Pocketed Button Up Dropped Shoulder Denim Jacket | Cloudy Blue / S 100100750071844

Product overview

A modern take on a classic jean jacket: a relaxed, dropped-shoulder silhouette finished with a button-front and practical front pockets. The shorter torso length and roomy sleeves create an easy, slightly boxy profile that looks equally good over tees, hoodies or lightweight dresses. The fabric has a soft, drapey hand and a structured look rather than stretch—ideal when you want a laid-back outer layer that still reads polished.

Why it works

• Relaxed, wearable shape that layers effortlessly.
• Functional front pockets for everyday convenience.
• Button-front gives styling flexibility—wear closed for structure or open for an easy, casual layer.
• Shorter length pairs well with high-waisted bottoms and dresses for flattering proportions.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Soft, comfortable hand with fluid drape—feels lightweight and breathable in most climates.
• Holds dye well, so washes keep a vivid appearance when cared for properly.
• The small synthetic component adds durability and helps the jacket keep its shape longer than a completely natural fabric.
• Lightweight structure works well across seasons as a layering piece.

Cons

• Prone to creasing more than heavy denim; smoothing or steaming may be needed after washing.
• Minimal mechanical stretch—pick your size based on how much room you want underneath (sweaters vs tees).
• Requires gentle laundering to avoid shrinkage, loss of drape or premature wear.
• Synthetic content can make the fabric less breathable than pure natural fibers and may retain odors if not aired out regularly.

Materials — what they are and what to expect

The main fiber is a regenerated cellulose fiber (commonly sold as viscose/rayon family) that mimics the soft, breathable qualities of natural fibers with a silk-like drape. Variants of this fiber include modal and lyocell, which are produced using different processes and can be more durable or environmentally friendly. A small portion of synthetic fiber has been blended in to boost strength, abrasion resistance and shape retention.

Practical points: the cellulose-based portion gives a cool, soft hand and excellent dye uptake, while the synthetic fraction reduces wrinkling and improves longevity. Environmentally, regenerated cellulose fibers depend on the process used and source of the wood pulp; recycled synthetics cut down on virgin plastic use if labeled accordingly.

How to measure

Measuring the jacket (flat)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and fasten the front buttons so the shape is natural. Smooth out wrinkles but do not stretch the fabric.
2. Chest/bust: measure straight across the front from side seam to side seam just under the armholes. Double that measurement to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder: measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. If the style has a dropped shoulder with no visible seam, measure from the point where the sleeve fabric meets the body across the back at the top.
4. Sleeve: measure from the shoulder seam (or center back neck to cuff for dropped-shoulder styles) down to the end of the cuff.
5. Length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (or center back neck for consistency) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem and cuff openings: measure across the hem or cuff edge to understand how the jacket will sit over garments or around wrists.

Measuring your body

1. Bust/chest: wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and breathing normally.
2. Shoulder width: measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across the back.
3. Sleeve length (for fit): measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder and down the arm to the wrist (or from shoulder edge to wrist if you prefer).
4. Torso length: measure from the base of the neck down to where you would like the jacket to finish.

How to use these measurements to pick the right size

Compare your body measurements (or a similar jacket that fits well laid flat) to the garment measurements. Add “positive ease” to your bust/chest number depending on how you want it to fit:

• Fitted look: add about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of ease.
• Relaxed / casual layer: add 3–5 inches (7.5–13 cm) for comfortable movement over t-shirts and light sweaters.
• Heavy layering (thick sweaters): add 5–8 inches (13–20 cm).

Because this jacket has limited stretch, if you are between sizes and plan to wear bulky layers underneath, choose the larger size.

Fit notes

• Dropped-shoulder construction gives a relaxed, slouchy sleeve head and a roomier upper arm—expect a casual, slightly oversized look.
• Shorter body length is designed to hit at or just above the hip on most heights—pair with high-waisted bottoms for balanced proportions.
• Little intrinsic stretch: buy for the amount of room you want rather than relying on the fabric to stretch out with wear.

Model information (how to use imagery as a reference)

When product images include a model, the photos are intended to show proportion and styling rather than exact fit for every body. Typical catalog models are taller and wear smaller sizes than most consumers—use the garment measurements and the model reference (if provided on the product page) as a guide. If a model's height and the size they are wearing are not listed, compare the jacket to a similar piece in your wardrobe for the best size decision.

