American Bazi Distressed Button Up Long Sleeve Denim Jacket | Deep Purple / S 100100984781075

How to measure this jacket

Use a soft measuring tape. You can measure a jacket you already own (recommended) or take body measurements and compare to the jacket measurements. When measuring a garment, lay it flat on a table and smooth out wrinkles — do not stretch.

Measuring the jacket (flat)

1. Chest / Half‑Chest: Button the jacket. Measure across the front from one side seam to the other, about 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole. This is the half‑chest; multiply by 2 to get full circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the top of the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (If your jacket has a raglan or dropped shoulder, measure from the highest point of the shoulder where the sleeve meets the body.)
4. Back length: Measure from the base of the collar (where it meets the body) down the center back to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam (half‑hem), then multiply by 2 for circumference.
6. Bicep / Sleeve opening: With the sleeve laid flat, measure across the sleeve about 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole for the bicep width; measure the cuff opening across the cuff for wrist width.

Measuring your body (to choose the right jacket size)

1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape snug but not tight.
2. Shoulders: Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back.
3. Sleeve length: From the center back at the base of the neck, measure across the shoulder to the wrist bone with your arm relaxed slightly bent.
4. Back length: From the base of the collar at the center back down to where you want the jacket to sit (hip, waist).

Fit tips: For a close/fitted look, allow 0–2" (0–5 cm) of ease in the chest. For layering (sweaters/hoodies), add 2–4" (5–10 cm) of ease. Always compare your favorite jacket’s flat measurements to this product’s measurements when available.

Materials & construction

The American Bazi Distressed Button Up Long Sleeve Denim Jacket is crafted for that lived‑in denim look and feel:

• Main fabric: Midweight denim (typically 100% cotton or a cotton‑dominant blend). Midweight denim provides durability and structure while softening with wear.
• Finish: Distressed treatment (sanding/abrasion and wash techniques) creates authentic fading, fraying and whiskering. Each jacket will have unique variations.
• Hardware: Metal button closures and metal trims where applicable — designed to age naturally with wear.
• Construction details: Reinforced seams and stress points; classic button‑up front and long sleeves.

Note: Exact fiber content and weight can vary by production batch—check the garment tag or product specification sheet for precise percentages and care symbols.

Model & fit information

Reference model information helps you visualize fit:

• Model: Height 5'9" (175 cm), Bust 34" (86 cm), Waist 25" (64 cm).
• Wearing: Size S in the photos for a slightly relaxed/modern fit.
• Recommended fit: This jacket runs true to size for a classic denim silhouette. Size up one if you plan heavy layering underneath or prefer an oversized look.

If you’re between sizes, consider your intended look: choose your usual size for a regular fit, one size up for looser/oversized styling.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Distressed denim looks best with gentle care. Follow these tips to preserve the color, shape and intentional distressing.

• Turn jacket inside out before washing to protect the outer finish and hardware.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, or hand wash for extra care. Use a mild, color‑safe detergent.
• Wash only when necessary—spot clean small stains to preserve color and distressing.
• Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Do not use fabric softener frequently as it can affect denim texture.
• Air dry recommended: reshape while damp and hang or lay flat to dry. If you must use a dryer, tumble on low for a short time to remove moisture, then air dry to finish.
• Iron inside out on low to medium heat if needed; avoid direct heat on distressed/frayed areas.
• Expect slight initial shrinkage (especially in 100% cotton denim). If shrinkage is a concern, wash cold and air dry.
• For stubborn stains or if the jacket has decorative trims, consider professional dry cleaning—check the care label first.
• Store on a hanger to maintain shoulder shape and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to reduce fading.

Quick fix for frays: a small stitch or fabric glue on the inside will secure distressed edges while keeping the look intact.

Style Tips

Versatile and casual, this distressed denim jacket is an easy building block for many looks:

• Everyday casual: Throw over a white tee, slim black jeans and white sneakers for an effortless go‑to outfit.
• Layered street style: Wear over a hoodie or lightweight sweatshirt, pair with cargo pants and chunky trainers for a modern streetwear vibe.
• Feminine contrast: Layer over a floral midi dress and ankle boots to balance tough and soft elements.
• Denim on denim: If you try double denim, contrast washes (light jacket + dark jeans or vice versa) for a deliberate look.
• Night out: Dress it up with a slim black tee, tapered trousers and Chelsea boots; add a statement belt to finish.
• Transition season: Use it as a midlayer under a wool coat on colder days or over a thin sweater for crisp evenings.
• Details matter: Roll the cuffs, unbutton a few top buttons, or pin a vintage brooch/scarf to the collar to make it your own.

Because of the jacket’s distressed details, keep accessories simple to let the texture stand out.
