Baffle geometry is measurable from a flat frame
Count the horizontal channels, then look at the spacing between them: a well-built down jacket keeps the same pitch across the chest, the sleeve and the hem, and the stitching sits under tension without puckering the shell. Ask for the jacket flat with a tape across the chest, then a close frame of one baffle seam. Even spacing and a straight stitch line are the two things a photograph records reliably.
