	I heard that most of the feathers used in down coats comes
from China. You see, they eat a lot more duck over there and have
plenty of duck feathers to spare.  I'd imagine that only the most
expensive down coats are made with eider duck down (the best) since
eider ducks are pretty rare these days. If you look at the labels
on many down coats you will find that they are made in China, so
this seems to back up the information I've heard.
