Hellgraue Steppjacke mit langer Ärmellänge und Knopfverschluss | Cloudy Blue / S 100100320526494

Overview

A pared-back quilted jacket in a soft gray tone that blends everyday practicality with a clean, modern silhouette. The stitched surface gives subtle texture while the button-front keeps the look crisp and easy to layer. Designed for light warmth and mobility, this piece works as a go-to outer layer for transitional weather, travel days, and smart-casual outfits.

Materials & Construction — What it means for you

The shell is a synthetic weave with a small amount of stretch built in. That combination provides straightforward performance: the outer fabric holds its shape and resists wrinkling, while the stretch fiber allows a little give for comfort across the shoulders and arms. The stitched quilted construction traps a slim layer of insulation for warmth without adding bulk, and the pared internal finish keeps the jacket lightweight so it layers easily under heavier coats or over knits.

Detailed material notes

• Polyester-based shell: durable, colorfast and quick-drying—good for active days and easy care.
• Stretch fibre (elastane/spandex): gives shape retention and comfortable movement but is sensitive to high heat—follow low-heat care.
• Quilted construction: synthetic fill provides modest insulation; because the jacket is constructed with minimal interior lining it remains lightweight and versatile for layering.

Fabric Advantages — Pros and Cons

Pros

• Lightweight warmth: quilting adds insulation without heavy bulk, ideal for layering.
• Low maintenance: resilient surface resists wrinkles and is simple to clean.
• Shape and stretch: the small stretch content improves comfort and range of motion.
• Practical details: pockets and a button front combine function with a classic look.
• Versatile neutral color that pairs easily with most wardrobes.

Cons

• Not intended as a heavy winter coat—insulation is moderate rather than heavy-duty.
• Synthetic fibers can retain odors more than natural fibers; regular airing and proper washing help.
• Potential for microplastic shedding when washed; cold washes and laundry filters can reduce release.
• Elastane is heat-sensitive—avoid high-temperature drying and ironing to preserve elasticity.
• Continuous abrasion (bag straps, repeated friction) may cause pilling or localized wear over time.

How to Measure — Get the right fit

Use a flexible cloth tape and a mirror or helper for best accuracy. Measure over a fitted layer (a thin T-shirt) unless you plan to wear bulky sweaters under the jacket—then wear a similar layer while measuring.

How to measure your body

1. Chest/Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping it parallel to the floor. Don’t pull tight—comfortably snug is best.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other across the back (where a shoulder seam would sit).
3. Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the shoulder point (or center back of the neck if the product lists that method) down to the wrist bone.
4. Front length: From the high point of the shoulder (near the base of the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to sit.

How to measure a jacket (flat / product measurements)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface, fasten buttons, and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Chest: Measure straight across from underarm seam to underarm seam, then double that number for the full circumference.
3. Shoulders: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Sleeve: Measure from shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
5. Front length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where shoulder meets collar) down to the hem.

Fit Guidance & Sizing Tips

• If you prefer a slim, close-to-body look choose the size that closely matches your chest measurement with minimal extra room.
• For comfortable layering (light sweaters or hoodies), allow approximately 2–4 cm (about 1–1.5 in) of wearing ease; for roomy or oversized styling add more.
• Pay particular attention to shoulder measurements—if the shoulder seam feels tight or pulls when you raise your arms, consider the next size up.
• Sleeve length: if your arms are long relative to your height, check sleeve measurements rather than relying solely on size labels.

Model & Photo Reference

Product photography is intended as a styling reference. Models typically wear a size chosen to showcase the cut—sometimes the look is closer to fitted, other times slightly relaxed. Use the product's listed flat measurements and the "How to Measure" guidance above to match proportions rather than relying solely on the model's appearance. If the product page includes the model’s height and the size they’re wearing, use that information to refine your choice.

