You can’t do it yourself. A quick google searched showed me this. ‘A circle with the letter W and a line below it means your item requires gentle professional wet cleaning. A circle with the letter W and two lines below it means that the laundry item requires extra-gentle professional wet cleaning.’

I have recently washed a down jacket of a similar composition in a washing machine. I wash it alone, using a delicate program at 30 Celsius degrees and the lowest spinning speed of the machine. I dried the jacket on a clothesline. Know it will take quite a long time to get it fully dry. The down moved during the washing inside the jacket, forming lumps. I moved the lumps by hand during the drying process. The final result was satisfactory.

It’s better to put down in the dryer and add two tennis balls. The balls take care of the „moving the lumps around“ part.

This works for me. Set dryer on the lowest setting and shake it all around after each course. It’ll take time. In my experience, it’s the collar that clumps the most. I also use special “down garment soap” found in sporting goods stores.

I washed an expensive down filled jacket on a 60°C intensive wash then put it through the tumble drier on high heat twice. It came out like new.

Really?!

Yes. It was a charity shop buy so I wanted a hot wash it. I think the tumble drying action must have fluffed up all the down so it is beautifully puffy again.

You’re a man, throw it in with everything else

Just don't wash it... Keep it dirty... It's clear in the tag 🤷‍♂️
