American Bazi Full Size Distressed Star Stud Trim Denim Rider Jacket Plus Size | VINTAGE WASH / S 100100945881131

How to measure

Measure your body (for best size selection)

1. Chest / Bust: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed—do not hold your breath.
2. Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part) or where you normally wear your pants. Keep the tape comfortably snug.
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat, with feet together.
4. Shoulder width: Measure from the edge of one shoulder to the edge of the other across the back.
5. Sleeve length: With the arm slightly bent, measure from the center back of the neck over the shoulder to the wrist, or measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist for garment sleeve length.
6. Desired jacket length: Measure from the nape (base of the neck) straight down to where you want the hem to sit (waist, hip, or thigh).

Tip: Record measurements in inches and centimeters (1 in = 2.54 cm). Compare your body measurements to garment measurements and allow extra room (ease) for layering if needed.

Measure the jacket (garment laid flat)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and fasten any zippers/snaps so it lies naturally.
2. Chest (Armpit to armpit): Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other. Multiply this number by 2 to get the full chest circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For center-back sleeve length, measure from the center back neck to the cuff through the shoulder.
5. Back length: Measure from the base of the collar (nape) straight down to the hem at center back.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the hem and multiply by 2 for circumference.
7. Allow for manufacturing tolerances—garment dimensions can vary slightly due to distressing and embellishment. For comfortable layering over sweaters, add about 2–4 in (5–10 cm) of ease to chest measurements.

Materials & construction

General material and trim information for the American Bazi Full Size Distressed Star Stud Trim Denim Rider Jacket:

• Outer fabric: Midweight denim—typically primarily cotton or a cotton-rich blend (some batches may include a small percentage of elastane for stretch).
• Trim: Decorative star-shaped metal studs securely riveted or sewn onto the denim; placement may vary slightly due to the distressed, artisanal finish.
• Hardware: Metal zipper and buttons/snaps (commonly nickel- or brass-finished).
• Lining: Many denim riders are unlined or partially lined (check the garment tag for exact lining fiber content, often polyester or a cotton blend if present).
• Finish: Pre-washed and distressed areas for a lived-in aesthetic—color variation and minor abrasions are intentional design details.

Note: For exact fiber content and percent composition, please refer to the care label sewn into the jacket, as materials can vary by production run.

Model & fit

Reference sizing to help visualize fit:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm).
• Model measurements (approx): Bust 42" / Waist 34" / Hips 44".
• Shown wearing: 1X (approx US 14–16) for a classic rider jacket silhouette.
• Fit notes: This jacket offers a classic, slightly boxy rider shape. If you plan to layer thick knits underneath or prefer more ease, consider sizing up. For a closer, more tailored look, choose your usual size.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Spot clean first: For small stains, gently blot with a soft cloth, cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid aggressive scrubbing which can distress the fabric or loosen studs.
2. Before washing: Close zippers and snaps, turn the jacket inside out and, if available, place it in a mesh laundry bag to protect the studs and hardware.
3. Machine wash (if permitted by label): Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, wash with like colors. Do not bleach.
4. Hand wash option: Soak in cold water with mild detergent for 10–15 minutes, rinse gently and press out excess water—do not wring.
5. Drying: Reshape and hang or lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sun. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinkage and damage to embellishments. If tumble drying is necessary, use low heat and remove promptly.
6. Ironing: Iron inside out on low heat. Do not iron directly over metal studs or hardware—use a pressing cloth if needed.
7. Storage: Store on a sturdy hanger to preserve shoulder shape. Keep in a dry area to avoid tarnishing of metal trims. Do not store damp or sealed in plastic for long periods.
8. Professional care: For stubborn stains or extensive cleaning, consider a professional cleaner and point out the metal studs so they can take appropriate precautions.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: Wear over a white tee and high-waisted jeans (choose a contrasting wash) with sneakers or ankle boots.
• Double-denim: Pair with a darker or lighter wash to create contrast—balance the look with a neutral tee and statement shoes.
• Feminine contrast: Layer the jacket over a floral midi or slip dress for a soft-and-edgy combo; finish with block heels or platform sneakers.
• Layer up: Wear over a hoodie or chunky knit for extra warmth and an on-trend layered silhouette.
• Belt it: Add a waist belt over the jacket to define your shape and create an hourglass effect.
• Accessories: Highlight the star-stud detail with minimal metallic jewelry and a bandana or lightweight scarf for Americana vibes.
• Plus-size tips: Aim for a jacket length that hits at or slightly above the widest point of your hips for balance. Pair with high-waisted bottoms and vertical lines (open jacket, long necklaces) to create a lengthening effect.
