Mandy Geometric Dropped Shoulder Jacket with Pockets | Khaki / S 100100349858645

Overview

A modern, relaxed jacket cut with a dropped shoulder and a bold geometric motif — designed to be a go-to layering piece that elevates both casual and smart-casual looks. Its mid-length silhouette and pocketed front create useful, wearable style for everyday life and travel. The button-front lets you wear it open as a lightweight shacket or closed for a cleaner, tailored appearance.

Design & Silhouette

The dropped shoulder gives a softly slouchy, contemporary profile while the straight mid-length provides coverage without overwhelming proportions. Pockets are positioned for hand-warming and small-item carry; front fastenings allow multiple styling options (open/partially/buttoned). The geometric print adds visual texture so the jacket reads like a statement layering piece rather than a simple neutral.

About the Fabric

This jacket is made from a synthetic polyester fabric: a resilient, low-maintenance fiber commonly used for outer layers and printed garments. Polyester fabrics can be manufactured in different weaves and finishes (matte, slight sheen, crepe-like, or smooth), and are often chosen for print clarity, colorfastness and shape retention.

Material information — what polyester means for you

• Origin: Polyester is a petroleum-derived synthetic polymer (polyethylene terephthalate, PET). It is engineered into yarns and fabrics that are durable and stable.
• Performance: Excellent wrinkle resistance, quick-drying, and able to hold printed patterns sharply. It resists stretching and keeps structure after repeated wear.
• Comfort trade-offs: Less breathable than natural fibers; retains heat more easily and can feel less airy in very warm conditions. It can also develop static and pilling over time if cared for roughly.
• Sustainability note: Recycled polyester options exist that reduce reliance on virgin petroleum feedstocks and energy use. If sustainability is a priority, look for product pages that specify recycled content or certifications.

Fabric Advantages — Pros and Cons

How to Measure the Jacket (Garment Measurements)

To compare this jacket to clothing you already own, measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface following these steps:

• Chest / Bust (Garment): Lay the jacket flat and measure straight across the fullest part of the chest from seam to seam (beneath the armholes), then double that number to get the circumference.
• Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. For dropped-shoulder designs, measure seam-to-seam since the seam sits lower than a traditional shoulder line.
• Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam along the outer edge of the sleeve to the cuff. Optionally, measure from the center back of the neck to the end of the sleeve for a center-back sleeve length reference.
• Back Length: From the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the hem.
• Hem Width: Measure across the bottom hem and double to get the circumference.

How to Measure Yourself & Choose the Right Size

• Bust / Chest: Wrap a flexible tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed (no extra stretch). Use that measurement to compare to the jacket's chest measurement.
• Shoulders: Measure across the back from the point of one shoulder (where your arm meets the shoulder) to the other. For dropped-shoulder garments, shoulders will feel lower — rely more on chest and sleeve length when choosing size.
• Sleeve Length: With a slight bend in your elbow, measure from the natural shoulder point down to your wrist. If you prefer longer sleeves for layering, add 1"–2".
• Desired Ease: Decide how you want the jacket to fit over the layers you plan to wear:
  • Fitted/tailored: 0–2" of ease (jacket measurement 0–2" larger than your body measurement)
  • Casual/standard: 2–4" of ease
  • Relaxed/oversized: 4–8" (or more) of ease for chunky sweaters and heavy layering
• Final check: Compare your body measurements + desired ease to the garment measurements (as outlined above) and choose the size whose measurements are closest to that total.

Fit Notes & Model Information

This jacket is cut for a relaxed, slightly boxy fit with a dropped shoulder—expect extra room across the upper arm and body compared to a tailored blazer. If you plan to wear thick knitwear underneath, size up for comfortable layering. If you prefer a sleeker look, choose your typical top size or size down only if your chest measurement allows the narrower fit with the recommended ease.

(Model details are not listed here — when viewing product imagery, look for the retailer’s model height and the size shown to help visualize proportion. Photos typically illustrate both open and buttoned styling so you can judge fit and length.)

