there's lot in the market maybe you could ask some laundry shop for help...
You can wash such coats but you really need to tumble dry them. Do so on a warm setting and check often, giving it a good shake each time and dry inside out. Add some tumble dryer sheets with a nice fragrance to add a nice pong. Feathers do pong when wet. All duvet manufacturers tumble dry to get the best, fluffy results, your coat will be warmer too if you do this. Dry on it's own and maybe inside an old duvet cover to prevent damage.How do i wash a down feathered coat???
Never wash Down. The feathers themselves can smell, always dry clean no matter what it says.
try the dry cleanersHow do i wash a down feathered coat???
Wash the coat again using a mild detergent. When you place the coat in the dryer, you'll need to also put something like a tennis shoe in the dryer as well. As the tennis shoe hits the coat, it will help break apart wet down feather clusters. If these clusters are not broken apart, they will mold and be smelly. It will take quite a while to dry. Just feeling the outside of the coat isn't enough. You'll need to check for any lumps of feathers. Your coat isn't dry until all the lumps of feathers disappear.
do what the birds do have a dust bath!
pearsonal experiance answer ir rite one but u could add sheet of conditioner to the drying good luck
Don't - take it to the cleaners.
Try using a decent smelling detergent and hand wash it in your bathtub. Then let it air dry outside.
gain, or Tide w/febreeze smells really good
Rewash it and add Downy fabric softener, or any other brand to the rinse cycle, also wash three tennis balls with it, and place them all in the dryer together, the tennis balls re-fluff the feathers.

You can add fabric softeners sheets also if you like.
