Button Down Long Sleeve Jacket | Black / S 100100690274222

Overview

A versatile button‑down long sleeve jacket that lives between a classic overshirt and a lightweight jacket — think of it as a "shacket" you can use year‑round. Built with a soft, natural‑fiber dominated cloth and reinforced with a small synthetic component for durability and shape retention, it delivers casual polish, practical pockets and comfortable mid‑weight coverage for layering. Wear it open over a tee, buttoned as a shirt, or layered over a sweater for cooler days.

Fabric Advantages — Pros & Cons

About the Materials

This jacket is crafted mostly from a natural cotton fiber with a modest portion of a synthetic polymer blended in. Cotton brings softness, breathability and a natural texture favored for casual jackets and shirts. The synthetic element (a common polyester‑type yarn) improves tensile strength, reduces stretching and helps the piece recover after washing. The result is a comfortable, approachable fabric with better long‑term performance than pure cotton.

Environmental notes: conventional cotton uses substantial water and agricultural inputs; polyester is derived from petrochemicals and is not biodegradable. To reduce the garment's environmental impact, wash cold, use full loads, and consider a laundry filter or bag to capture microfibers.

How to Measure — Body and Garment

How to Choose the Right Size — Fit Guidance

Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (or to a similar jacket you already own). General ease guidelines:

• Close (shirt‑like) fit: choose a garment with about 0–2 inches of extra chest room.
• Layered or relaxed fit: allow 2–4 inches of extra chest room so you can comfortably wear a tee and a thin sweater underneath.
• Heavy layering: allow 4+ inches if you plan to wear thick knits or multiple layers underneath.

Shoulder alignment is crucial: the shoulder seam should sit near the edge of your shoulder bone. If the seam rides up your arm, the jacket is too small; if it droops far down the arm, the jacket may appear oversized.

Model & Visual Reference

For photography and fit reference, e‑commerce models are typically between 5'7"–5'11" wearing a medium to show a relaxed, wearable silhouette. Use the product imagery and the garment measurements to confirm how long and roomy the jacket will be on you — height and torso length change where the hem lands.

Color & How to Combine This Jacket

This style works exceptionally well in neutral and earthy colors — think olive, tan, navy, charcoal and black — because of its utilitarian silhouette. Styling ideas:

• Casual everyday: white tee, slim blue jeans, low‑profile sneakers.
• Smart casual: lightweight knit or button‑down, chinos and desert boots or loafers.
• Layered autumn/winter: hoodie or chunky sweater underneath, rugged boots and a beanie.
• Feminine contrast: over a midi dress with ankle boots and a slim belt for waist definition.

When pairing colors: neutrals pair effortlessly; for a pop of color consider a deep burgundy scarf or a patterned knit under the jacket. Textures (corduroy trousers, denim) create visual interest while keeping the look grounded.

Style & Use Cases

The button‑down long sleeve jacket lives at the intersection of utility and minimalism. Its shirt‑style collar and front buttons keep it tidy, while the pocket placements give it a functional, slightly utilitarian edge — excellent for commuting, travel and weekend errands. It also doubles as a light outer layer on mild days.

Seasonal Guide

• Spring / Fall: ideal — mid‑weight fabric is perfect for variable temperatures.
• Early Winter: works well when layered over sweaters and under a heavier coat.
• Summer: comfortable for cool evenings but may be too warm for hot daytime weather.

Care Tips & Fit Notes

Care Guide — To Keep It Lovely Longer

1. Pre‑treat stains with a gentle stain remover or a little liquid detergent; dab instead of rubbing.
2. Turn the jacket inside out before washing to reduce abrasion on the outside face.
3. Wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash if you want extra caution.
4. Use a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction and capture loose fibers.
5. Tumble dry low briefly to reduce wrinkles or hang to air dry; avoid high heat which can shrink cotton or damage synthetic fibers.
6. Store on a shaped hanger to maintain shoulder structure; avoid folding for long periods if you want to prevent creasing.
7. Replace or reinforce buttons and fix loose threads promptly — small repairs greatly extend a garment’s life.

Style Tips

• For a modern casual look: leave it unbuttoned, roll the sleeves once, pair with a graphic tee and sneakers.
• For smarter occasions: button up, wear a thin merino or cotton sweater underneath and add chinos.
• For travel: use the front pockets for essentials (phone, small wallet) and layer with a packable puffer if temperatures drop.
• To create a tailored shape: add a slim belt over the jacket at the waist for a feminine silhouette.
