American Bazi Distressed Button Up Long Sleeve Denim Jacket | White / S 100100377211151

How to measure

Measuring the jacket (flat-lay method)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a hard, level surface. Button or zip it closed and smooth out wrinkles without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest / Bust (Pit‑to‑Pit): Measure straight across the front from one armpit seam to the other. Multiply that number by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from outer shoulder seam to outer shoulder seam across the back. If there are no defined seams, measure between the points where each sleeve meets the body.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (Alternate method: measure from the center back neck to the cuff for total sleeve length.)
5. Center back length: Measure from the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the bottom hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem from side to side and multiply by 2 for circumference.
7. Cuff opening: Measure the cuff flat across and multiply by 2.

Notes: Record measurements in inches and centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm). For consistency, round to the nearest 0.5 in (or nearest 1 cm).

Measuring your body (to choose the right size)

• Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, tape parallel to the floor. Compare this number to the jacket’s chest circumference.
• Shoulder: Measure across the back from outer shoulder bone to outer shoulder bone.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder bone down to the wrist with your arm slightly bent.
• Fit guidance: allow ~1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) ease for a close/fitted look, ~3–4 in (7.5–10 cm) for a classic fit, and 5+ in (12+ cm) for a relaxed/oversized fit. If you plan to layer thick sweaters, choose additional ease accordingly.
• No tape measure? Use a piece of string, mark it, then measure the string against a ruler.

Materials & construction

• Main fabric: Denim — typically 100% cotton or a cotton-rich blend (for example, 98% cotton / 2% elastane). Exact composition can vary by color and season; always check the garment tag for the precise blend.
• Distressing: Pre-distressed details (sanding, abrasion, fraying) create the worn look. Distressed areas are decorative and can be more delicate than intact denim.
• Hardware: Metal buttons or rivets (antique brass / gunmetal tones are common).
• Lining & pockets: Most denim jackets are unlined; pocket bags are usually a cotton or cotton-blend fabric.

How fibers affect care and fit: 100% cotton denim softens with wear and may shrink slightly if washed hot; blends with elastane add stretch and recovery. Indigo and dark washes can transfer dye — expect some initial bleeding.

Model & fit

Model in the product photography is shown for fit reference. Example reference: model height 5'9" (175 cm) wearing a size S. The jacket is designed with a regular/relaxed silhouette that typically sits around the hip. For roomy layering or an oversized look, consider sizing up one size. Always match your body measurements to the flat (product) measurements for best fit.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash less: Spot clean small stains instead of frequent washing to preserve color and distressing.
• First wash: Wash separately the first time — indigo can transfer to lighter fabrics.
• Machine wash: Turn inside out, cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent. Use color-safe detergent for dark denim.
• Avoid bleach: Do not use chlorine bleach or strong stain removers that can damage fabric and distressing.
• Drying: Hang to dry and reshape while damp. Tumble dry on low only if the care label allows — high heat can shrink or damage distressing.
• Ironing: Iron inside out on medium heat. Avoid pressing directly on frayed/distressed edges.
• Repairs & gentle handling: Mend small holes early and avoid abrasive surfaces that can worsen distressed areas. For significant repairs, use denim patches or professional mending.
• Storage: Hang on a supportive hanger to retain shoulder shape; keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading.
• When in doubt: Follow the garment care label — it has the manufacturer’s specific recommendations for that piece.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Layer over a simple tee and slim jeans (choose a contrasting wash) with sneakers for a classic look. Roll the sleeves for a relaxed feel.
• Weekend & streetwear: Wear over a hoodie or sweatshirt with joggers and chunky sneakers for a modern layered silhouette.
• Smart-casual: Leave the jacket open over a button-down and chinos; add desert boots or Chelsea boots to elevate the outfit.
• Double denim: Mix washes — pair a darker jacket with lighter jeans (or vice versa) and keep your top neutral to avoid looking uniformed.
• Feminine pairing: Throw the jacket over a floral dress or midi skirt and add ankle boots or sandals; cinch with a belt if you want more shape.
• Accessories: Add a bandana, enamel pins, or a lightweight scarf. Be mindful that distressed edges can catch delicate jewelry.
• Balance silhouette: Because the jacket is structured, balance it with tapered bottoms or softer, flowing pieces for a flattering overall look.
