Cold Korean Coat

I purchased a winter coat in the late 1980s.  It was made in Korea.  It is a cloth down filled coat. It has gotten old and worn, and even has paint splatters on it.  But it is warm.  I do not know much about Korea, but I knew even less when I bought the coat than I do now. Much of what I knew was from media: movies or the TV show M*A*S*H*, set in Korea.  I knew it could get cold in Korea.

Since then, I have learned that South Koreans like the mountains, and outdoor activities such as hiking. It stands to reason, then, that they can certainly make a very warm coat.  From my experience, they do know how to do that!