Color & how to combine the jacket

Denim-style jackets come in a range of washes and tones. Here are pairing ideas for common washes:

• Medium indigo: classic with white tees, khaki chinos or black slim jeans. Add brown leather boots and a tan belt for a timeless look.
• Light wash: summer-friendly with pastels, floral dresses or white jeans; finish with canvas sneakers or espadrilles.
• Dark/black wash: smart-casual when paired with tailored trousers or a monochrome outfit—add loafers or ankle boots for polish.
• Vintage/stonewash: leans into a retro vibe—pair with graphic tees, pleated skirts or cargo pants to play up the throwback style.

Styling tips: contrast washes for a double-denim outfit, or keep everything tonal for an elongated look. Accessorize with scarves, statement pins, or belts to define the waist on boxier shapes.

Style & occasions

• Everyday casual: errands, coffee meet-ups, weekend walks.
• Smart-casual: layer over a button-down and cropped trousers for a relaxed office look.
• Layering piece: works over hoodies, sweaters and dresses—perfect for transitional months and cooler evenings.

Season suitability

Best for spring and fall as a transitional outer layer. Also suitable for cool summer nights and can be used as a mid-layer under a coat in winter. Because it’s not a heavy insulated jacket, plan to add insulating layers in very cold weather.

Care tips — quick

• Wash gently and with like colors to prevent color transfer.
• Turn the jacket inside out before laundering to protect the surface and hardware.
• Avoid high heat when drying—reshape while damp and finish by hanging to maintain the silhouette.
• Steam or press lightly to smooth wrinkles rather than aggressive ironing.
• Spot-clean minor stains promptly to avoid full washes.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. First wear: let the jacket air for a few hours to reduce any packing odors and minimize the need for an immediate wash.
2. Spot treatment: for small stains, gently blot with a mild detergent solution; avoid vigorous rubbing that can damage fibers.
3. Washing: use a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Fasten buttons and wash inside out. Wash with similar colors—darker items may still release dye on the first wash.
4. Drying: air-dry on a hanger or flat surface; if using a dryer, choose a low-heat setting and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling. Reshape while damp.
5. Ironing/steaming: use a low-to-medium heat setting and a pressing cloth for safety. Steaming is preferred for delicate, drapey fabrics.
6. Storage: hang on a shaped or wide hanger to protect shoulder lines. Avoid prolonged sunlight to prevent fading. Fold for compact storage if necessary, but give it time on a hanger before wearing to remove fold lines.
7. Minor repairs: small snags, loose threads or a missing button can be fixed quickly—attend to them early to avoid bigger repairs later.

FAQ

Is the jacket true to size?

The cut is relaxed because of the dropped-shoulder design. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; if you want to layer bulky items underneath, size up.

Does the fabric stretch?

The material has little natural stretch; choose your size based on the intended amount of layering rather than expecting the fabric to give.

Will the color transfer in the wash?

New, dyed garments can release some color on the first few washes. Wash separately or with similar tones for the first cycle, and turn the piece inside out to protect the surface.

Can I wear it in winter?

As a stand-alone piece it suits cool, not frigid, conditions. Use it as a mid-layer under a warm coat or over a chunky sweater for colder days.

Is professional cleaning required?

Not necessarily—gentle home laundering is usually fine. However, for stubborn stains or to preserve finish and shape over time, professional cleaning is an option.

Can this be altered?

Simple alterations like shortening sleeves or hem adjustments are possible. Because of the dropped-shoulder construction, more extensive shoulder reshaping is more complex—consult a tailor for major changes.

Style tips

• Weekend casual: layer over a white tee, pair with high-waisted jeans and white sneakers; cuff sleeves to show off a bracelet or watch.
• Smart-casual office: throw over a fine-gauge knit or button-down and slim trousers; add loafers or low-heeled boots.
• Date night or feminine contrast: wear over a slip dress with ankle boots—belt the jacket at the waist for an hourglass shape.
• Streetwear edge: layer a hoodie underneath, pair with cargo pants and chunky sneakers for an on-trend layered look.
• Double-denim: vary washes—pair a medium wash jacket with darker denim bottoms for contrast instead of matching tones exactly.
