Can anyone help me fluff up my jacket?

[Thankyou4calling]

Another very non PH thread but it may work.

I have a North Face jacket, the Nuptse puffa.

Unfortunately all the puff has gone.

I put it in the washing machine and then tumble dried it but all the feathers seem to have clogged into little balls so the jacket is now as flat as a pancake and really can't be worn.

Is there any way to restore it to its former glory.

Wash then tumble dry on a low heat on its own with a few tennis balls thrown in the dryer. Makes a right racket but works a treat for down jackets.

Google "fluffer" - it may be the service you need.

I'd like to see the tennis balls make a racket.

This but do it at a laundrette, the giant driers make a huge difference.

My wife has a RAB vest. She loves that jacket!!
We washed it an Nikwaxed it. It lost all its fluffiness.

We tumble dried on a low heat with 4 tennis balls (actual tennis balls). It works.

I find baking them in the oven for at least two hours makes them nice and fluffy.

Avoid the microwave.
