Wholesale Outerwear and Down Jackets from Prato
Wool coats, down jackets, quilted jackets and parkas from Prato showrooms and factories, with filling and label checks and a volume estimate before you pay.
Prato has worked with wool for a very long time, so coats here are made at every price point: from wool-blend styles in wholesale showrooms to heavy carded-cloth coats made from local mills' fabrics. Alongside them you will find down jackets, quilted jackets with synthetic padding, parkas and gilets. Autumn-winter outerwear usually costs more than the rest of a range and takes up more space in a shipment, so a wrong choice here costs more. We buy outerwear for shops, boutiques and marketplace sellers and look at what photos do not show: shell and lining composition, type and amount of filling, quality of zips and seams. Before you pay we estimate the weight and volume of the order, so shipping costs do not come as a surprise.
What we do when buying outerwear
Selection for your climate and market
We pick coats, down jackets and parkas by weight, length and price, keeping in mind how cold your customers' winters are.
Shell, lining and filling composition
We compare the label with the supplier's data: wool percentage in a coat, lining fabric, type of padding or the down-to-feather ratio.
Filling check
We check that the filling is spread evenly across the baffles, that down is not poking through the fabric and that synthetic padding is not bunching in the corners.
Trims and seams
We check zips, snaps, hoods, cuff finishes and hems, and show the details on video in daylight.
Timing for the season
We plan the purchase so the order reaches you when the cold weather starts, not at the end of the season during the sales.
Packing and volume calculation
We pack tightly without harming the filling and calculate the actual and dimensional weight of the shipment in advance.

Questions about buying outerwear
When should I buy coats and down jackets for winter?
Autumn-winter collections from brands and factories are usually ordered between January and March for delivery in summer or early autumn. In pronto moda showrooms outerwear appears after the August holidays, and the main choice is from September to November. By December mostly leftover stock remains. To have the goods in store when the cold starts, allow time for inspection, consolidation and shipping.
How is down composition stated on the label?
In European practice, down and feather filling is stated as a percentage by weight, for example 80% down and 20% feather, following the EN 12934 standard. The standard is voluntary, but if a manufacturer refers to it, the composition has to comply. For synthetic padding we confirm the fibre and the weight in grams per square metre.
How much does an order weigh and how much space does it take?
A wool coat usually weighs more than a down jacket, while a down jacket takes up more space. Express carriers often charge by dimensional weight (length x width x height of the box in centimetres, divided by 5,000), so for light, bulky items it can exceed the actual weight. We give you exact figures for your order before dispatch.
Can down jackets be compressed for packing?
Items with synthetic padding usually tolerate tight packing well. Down jackets can be compressed too, but strong compression over a long period can temporarily reduce the loft of the down, so we match the packing to the transit time. Wool coats are packed so that no hard creases remain.
What is needed to import outerwear into Russia?
As of 2026, outerwear in Russia generally falls under TR CU 017/2011 (TR CU 007/2011 for children's clothing), requires a declaration of conformity and is on the list of goods subject to mandatory Chestny Znak marking. The declaration and marking codes are the importer's responsibility. We help with composition, labels and factory documents. Requirements may change, so confirm them with your customs representative.
Do you work with buyers from Russia and Belarus?
Yes, within EU rules. EU Regulations 833/2014 and 765/2006 ban exports to Russia and Belarus of clothing worth more than €300 per item, so we check the value of every item against this threshold and screen the parties to the deal against EU sanctions lists. We do not export goods covered by the bans. Payment terms are agreed individually through channels permitted by EU rules. This is not legal advice, and the rules are stated as of 2026.
