Pocketed Button Up Hooded Denim Jacket | Black / S 100100686061177

Pocketed Button-Up Hooded Denim Jacket — Product Overview

Blends the classic structure of a trucker-style jacket with the laid-back ease of a hooded top. The silhouette features a button-front closure and practical front pockets, finished in a denim-look woven that feels noticeably softer and lighter than traditional rigid denim. It’s designed for everyday layering — easy to toss over tees, dresses or light knits for a smart-casual finish.

About the Fabric

The jacket is constructed from a regenerated-cellulose fabric (commonly sold as rayon/viscose family). This group of fibers is made from processed plant cellulose and is often woven and finished to take on a denim-like appearance: the texture and color depth of denim with a softer hand and better drape. Depending on the exact process (viscose, modal or lyocell), the fabric can vary in softness, strength and environmental profile.

Fabric Advantages — Pros and Cons

• Pros
  • Soft, smooth hand and comfortable next-to-skin feel — much more forgiving than rigid denim.
  • Good drape for layering without adding bulk, making it flattering over multiple outfits.
  • Breathable and absorbent — comfortable in transitional weather and cool evenings.
  • Takes dye well, so denim finishes show rich color and vintage wash effects.
• Cons
  • Less abrasion-resistant than cotton denim — will show wear sooner under heavy use.
  • More prone to wrinkling, pilling and shape changes if exposed to heat or aggressive laundering.
  • May shrink or lose structure with high-temperature washing or drying.
  • Environmental impact varies — traditional viscose production uses chemicals; more eco-friendly options (e.g., lyocell/TENCEL) are preferred where available.

How to Measure — Body and Garment

Two quick checks will help you get the right fit:

• Measure your body:
  • Bust/Chest: Wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep tape parallel to the floor and relaxed.
  • Shoulder width: Measure from one shoulder seam point to the other across the back (or from bone to bone at the top of the shoulder).
  • Sleeve length: With arm relaxed, measure from the top of the shoulder seam (or center-back neck for some references) down to the wrist.
  • Torso length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (near the neck) straight down to where you want the jacket to end.
• Measure a jacket that fits (recommended):
  • Lay a jacket you already own and like on a flat surface. Measure across the chest from armpit seam to armpit seam and double that number for a flat-to-circumference comparison.
  • Measure shoulder seam to shoulder seam, sleeve from shoulder seam to cuff, and from high shoulder to hem to compare length.

How to Choose Your Size — Fit Notes

The jacket is made from a non-stretch woven; it does not offer mechanical elasticity. For a close, fitted look choose the size that closely matches your chest measurement. If you plan to layer bulkier sweaters underneath, size up one for comfortable layering and freer arm movement. If you prefer a cropped or tailored look, choose the smaller or your usual size and refer to your chest and shoulder measurements rather than labeled sizes.

Model & Photography Notes

Product images on retail pages are helpful guides — model shots show drape, length and how the sleeves fall. If a size/height note is provided in images, use it to judge where the hem hits relative to your torso. When no model specs are given, expect photography to reflect a medium or sample size; always cross-check with the measurement tool above.

Color & How to Combine the Jacket

Denim-inspired tones are versatile: lighter washes read casual and airy; deeper indigo or black washes read more polished. Pairing ideas:

• Light wash: White tees, linen trousers, espadrilles or sneakers for a relaxed daytime look.
• Mid/dark indigo: Black or grey slim jeans, a knit turtleneck and Chelsea boots for a modern off-duty vibe.
• Black wash: Monochrome layers (black tee, black jeans) for a sleek urban outfit; metallic accessories lift the look.
• Casual dresses: Throw over a midi dress for a soft juxtaposition of feminine and rugged elements.
• Office-casual: Wear over a button shirt with tailored trousers and loafers for smart-casual meetings.

Style & Versatility

The hooded button-up combines utility and relaxed tailoring. It functions as a transitional outer layer for commuting, weekend errands or layered styling for city travel. Pockets add everyday usefulness; the button closure lets you wear it closed for structure or open as a lightweight overshirt.

Seasonal Use

Best for spring, early fall and cool summer evenings. The fabric’s breathable nature makes it comfortable when temperatures are mild. For cold winter climates you’ll want additional insulation underneath (e.g., quilted vest or chunky knit) since this style is not intended as a heavy-duty winter coat.

Care Tips & Quick Fit Reminders

• Wash gently and avoid high heat: cool water and a gentle cycle or hand wash will preserve color and shape.
• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect surface color and trims.
• Avoid aggressive spinning and high-heat drying — remove promptly and reshape while damp.
• Because the fabric is a non-stretch woven, expect limited give; allow extra room for bulky layers.
• If you notice minor shrinkage after the first wash, reshape the jacket while damp and air-dry flat or on a hanger to restore proportions.

Care Guide — Keep It Lovely Longer

1. First wash: Wash separately or with like colors to reduce risk of dye transfer.
2. Routine washing: Use a mild detergent, turn garment inside out, choose a gentle cycle in cool water or hand wash. Avoid chlorine bleach and harsh stain removers that can damage fibers and color.
3. Drying: Prefer air drying on a wide hanger or flat to avoid shoulder distortion. If you must use a machine dryer, choose the lowest heat and remove while slightly damp to finish shaping by hand.
4. Ironing/steaming: Low temperature ironing with a press cloth or gentle steaming will remove wrinkles without flattening the fabric’s texture.
5. Storage: Hang on a sturdy, shaped hanger; avoid cramming in a crowded closet. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
6. Small repairs: Tighten loose buttons soon after purchase and use a fabric shaver or a gentle razor to remove pills carefully.
7. Stain treatment: Blot fresh stains; use a mild detergent solution for spot cleaning and rinse thoroughly. Test any stain remover on an inside seam first.

Style Tips — Outfit Ideas

• Layer with a fitted hoodie or crewneck sweater underneath for a clean layered street look.
• Cuff the sleeves once for a casual, lived-in effect and to show a patterned cuff shirt beneath.
• Add a slim belt over the jacket to create waist definition for dresses or high-waisted skirts.
• Pair with neutral basics — white tee, straight jeans and white sneakers — to let the jacket be the focal point.
• Dress it up: swap sneakers for loafers, add a silk scarf and structured tote.

FAQ

Is this a true denim jacket?

This has a denim-inspired finish but is woven from a regenerated-cellulose fiber rather than traditional cotton denim, so it will feel softer and drape differently.

Does it stretch?

It’s a woven fabric with no built-in stretch. Choose a size with sufficient ease if you plan to layer thicker sweaters underneath.

Will it shrink?

Some shrinkage can occur if exposed to high heat. Follow gentle washing and drying guidance and reshape the jacket while damp to minimize changes.

How should I wash it?

Treat it gently: cool-water wash on a delicate cycle or hand wash, turn inside out, and prefer air-drying. If you machine dry, use the lowest heat and remove promptly.

Is the hood removable?

Check the product images and description on the site for details on construction — many hooded overshirts are attached, but some styles offer removable hoods with snaps or zippers.

Can I iron it?

Yes — use a low heat setting and a press cloth, or use a steamer to relax wrinkles without direct high heat.

How do I choose between sizes?

Measure your chest and compare it to a jacket you already own (laid flat measurement). Allow 1–3 inches of ease for layering or choose a closer fit if you prefer streamlined looks.

If you’d like personalized sizing help, provide your chest/bust measurement and preferred layering habits (e.g., thin tee vs. bulky sweater) and we’ll recommend the best fit approach.
