Distressed Striped Long Sleeve Denim Jacket | White / S 100100282845459

Overview

A modern take on a timeless denim jacket: this piece combines a lived‑in, distressed finish with a subtle striped texture for visual interest. It’s a structured, hip‑length outer layer designed to behave like a classic denim jacket while giving outfits an elevated, fashion‑forward edge. Lightweight enough for layering, it works as a go‑to topper from cool mornings through crisp evenings.

Fabric & Materials — What it means for you

The jacket is crafted primarily from natural cotton fibers with a small amount of synthetic fiber blended in. In practice this produces the breathable, comfortable hand you expect from denim, while the added synthetic fibers improve shape retention and reduce excessive shrinkage and creasing after repeated wear.

A few technical notes:

• Denim is a twill‑woven textile — durable and able to hold structure and distressing details well.
• The small synthetic component gives the jacket slightly better recovery (it bounces back into shape faster than 100% cotton denim) and helps seams and collar maintain form.
• Because it’s a woven fabric with minimal mechanical stretch, the jacket fits more like traditional denim — expect structure rather than cling.

Fabric Advantages — Pros

• Comfortable and breathable for all‑day wear.
• Durable construction withstands regular use and travel.
• Holds its tailored silhouette — collar, shoulders and hem stay defined.
• Distressed and stripe details provide instant style without additional styling effort.
• Easy to style: works with casual and smart‑casual looks.

Fabric Considerations — Cons

• Limited natural stretch — if you prefer a very flexible fit or intend to layer bulky knits, consider sizing up.
• Denim can fade or transfer dye when new; take care during early washes and wear.
• Distressed edges can relax over time and may need occasional attention to keep them neat.
• The synthetic portion slightly reduces pure natural‑fiber breathability compared with 100% cotton.

How to measure the jacket (product measurements)

To confirm the jacket’s listed dimensions or to compare it with garments you already own, measure the actual jacket laid flat on a table:

• Chest/Bust (body width): Measure from armpit seam to armpit seam and double that number for circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the cuff. For another common method, measure from the center back at the base of the neck to the wrist for finished sleeve length.
• Jacket length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (just beside the collar) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem.

Always lay the garment flat and smooth out folds (don’t stretch) before measuring. Record in inches or centimeters for easy comparison.

How to measure yourself for the right fit

1. Chest/Bust: Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest or bust, keeping it level and snug but not tight. Breathe normally while measuring.
2. Shoulder width: Find the bony points at the ends of your shoulders and measure straight across your back between them.
3. Arm length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder point down to the wrist bone.
4. Torso length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (next to base of neck) to where you’d like the jacket to finish at the hip.

Compare your body measurements to the product’s posted measurements (or to a similar jacket you own laid flat). If you like to layer mid‑weight knits under a structured denim jacket, add 1–2 inches (2–5 cm) of ease at the chest for comfortable layering; if you prefer a fitted look, choose your measured size.

Fit Notes

• Designed with a classic, regular silhouette — structured shoulders and a hip‑length cut.
• Because the fabric has minimal mechanical stretch, the garment will not noticeably expand while worn; consider your layering needs when choosing a size.
• If you are between sizes and want a relaxed/oversized look, size up. For a tailored appearance, select the size closest to your true chest/bust measurement.

Color & Styling — How to combine this jacket

The finish reads as a mid‑tone denim with contrasted, lived‑in highlights and a faint linear motif that adds texture without being overpowering. It’s an easy neutral — pairs well with both warm and cool palettes.

• Casual weekend: white tee, black or dark indigo jeans (choose a different wash for denim‑on‑denim), and white sneakers.
• Boho / dressy casual: layer over a floral midi dress with ankle boots and a leather crossbody.
• Office‑casual: smart knit or button‑up, tapered trousers and loafers for a refined contrast to the jacket’s edge.
• Street style: hoodie or oversized tee beneath the jacket, cargo pants, and chunky boots.
• Accessories: neutral scarves, simple gold or silver jewelry, or a belt cinched over the jacket to shape the waist.

Seasonal Use

Best suited for transitional weather — spring and fall — when you need a reliable mid‑weight layer. It also performs well on cool summer evenings and can be used in mild winter climates when layered over warm sweaters.

Care Tips & Quick Guide

• Wash inside‑out on a cold, gentle cycle to preserve color and reduce abrasion on distressed areas.
• Use mild detergent formulated for colored or denim garments; avoid bleach and strong oxidizers.
• Air‑dry when possible: hang or lay flat to keep the silhouette crisp. If you use a machine dryer, tumble on low and remove while slightly damp to finish air drying and minimize stiffness.
• Iron inside‑out on medium/low heat if needed; avoid ironing directly over distressed openings.
• Spot clean small marks to reduce the number of full washes — less washing extends the garment’s life and color.

Care Guide — To keep it lovely longer

1. First wears: wear the jacket a few times before the first wash to minimize dye transfer onto light clothing.
2. First wash: wash the jacket alone or with similar colors to avoid color bleed onto lighter fabrics.
3. Use a laundry bag for delicate trims and fasten buttons/zippers to reduce snagging.
4. Repair early: reinforce any loose threads around distressed areas and patch small holes before they grow larger.
5. Storage: hang on a broad‑shouldered hanger or fold gently to avoid shoulder bumps; keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to minimize fading.

Model & Imagery Notes

Product imagery is intended to illustrate fit and styling — models are chosen to show how the jacket sits on a mid‑range body type and are typically photographed wearing a mid‑range size to present a standard fit. Use the product measurements and the measuring instructions above to match the look to your proportions, and check image captions on the product page that often note the size the model is wearing.

Style Tips

• Mix textures: pair the jacket with a soft knit or silk blouse to balance the rugged finish.
• Denim layering: avoid matching washes head‑to‑toe; contrast light vs. dark to create depth.
• Cuff and crop: roll the sleeves and optionally tuck the front into high‑waist jeans for a modern, cropped visual.
• Statement jewelry: a bold necklace or hoop earrings lifts a simple tee + jacket outfit.
• Footwear swap: switch from sneakers to ankle boots to move from day to evening quickly.

FAQ

Does the jacket have stretch?

It’s a woven denim construction with minimal natural give; plan for limited stretch and size for your preferred layering allowance.

Will the distressed areas become larger over time?

Distressing is finished for durability, but raw edges can fray slightly with heavy use. Simple care and occasional reinforcement will keep them tidy.

How should I wash it to avoid fading or dye transfer?

Wash inside‑out in cold water, with like colors, and avoid harsh detergents. Air‑drying preserves color best.

Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?

On its own it's not heavily insulated. Layering over sweaters or pairing with warm base layers makes it suitable for milder cold; for harsh winter temperatures, add an insulated coat.

Can this jacket be altered?

Minor alterations such as shortening sleeves or hemming the body are usually possible. Structural changes to sizing are more involved because of the woven fabric and built‑in distress details.

Is the stripe pattern subtle or bold?

The stripe contributes texture and dimension without dominating an outfit — it’s designed to complement, not compete, with other wardrobe pieces.
