The Fabric: 100% Polyester

This jacket is crafted from 100% polyester, a fabric chosen for its unique balance of performance and style. Polyester is a synthetic fiber renowned for its strength and resilience, making this garment a durable and long-lasting addition to your collection.

Fabric Advantages & Considerations

• Pros:
  • Durability: Highly resistant to abrasion, stretching, and shrinking, ensuring the jacket maintains its shape over time.
  • Wrinkle Resistance: Naturally resists creasing, making it an excellent travel-friendly piece that looks great right out of the suitcase.
  • Color Retention: The fibers hold dye exceptionally well, so the vibrant plaid pattern will resist fading wash after wash.
  • Easy Care: It's a low-maintenance fabric that is machine washable and dries quickly, simplifying your laundry routine.
• Cons:
  • Breathability: As a synthetic fiber, it is less breathable than natural materials like cotton or wool. It's best for cooler weather where trapping warmth is a benefit.
  • Static Prone: In very dry conditions, polyester can build up static electricity. This can be easily managed with a dryer sheet or anti-static spray.

Style, Color & Pairing

The Style: Effortless & On-Trend

The "longline" cut is a key feature, extending past the hips to create a sleek, slimming effect. This jacket features a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders, contributing to a comfortable and contemporary look. It's a versatile piece that functions as a light coat, making it perfect for transitional weather and layering.

The Color: Timeless Plaid

Plaid is a perennial favorite that never goes out of style. Its versatile pattern can be dressed up or down, fitting seamlessly into various aesthetics from preppy and classic to edgy and grunge. To make the jacket the centerpiece of your look, combine it with solid-colored basics.

• For a classic look: Pair it with a simple white or black t-shirt, dark-wash skinny jeans, and ankle boots.
• For a modern edge: Layer it over a black turtleneck and faux leather leggings, finished with combat boots.
• For a soft, casual feel: Combine with a cream-colored knit sweater, light-wash denim, and comfortable sneakers.

Sizing & Fit Guide

Fit Notes

This jacket is designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit. The generous measurements in the shoulders and bust create a laid-back drape. If you are between sizes, consider sizing down for a more tailored look or sticking to your usual size for the intended oversized style, perfect for layering over sweaters.

How to Find Your Perfect Fit

To ensure you choose the right size, we recommend measuring yourself with a soft tape measure and comparing it to the product measurements provided. For the best results:

1. Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under your arms and across your back. Compare this to the jacket's bust measurement, ensuring there are a few extra inches for comfortable movement and layering.
2. Shoulders: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the other across your back. Note that this jacket has dropped shoulders, so the shoulder measurement will be wider than your own to create that relaxed look.
3. Sleeve Length: Measure from your shoulder tip down to your wrist. Compare with the sleeve length in the chart.
4. Length: Stand straight and measure from the base of the back of your neck down to see where the jacket's front length will fall on you.

Seasonal Wear

With its "Normal" thickness, this jacket is an ideal transitional piece. It shines during the crisp days of Autumn and the mild weather of Spring. It's also a fantastic layering item for warmer Winter climates or for indoor wear when you need an extra layer of warmth and style.

Care Guide: Keep It Lovely Longer

Following these instructions will help maintain the quality and appearance of your jacket for years to come.

• Washing: Always machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Washing in cold water protects the polyester fibers from heat damage and helps preserve the color. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to reduce pilling.
• Drying: Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting possible. High heat can damage or even melt polyester fibers. To prevent wrinkles, remove it from the dryer promptly. For best results, consider hanging it to air dry.
• Ironing: If needed, use a steamer or iron on a very low (synthetic) setting. Never place a hot iron directly on the fabric; use a pressing cloth between the iron and the jacket.
• Do Not: Do not use bleach, as it can damage the fabric and cause discoloration. Do not dry clean unless necessary.
