Button Down Half Sleeve Denim Jacket | Dark / S 100100647411143

How to measure this jacket

When listing or checking fit, you can measure either the finished garment (best for online listings) or your body (best for choosing a size). For accuracy, measure a similar jacket that already fits you well and compare.

Measure the garment (laid flat)

1. Chest / Bust (pit-to-pit): Lay the jacket flat and button it up. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
3. Sleeve length (half sleeve): Measure from the shoulder seam down to the sleeve hem. For a half-sleeve style this typically ends above or at the elbow; record the flat length.
4. Center back length: Measure from the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom edge of the jacket and double for full circumference.
6. Bicep / sleeve opening: Measure the sleeve width about 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) down from the armhole; double to get full circumference if needed.
7. Armhole: Measure around the armhole seam (or measure flat from seam to seam and refer to pattern/fit).

Notes: always state the unit used (cm or in). Allow a tolerance of ±1–2 cm for cutting and washing variance. If you list only flat measurements, indicate “flat” and whether the number shown is doubled.

Measure your body (to choose a size)

• Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest while wearing a lightly fitted top. Keep the tape comfortably snug.
• Shoulder: Measure from the edge of one shoulder across the back to the other edge.
• Arm length for half sleeve: From the top of the shoulder (where the shoulder seam sits) down to where you want the sleeve to end.
• Add ease: for this jacket allow around 2–6 cm (1–2.5") of positive ease for comfort depending on whether you want a fitted or relaxed look.

Materials & construction

Typical construction and fabric details for a half-sleeve denim jacket:

• Main fabric: Denim — commonly 100% cotton (medium-weight, ~8–12 oz) or a cotton blend with 1–3% elastane for stretch. 100% cotton denim breathes well, wears in and softens over time; stretch blends offer more give and easier movement.
• Finish: Options include raw/rigid denim (minimal pre-wash), enzyme/stone wash (softened with pre-distressing), or garment-dyed for vintage look. Pre-washed garments shrink and fade less.
• Hardware: Metal buttons or snaps (often antique brass, copper or nickel finishes). Buttons may be branded or generic.
• Thread & stitching: Durable polyester/cotton or bonded threads used for topstitching; reinforced bar tacks at stress points.
• Lining / trims: Most half-sleeve denim jackets are unlined; some have partial chambray lining at the yoke or collar. Pocket bags typically use cotton or cotton-blend fabric.

Performance notes: medium-weight denim is durable and seasonally versatile. Stretch blends provide additional comfort but slightly change shrink and care behavior.

Model information

Example model used for product imagery (reference only):

• Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Bust: 33" (84 cm) • Waist: 25" (64 cm) • Hips: 35" (89 cm)

• Fit notes: The jacket has a slightly boxy, relaxed shape with half sleeves that typically hit above the elbow. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; for a roomy/oversized look, size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Wash infrequently: Denim looks better and lasts longer with less washing. Spot-clean small stains when possible.
• First wash caution: Wash separately or with similar colors for the first few washes — indigo can transfer.
• Machine wash (preferred for pre-washed denim): Turn jacket inside out, cold gentle cycle, mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong detergents that strip color.
• Hand wash: For delicate finishes or stretch blends, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Line dry in shade to preserve color and shape. Avoid high heat tumble drying — it can cause shrinkage and weaken fibers.
• Ironing: Warm iron on the reverse if needed. Use steam for stubborn creases. Avoid ironing over metal trims.
• Storage: Fold or hang on a wide, supportive hanger. Avoid leaving damp garments in closed spaces to prevent mildew.
• Repairs & wear: Mend small frays early, reinforce high-stress points, and touch up hardware (tighten or replace buttons) to extend life.
• Special note for raw/rigid denim: Raw denim is best washed infrequently and usually by hand or cold machine to preserve indigo and shrink properties.

Style tips

Half-sleeve denim jackets are versatile — here are ways to wear it:

• Casual everyday: Layer over a white tee and high-waisted jeans or chinos for a clean, relaxed look. Choose contrasting washes for a modern double-denim outfit.
• Summer-ready: Throw over a sundress or a floral midi for an easy warm-weather cover-up.
• Office smart-casual: Wear over a lightweight button-down and tapered trousers; add loafers or low heels to polish the outfit.
• Transitional layers: Wear over a thin knit or hoodie in cooler weather and under a longer coat when it’s colder (avoid bulky sleeves to keep the half-sleeve silhouette crisp).
• Accents: Cuff the sleeves slightly for a casual touch, add a slim belt at the waist to create shape, or personalize with pins, a silk scarf at the neck, or a statement brooch.
• Footwear: Sneakers, ankle boots, sandals or loafers all pair well — choose the shoe to match the occasion and the rest of the outfit.