Color & How to Combine the Jacket

Geometric patterns act as a focal point — build outfits around the dominant or neutral shades in the print:

• Neutral prints: Pair with a monochrome base (black, white, gray, navy) for a sleek, modern look.
• Warm-toned prints: Combine with cream, olive, rust, or denim for an autumnal palette.
• Cool-toned prints: Pair with crisp white tees, indigo denim, or charcoal trousers for a contemporary contrast.
• Mixing patterns: If you want to mix prints, keep secondary patterns small-scale (stripes or micro-prints) and keep colors coordinated.
• Accessories: Minimal metal jewelry and structured bags complement the geometric motif; scarves and leather boots add textural contrast.

Seasonal Wear & Use

The jacket’s midweight construction and layered-ready silhouette make it ideal for transitional weather — spring and autumn are prime seasons. It works well indoors in winter with insulating layers underneath and may be too warm as a top layer in summer climates. Because it is easy-care and wrinkle-resistant, it’s also a practical travel companion.

Care Guide — Keeping it looking like new

1. Before washing: Close buttons, empty pockets, and turn the jacket inside out to protect the print and surface.
2. Washing: Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cool water and a mild detergent. Wash with like colors to prevent dye transfer.
3. Drying: Air-dry on a hanger for best longevity; if using a dryer, choose the lowest heat setting and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling and heat stress.
4. Ironing & steaming: Use low heat if you must press. A handheld steamer removes wrinkles safely without direct high-heat contact.
5. Stain treatment: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water; avoid vigorous rubbing which can damage the surface or print.
6. Storage: Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain shape; keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading of printed colors.
7. Pilling & lint: Use a fabric shaver or lint roller gently on areas with abrasion (underarms, cuffs). To reduce static, use a fabric softener sparingly or a dryer sheet when tumble-drying briefly on low.

Practical Care Tips & Fit Notes

• Turn inside out before machine wash to protect the geometric print.
• If you’re between sizes, pick based on chest measurement and how thick your usual layers are.
• For longer-lasting colors, wash infrequently and spot-treat small marks.
• Avoid high heat when drying or ironing — polyester fibers can deform or shine under excessive heat.

Style Tips — Outfits to try

• Weekend casual: White tee, slim denim, sneakers. Leave the jacket unbuttoned for an effortless vibe.
• Office smart-casual: Neutral blouse, tapered trousers, loafers. Button the jacket for a cleaner silhouette.
• Date night: Silk camisole, black skinny jeans, ankle boots. Add minimal jewelry to let the print pop.
• Layered warmth: Thin knit sweater underneath, scarf, and a long coat on top — the dropped shoulders layer well without bunching.
• Travel capsule: Pack it as a statement outer layer — it resists wrinkles and coordinates easily with neutrals.

FAQ

Q: Does this jacket run true to size?

A: It is designed with a relaxed, dropped-shoulder fit. Use chest/bust measurements and desired ease as your guide. If you like a slimmer look, select the smaller size that still allows for comfortable movement.

Q: Will the fabric shrink or lose the print if washed?

A: Polyester is dimensionally stable and holds print well when laundered correctly. Use cool water, gentle cycles, and avoid excessive heat when drying to prevent distortion or fading.

Q: Is the jacket lined?

A: Construction details vary by production run. If lining is important to you (for warmth or opacity), check the product page images or description for a lining note, or contact customer service for confirmation.

Q: Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?

A: Pockets are designed for practical use — typically suitable for keys, a phone or small wallet. For precise dimensions, compare your phone’s length to the garment’s pocket height where available in the product images or specs.

Q: Can I wear this in colder weather?

A: Yes — as a mid-layer. Add a thicker insulating layer underneath and a warm coat on top for cold conditions.

Q: How do I reduce static and pilling?

A: Use a gentle laundry detergent, avoid over-drying, and use dryer sheets or a small amount of fabric softener sparingly. For pilling, a fabric shaver will safely restore the surface.

Q: Is this material eco-friendly?

A: Traditional polyester is a synthetic fiber with environmental impacts related to fossil-fuel sourcing and end-of-life. Look for product listings that specify recycled polyester or eco-certifications if sustainability is a priority.
