Plaid Hooded Coat with Pockets | Black / S 100100483280090

Overview

A timeless plaid outer layer designed for everyday use: a hooded coat with practical pockets and a clean, wearable silhouette that works from errands to easy evenings out. It balances structure and comfort so you can layer under it or wear it over sweaters, making it a versatile piece for a seasonal wardrobe refresh.

Fabric & material — what this fiber delivers

The shell is crafted from a widely used synthetic textile (polyester family). That fiber is engineered to keep prints sharp and colors vivid, resist creasing, and bounce back into shape after wear. Polyester fabrics are adaptable: they can be lightweight and airy or brushed and slightly insulating depending on the yarn and finish, and they accept surface treatments (water-repellent finishes, for example) better than many natural fibers.

Quick practical facts about this type of fiber:

• Strong, abrasion-resistant fiber that holds printed patterns and plaids well.
• Low natural stretch—shape retention comes from textile construction rather than the fiber stretching.
• Dries quickly compared with many natural fibers and is easy to launder.
• Not biodegradable in its conventional form; recycled options exist that reduce environmental impact.

Fabric advantages — pros

• Durable and colorfast: retains the plaid pattern and resists fading.
• Low-wrinkle and low-maintenance—good for travel and everyday wear.
• Quick-drying and easy to clean compared with many natural fibers.
• Typically lightweight for the warmth it offers, allowing easy layering without bulk.
• Affordable and widely available, with good dimensional stability (keeps its shape).

Fabric disadvantages — cons

• Less breathable than cotton or wool—can feel warmer in active use.
• Tendency to build static and to attract lint in dry conditions.
• May pill over time in high-friction areas unless brushed or treated.
• Environmental considerations: conventional polyester is petrochemical-based; consider garments made from recycled polyester for a lower impact.
• Melts at high heat—care is required when ironing or drying.

How to measure the garment (to compare with sizing information)

If you want to compare this coat to a piece you already own, measure the garment flat and follow these steps for consistent results:

• Lay the coat flat on a smooth surface and fasten any buttons or zips so the shape is natural.
• Chest / Bust: measure straight across the front from one underarm seam to the other, then multiply by two for the full circumference.
• Shoulder width: measure across the back from seam to seam where the sleeve attaches (or from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other).
• Center-back length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (next to the base of the collar) straight down to the hem.
• Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Hem/hip width: measure across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
• Notes: measure twice for accuracy, keep the tape snug but not stretched, and record measurements in inches or centimeters to match the product listing units.

How to measure yourself (so the coat fits the way you want)

Use these body measurements to choose the right size and the amount of ease (extra room) you prefer.

• Chest / Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor; wear a bra or layer you’ll typically wear under the coat.
• Shoulder width: measure across your back from shoulder point to shoulder point (best done with a helper or using a mirror).
• Arm length: from the center back of your neck across the shoulder to the wrist (or from the shoulder point to the wrist) depending on the listing’s measurement method.
• Height and torso length: note your overall height and how long you prefer a coat to fall on your body (mid-hip, thigh, knee etc.).
• Allow the right ease: for a fitted look add about 1–2 inches of ease to your chest measurement; for a relaxed fit add about 3–5 inches; for an intentionally oversized look add 6 inches or more.
• If you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, size up to preserve mobility through the shoulders and chest.

Fit notes

This style is designed to be a versatile outer layer—expect a comfortable silhouette that accommodates light to medium layering. If you are between sizes and prefer a sleeker profile, choose the smaller size; if you like to layer thick knits or aim for a relaxed/oversized look, opt for the larger size.

Model information

If specific model measurements are not listed on the product page, photos are intended to show styling and drape rather than exact fit. For the most reliable sizing, compare your body measurements (above) to the garment measurements shown on the listing or contact customer support for model height and sample size details.