Color — How to combine this light gray piece

The pale-gray tone is a neutral canvas: pair it with deep navy or black for a crisp, urban feel; add camel or tan for a warm, elevated palette; use bright accessories (scarves, hats, shoes) for instant contrast. For casual days pair with denim—either dark or faded—while tapered trousers and loafers will dress it up for a smart-casual occasion.

Style & Key Features

• Classic quilted stitching for texture without bulk.
• Button-front closure for a clean, timeless look.
• Functional pockets to carry small essentials.
• Minimal internal finish keeps it light and layer-friendly.
• Long-sleeve length designed to cover the wrist and provide balanced proportion with the body length.

Season & Use Cases

• Ideal for spring and autumn when you need light to moderate warmth.
• Perfect for cool summer evenings or as a mid-layer in milder winter climates.
• Great for travel: rolls or folds compactly and is easy to refresh in a hotel sink or machine on a gentle cycle.
• Smart-casual enough for office commutes yet relaxed enough for weekend wear.

Care Tips & Quick Fit Notes

• Fasten buttons before washing to preserve shape and reduce snagging.
• Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with like colors; avoid high heat in the dryer to protect elasticity.
• If you expect to wear heavy layers underneath, size up for comfortable movement; otherwise select your usual size for a cleaner silhouette.
• Spot-clean small stains promptly to avoid repeated washing.

Care Guide — Keep it looking new

1. Before washing: Empty pockets, secure closures, and turn the jacket inside out to protect the outer face from abrasion.
2. Wash: Use a gentle detergent, cold water and a short/low-agitation cycle. Consider using a laundry bag to reduce friction and filter microfibers.
3. Dry: Tumble dry on low for a short cycle, then shape and lay flat or hang to finish drying. Avoid sustained high heat; air drying will extend fabric life.
4. Refresh: For small odors or to freshen between washes, hang the jacket in fresh air or use a fabric-safe refresher spray.
5. Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain shape; avoid tight folding for long-term storage. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
6. Repairs: Trim loose threads carefully and use a needle-and-thread for small seam repairs. For more significant repairs, consult a professional tailor.

FAQ

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

It provides light to moderate insulation—excellent for transitional weather and mild winters. For very cold temperatures, use it as a mid-layer beneath a heavier coat.

Can I machine wash it at home?

Yes—gentle machine cycles with cold water are appropriate. Use low heat for drying or hang to dry to protect the stretch fibers and quilting.

Is the jacket water-resistant?

It will repel light drizzle thanks to the outer fabric, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, choose a dedicated rain shell.

Does the fabric stretch?

The fabric contains a small amount of stretch for comfort and mobility, but it’s not a highly elastic garment. Expect modest give rather than athletic compression.

Will it shrink?

Proper care (cold wash and low-heat drying) minimizes shrinkage. High-heat drying or ironing can affect fit and elasticity.

Are there pockets?

Yes—practical external pockets are included for essentials like keys or a phone.

How true is the color to the pictures?

Colors can vary between screens. Light gray tones may read warmer or cooler depending on lighting; check close-up images and product swatches when available.

How should it fit across the shoulders?

Shoulders should align with your natural shoulder line—if the seam sits on the shoulder tip you have a correct fit; if it’s inward or pulling, consider sizing up.

Is this jacket suitable for travel?

Yes—its lightweight construction, low-maintenance fabric, and neutral color make it a great travel piece that pairs with multiple outfits.

Can I iron it?

If needed, use a low-heat setting and a pressing cloth. Avoid direct high heat on areas with stretch fibers to prevent damage.

Style Tips — How to wear it

• Casual day: pair with straight-leg jeans, a white tee and sneakers for an effortless look.
• Office-friendly: layer over a fine-gauge knit or blouse, add tailored trousers and loafers.
• Layered cold-weather option: slip under a heavier wool coat as a warm, low-bulk mid-layer.
• Weekend travel: wear over a hoodie for comfort and add slip-on trainers for quick security checks.
• Color play: add a bold scarf or bright beanie to lift the neutral gray and create focal interest.
