I recently bought a used Feathered Friends Swallow sleeping bag that was about 15 years old. The original owner (who worked for Feathered Friends) had the bag over filled with the best European down they had at the time, around 850 fill. The sleeping bag still looks lofty, and seems warm. The problem is, last night I was looking it over, and I found about 10 feathers poking through the shell, mostly along the seams. I reached from the inside and pulled all of the feathers back in. My question is, should I be concerned? They may have just been occasional feathers that built up during storage. On the other hand, they have poked through just from me handling it. Prior to my purchase, it had been stored in a cotton storage sack for 2 years. Is there any sealant I can use on the seams? Or something I can wash it with to prevent leakage? TIA for answers.
