Distressed Raw Hem Denim Jacket | Blush Pink / S 100100481830915

Product overview

An easygoing, lived‑in denim jacket updated with a deliberately undone raw hem and authentic distressing for an urban, vintage‑inspired finish. Designed with a relaxed silhouette and a classic button‑front, this jacket reads as a wardrobe workhorse: layerable, breathable, and built to soften with wear. The washed finish and artful abrasions give instant character while roomy pockets and a straightforward closure keep it practical for everyday use.

Fabric & construction — what to expect

The textile is a cotton‑forward denim with a small synthetic component to help the garment retain shape and increase durability. Traditional denim construction (twill weave) delivers structure and a pleasing drape that becomes more comfortable over time. Distressing and the unfinished raw hem are applied as a finished detail rather than wear from use — they are intentional styling choices that will continue to evolve a little as the jacket is worn and washed.

Material background

• Cotton — a natural cellulosic fiber prized for breathability, comfort and the way it softens and develops character with repeated wear. It responds well to washing but can relax and shrink if not laundered carefully.
• Polyester (small percentage) — a synthetic fiber that adds tensile strength, helps the piece hold its shape, reduces excessive shrinkage and speeds up the break‑in period. Polyester also helps seams resist abrasion, but it means the fabric will have less natural stretch and may shed microfibers when washed.
• Distressing & wash processes — stone/enzyme washes and targeted sanding create the faded highlights and vintage patina; these finishes are part of the jacket’s look and will change subtly with repeated washing.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

How to measure — jacket and body

Use these step‑by‑step instructions to compare your measurements to the garment measurements shown on the product page. Measuring both your body and a jacket you already own that fits the way you like will give the most reliable sizing guidance.

How to measure your body

1. Chest/Bust: wrap a flexible tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor. Breathe normally — don’t hold the breath.
2. Shoulder: measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other across the top back where a shoulder seam would sit.
3. Sleeve length: with your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of your neck across the shoulder to the wrist bone (or from shoulder tip to wrist, depending on your preference).
4. Torso length: measure from the base of the neck (where a collar would sit) straight down to where you want the jacket hem to fall.
5. Try on the layers you intend to wear under the jacket (T‑shirt, sweater, etc.) and repeat the chest measurement if you’ll layer thicker pieces.

How to measure the jacket (flat)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and fasten any buttons.
2. Chest/bust: measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam, then double that number to get the full circumference.
3. Front length: measure from the base of the collar (center front) down to the hem.
4. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff edge.
5. Shoulder: measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

Sizing guideline: for a relaxed silhouette, aim for about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of positive ease at the chest. If you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, choose a size with 3–5 inches (8–13 cm) of ease. Because this fabric has little inherent stretch, if your measurements sit between sizes it’s usually safer to size up.

Fit notes & alteration tips

The jacket is intentionally relaxed — it’s cut to sit comfortably over layers without looking boxy. Because of the low stretch content, alterations that reduce width or change armhole size are straightforward for a tailor; however, the raw hem is a stylistic detail. Hemming it will change the edge’s appearance and may require either recreating a raw finish or finishing the hem for a cleaner look. Sleeve shortening and small tapering adjustments are common and easy for most tailors.

Model & visual reference

Specific model dimensions are not included here. For a reliable visual reference, pick a size using the measurement method above and consider whether you prefer a boxier, true relaxed look or a neater silhouette: choose your usual outerwear size for the designed relaxed fit, size down for a more fitted look, or size up to increase layering room.

Color, mood & how to combine the jacket

The washed denim color and distressed details give this jacket a casual, slightly vintage mood that pairs easily with both soft neutrals and saturated colors. Because the finish is textured and visually interesting, it behaves as a neutral in most outfits.

• Casual day: layer over a white tee, black skinny jeans or leggings and white sneakers for a timeless look.
• Weekend chic: pair with a striped tee, midi skirt and ankle boots — the contrast between a feminine skirt and the jacket’s edge reads modern.
• Denim on denim: choose bottoms in a darker or lighter wash to create contrast; avoid exact matches for a more curated effect.
• Smart‑casual: throw it over a button‑down and tailored trousers, finish with loafers or Chelsea boots to balance structure and ease.

