thin puffer / quilted jackets /garments Explanation: I was interrupted while preparing to answer this but had reached the same conclusion Marie and Toni have just posted in the discussion area, so I'll go ahead with what I was going to say. "Pluma", masculine, must mean what is called a "plumífero": a quilted or "puffer" jacket: "Cómo lavar los 'plumas' Consejos para lavar nuestros plumíferos y que se queden como nuevos Estamos a punto de entrar en la primavera y, con ella, en el buen tiempo. Ya es hora de dejar atrás los edredones, los jerseis de lana y también los abrigos. Entre ellos, quizá los que primero guardemos en el armario para la próxima temporada sean los abrigos acolchados. Los conocidos como plumíferos o "plumas"." http://spbcontigo.es/es/noticias/como-lavar-los-plumas There is a Spanish company that specialises in this kind of recycling; in fact your text is quite probably related to it, so I'll suppress the name and disguise the URLs. "Discarded fishing nets [...] Usuahia Women´s Puffer Jacket Burgundy 235 GRAMS OF FISHING NETS" https://goo.gl/G2NpF2 In other words, they use recycled fishing nets to make the fabric for puffer jackets: "plumas" (masc.) "Finos" must mean "thin". "The thin-quilted jackets are musts in the spring and summer. Made of nylon, the jackets are extremely robust, as well as light," https://www.nickis.com/shop/en/bomboogie "Shop the latest thin puffer jackets on the world's largest fashion site." https://www.ssense.com/en-es?utm_source=polyvore.com&utm_med... I think it almost certainly refers to jackets. In theory it might include waistcoats or even longer coats, I suppose, so you might prefer to put "garments". But in any case it must be "los plumas finos" not "los plumas finas", and I don't believe it ought to be "las plumas finas" here. |