Color & pattern — how to coordinate a plaid coat

Plaid is inherently graphic; to build cohesive outfits:

• Anchor the look with neutrals—black, navy, grey, camel, or white—so the plaid reads as the primary statement piece.
• Pull one color from the plaid and repeat it in a knit, shoe, or bag to create a curated palette without clashing patterns.
• Keep other pieces solid and in simple silhouettes to avoid visual competition with the plaid.
• Casual: layer over denim, a crewneck sweater, and sneakers or ankle boots. Smart-casual: swap the denim for tailored trousers and loafers or Chelsea boots.
• Accessories: textured scarves, knitted hats, or leather gloves add tactile contrast and warmth.

Style & occasions

This coat works well for everyday citywear, travel, casual office environments, and weekend outings. It bridges casual and polished depending on what you pair it with—use it as the outer statement for monochrome outfits or as a complementary pattern for neutral wardrobes.

Season suitability

Best suited to transitional weather—spring and fall—when you want protection from light wind and chill without heavy insulation. Layer under it for colder days; in warm months it can be a light evening cover. It is not intended as heavy-duty cold-weather gear for prolonged sub-freezing conditions unless used with additional insulating layers.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Treat small spills immediately with a clean cloth and mild soap—spot-clean before laundering.
• Turn the coat inside out before washing to protect the outer pattern and surface finish.
• Use a gentle cycle and cool water; avoid high heat when drying to prevent fiber damage or melting.
• If you must tumble dry, use a low-heat or air-dry setting and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; otherwise hang to dry on a shaped hanger.
• For wrinkles, a handheld steamer is preferable; if ironing, use the lowest safe temperature and press through a cloth to protect the fabric.
• Remove pills with a fabric shaver or gentle comb in small sections rather than aggressive rubbing.

Care guide — keep it looking great longer

1. Wash sparingly: many outer layers are best refreshed between washes—air out after wear and spot clean when possible.
2. Use a laundry bag for machine-washing to reduce friction and stray threads.
3. Avoid fabric softeners if the coat has any water-repellent finishing—softeners can reduce repellency.
4. Reapply a spray-on water-repellent product as needed to refresh performance after repeated washing.
5. Store on a broad, structured hanger to maintain shoulder shape; keep in a breathable garment bag for long-term storage to avoid dust and mildew.
6. Capture microfibers at wash time: consider a microfiber filter for your washing machine or a wash bag designed to hold fibers if environmental impact is a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Are the pockets functional? — Yes, this style includes functional pockets intended for everyday items like a phone, keys, or gloves. For high-value items, consider internal or zipped pockets if available.
• Is the hood removable? — The product page should list hood details. If it’s not specified, assume the hood is fixed; contact customer support for confirmation.
• Will the coat keep me warm in cold climates? — It’s designed as a midweight outer layer. For very cold weather, plan to layer with insulation (down or heavy knit) beneath the coat.
• Can I machine wash it? — Most polyester outerwear is machine-washable on a gentle, cool cycle; follow the garment care label and the guide above to avoid damage.
• Does the plaid match exactly across all pieces? — Pattern placement can vary between cuts; small differences in plaid alignment are normal and do not indicate a defect.
• Will it shrink? — Polyester has low shrinkage, but high heat can distort it—use cool water and low heat and reshape while damp.
• What if I’m between sizes? — For layering or a relaxed look, size up; for a closer fit, choose the smaller size. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements on the product page before deciding.

Style tips — quick outfit ideas

• Weekend: coat + slim jeans + crewneck sweater + leather sneakers or Chelsea boots.
• Office-casual: coat + monochrome knit + tailored trousers + loafers; add a structured bag.
• Layered cold-weather look: thermal base + mid-weight sweater + coat + insulated boots and a knit beanie.
• Travel: pair with stretchy trousers, slip-on shoes, and a crossbody bag—the plaid adds instant polish to simple travel staples.
• Accessorize by picking one color from the plaid and repeating it in a scarf, hat, or gloves for a coordinated finish.