Style & occasions

This jacket sits at the intersection of casual, street and vintage‑inspired styling. The raw hem and distressing lend attitude that works for everyday errands, concerts, travel and weekend gatherings. Dress it up a touch with polished accessories and tailored separates, or lean into the relaxed nature with joggers and sneakers.

Seasonal suitability

• Spring & fall: ideal as a central layering piece for cool mornings and evenings.
• Summer: great for cooler summer nights or air‑conditioned interiors.
• Winter: can be layered under a warm coat or worn with insulating layers, but it is not a stand‑alone option for very cold climates.

Care tips & care guide — keep it looking its best

Distressed denim and a raw hem require a little extra attention to maintain the intended look without accelerating wear.

1. Wash sparingly. Frequent washing speeds fading and fraying — spot clean whenever possible.
2. When needed, machine wash cold and inside out with like colors to protect the surface finish. Use a gentle cycle and a mild detergent.
3. Place the jacket in a mesh laundry bag to protect the raw hem and distressed areas from excess abrasion in the machine.
4. Avoid bleach and harsh stain removers that strip color. For spot stains, blot with a mild detergent solution and rinse promptly.
5. Tumble dry on low or, preferably, lay flat or hang to dry; reshape while damp. Excess heat can increase fraying and shrinkage.
6. To slow fraying at the raw hem, use a fabric fray sealant on the very edge (test on a hidden area first) or have a tailor apply a stitched reinforcement just inside the cut edge if you prefer a neater finish.
7. Remove pilling or loose threads with small scissors or a fabric shaver, taking care not to enlarge distressed holes.
8. To reduce microfibers entering wastewater, wash cold, use full loads and consider a microfiber‑catching wash bag or filter where possible.

Style tips — quick ideas

• Roll the sleeves to show layering and to emphasize the raw cuff edge.
• Balance the jacket’s casualness with one refined piece — a silk blouse, tailored pant or polished boot — for an elevated look.
• Accessorize with layered necklaces or a scarf to add texture and break up the denim field.
• Contrast textures: pair with leather, knit or satin for a modern juxtaposition.
• To lengthen the silhouette, wear the jacket open over a monochrome base and finish with ankle boots or a low heel.

FAQ

Is this jacket true to size?

It runs in a relaxed cut. Use the measurement instructions above and aim for 2–4 inches of positive ease at the chest for the intended relaxed fit. If you prefer a closer fit, choose the next size down; if you plan to layer bulky sweaters, size up.

Will the raw hem keep fraying?

The raw hem is designed to have an unfinished edge that may continue to soften and lose small threads over time. If you want to limit this, wash on gentle, use a mesh bag, or have a tailor stabilise the edge with discreet stitching.

Can I machine wash it?

Yes — cold, gentle cycle is recommended. Turn the jacket inside out and use a mesh bag for extra protection. Air drying will preserve color and reduce additional fraying.

Will the distressed areas grow larger with wear?

Distressed zones can open slightly with repeated wear and washing. Treat them gently when laundering and consider reinforcing them at a tailor if you want to limit enlargement.

Can I alter the jacket?

Common alterations (sleeve shortening, slight tapering) are straightforward. Hemming the raw edge will change the designed look, so discuss options with your tailor if you want to retain the aesthetic while adjusting length.

How do I remove small stains?

Blot liquids immediately. For grease, absorb with cornstarch then brush off. For other marks, use a mild detergent solution and dab gently; avoid aggressive scrubbing that can alter the distressed finish.

Final note

This jacket is designed to be an adaptable, style‑forward staple: the raw hem and distressing give instant personality while the cotton‑rich construction promises breathability and comfort. Follow the measuring and care guidance above to get the right fit and extend the life of the finish — it will look even better as it gently ages with you.
