I guess the thread count is over 380 T, because the fabric must be down proof. Besides, as a kind of blanket can be used for outdoor activities, the shell must be water- repellent DWR coated.

Insulated：550F RDS down , though it does not indificate the specific down composition, I can guess it is filled with duck down 90% down + 10 % feather, as less than this down rate, the filling power can not acheive 550F.
RDS: Responsible Down Standard down, certifies products that contain feathers and down from certified farms. It ensures that the feathers and the duvet used in the padded products derive from geese and ducks raised in compliance with the principles and criteria of animal welfare.

Interior: Fleece, from product picture, I can tell it is polyester sherpa fleece at around 300 GSM
polyester sherpa fleece : Sherpa is a curly piled fabric structure made of synthetic yarns like acrylic or polyester. The texture is soft and fluffy, useful in jackets resembling wool or sheepskin on the piled side. Sherpa fleece is a knitted type of fabric usable in line clothing and winter wear.Both fleece and Sherpa materials are 100% synthetic materials that have features of wool. In fact, sherpa is a type of fleece material. The main difference between fleece and Sherpa blanket is that Sherpa blankets often tend to be softer and warmer than fleece blankets

Quilting: It apots a classic quiting pattern -diamond. So if you are knowing more in the duck down products lines, you will find that it is not a normal thing for quitling down products, normally, down products (like bedding, blankets) are sewed by stitching machine but not quilting machine. Clever as Eddie Bauer, I guess they must use the smallets 14 quilting needles and stitching threads to make the quliting holes as the smallest as possible. In addition, while we enlarge the blanket picture, we find that the interior fleece does not have quilting lines, so how could they carry out the down filling ? I assume there has one layer lining fabric bewteen the down and fleece.

Binding：It is the best part I like, this blanket is binded with fabric wrapping way, it is solid and exquisite, the binding makes this blanket vibrant.
