Button Up Drop Shoulder Sherpa Coat

How to measure

To choose the right size, measure either the garment or your body. Follow these clear steps for accurate results.

Measuring the coat (lay flat)

1. Button up the coat and lay it flat on a smooth surface, smoothing out wrinkles and aligning seams.
2. Chest / Bust: Measure across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from seam to seam, then double that number to get the full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam. For drop-shoulder styles, measure across the seamline where the sleeve joins the body.
4. Sleeve length: If there is a defined shoulder seam, measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For drop-shoulder designs, measure from the center back of the neck (CBN) to the cuff for an accurate "as-worn" sleeve length.
5. Back length: Measure from the center back neck (top of the collar) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double that measurement to get the full circumference.
7. Compare these garment measurements to a similar coat you already own. If you plan to layer bulky knits, allow an extra 2–4" (5–10 cm) of chest ease.

Measuring your body

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level under the arms.
• Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips with feet together.
• Arm length: Measure from the center back of your neck, over the top of the shoulder, down to the wrist.
• Use your body measurements to match the garment measurements and pick the fit you prefer (fitted vs. layered/oversized).

Materials & features

Typical composition for a sherpa-style coat of this type:

• Shell (Sherpa): 100% polyester — a soft, insulating faux shearling that mimics real shearling’s warmth and texture.
• Lining: 100% polyester — smooth lining for comfortable layering and easy on/off.
• Interfacing/fill: Polyester padding or quilting in some styles for extra warmth.
• Buttons/Hardware: Metal or durable plastic; styles may vary by batch.

Features you can expect: button-up front, drop shoulder for a relaxed silhouette, patch or welt pockets, collar, and full lining. Sherpa is warm and plush and may soften or shed slightly when new.

Note: Exact fiber percentages and hardware details may vary by production run—always check the garment’s contents label for precise information.

Model & fit (reference)

Reference shown in product photos (for sizing context):

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Wearing: size S
• Fit: Relaxed / slightly oversized due to the drop-shoulder design. Designed to layer over sweaters. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down.

Tip: For heavy layering, choose your usual size or size up. For a streamlined look, size down one.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

1. Always check the garment care label first and follow any manufacturer-specific instructions.
2. Fasten all buttons and turn the coat inside out before washing to protect the pile and hardware.
3. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash with a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
4. Avoid fabric softener — it can flatten the sherpa pile. Use a gentle detergent formulated for synthetics.
5. Spot-clean small stains with a mild soap solution; blot gently rather than rubbing.
6. Drying: reshape and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. If tumble drying is permitted on the label, use low heat with dryer balls to help restore loft.
7. Do not iron sherpa directly. Use a steamer at a safe distance or a cool iron on the lining only with a pressing cloth if absolutely necessary.
8. To refresh the texture, gently brush with a soft-bristle garment brush or use your fingers to fluff the pile. Use a fabric shaver carefully on pilled areas—avoid aggressive shaving.
9. Store on a wide-shoulder hanger in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing the coat to preserve shape and pile.

Style tips

• Casual cool: Layer over a hoodie or chunky knit with straight-leg jeans and sneakers or combat boots for an easy, everyday look.
• Weekend runaround: Wear with leggings, a long tee, and slip-on boots for comfortable mobility and warmth.
• Smart-casual: Team with a slim turtleneck, tailored trousers, and heeled ankle boots. Add a belt over the coat to define the waist for a more polished silhouette.
• Balance the volume: Because of the relaxed drop shoulder, pair with slimmer bottoms (skinny jeans, tapered pants) to keep proportions balanced.
• Accessorize: Pair with a knitted beanie and a chunky scarf in complementary tones. Choose footwear textures (leather boots, suede) to add contrast to the sherpa.
