Collared Neck Raw Hem Dropped Shoulder Denim Jacket | Light / S 100100473358489

A laid-back, lived-in denim jacket crafted with an intentionally frayed hem and a roomy dropped-shoulder silhouette. Distressing, metal studs and a vintage-washed surface give it attitude while functional patch pockets and a button-front keep it practical. Designed to layer over tees, knits and dresses, this piece becomes a go-to topper for everyday outfits.

Fabric & Materials — what makes it feel and wear the way it does

The jacket is built from a classic denim weave made mostly of natural cotton with a small synthetic content to improve durability and shape retention. The fabric is rigid rather than stretchy, so it holds structure and the intentionally raw hem will soften and fray slightly over time as part of the design. The washed surface is achieved through mechanical and/or enzyme treatments that break in the cotton for a softer hand and a vintage look. Stud details are metal hardware attached to the shell—these add visual interest but need a little extra care when laundering or wearing with delicate fabrics.

Fabric Advantages — Pros

• Authentic denim texture and structure that gives shape and a classic look.
• Cotton-rich hand is breathable and comfortable against skin; softens with wear.
• Synthetic fiber blended in increases dimensional stability, reduces shrinking and helps the jacket keep its silhouette after washes.
• Washed finish provides a lived-in, low-maintenance appearance—hides minor wear and small stains.
• Stud accents and raw hem create trend-forward, versatile styling options from casual to edgy.

Fabric Considerations — Cons

• Non-stretch construction limits mobility compared with stretch denim—expect a more structured fit.
• Raw hem is intentionally frayed and may continue to shed small fibers; avoid wearing with very delicate materials until fibers settle.
• Metal studs can catch on knits or scarves and may require careful washing to avoid damage to other garments or the hardware itself.
• Denim color can fade gradually—washing and sun exposure will change hue over time.

How to measure the garment (to compare with your wardrobe)

To check fit against a jacket you already own, lay both garments flat on a smooth surface. Measure with a soft tape or ruler and record the following:

• Chest/Bust (flat): Measure straight across the jacket at about 1" below the armholes. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Shoulder Width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (if seams are present).
• Sleeve Length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If the jacket has a raglan or dropped shoulder, measure from the seam or from where you want the shoulder to sit for the intended fit.
• Front Length: Measure from the highest point at the front (near where the collar meets the shoulder) straight down to the hem.
• Back Length: Measure from the center back at the base of the collar down to the hem.
• Hem Opening: Measure across the hem at the front or back to understand how it sits around your waist/hips.

How to measure your body for the best size

• Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight.
• Shoulder span (optional): Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across your back—useful if you have broad/narrow shoulders.
• Arm length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the top of the arm at the shoulder point to the wrist.
• Torso length: If you care about where the jacket will fall, measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you’d like the hem to hit.

Sizing tip: for a streamlined look allow about 1–2 inches of garment ease (garment measurement larger than your body measurement). For layering with sweaters or hoodies, aim for 3–6 inches of ease depending on how roomy you want the fit.

Model & Styling Notes

If product photos are shown without detailed model metrics, use the measuring method above to compare this jacket to a similar piece in your wardrobe. This jacket’s dropped shoulders and boxier cut read more relaxed than fitted—expect extra room through the chest and body. Petite customers may prefer to size down for a less oversized look and roll sleeves for proportion; taller customers should verify sleeve and torso lengths if they require longer coverage.

Color & How to Combine It

The washed denim wash gives a lived-in blue tone that pairs effortlessly with neutrals, earth tones and brights. Outfit ideas:

• Weekend casual: white tee, high-rise jeans (same or darker wash) and white sneakers for a clean, tonal vibe.
• Feminine contrast: layer over a midi slip dress and add ankle boots for an easy day-to-night look.
• Street edge: wear over a hoodie, cargo pants and chunky boots; studs add subtle rock-inspired detail.
• Office-casual: pair with tailored trousers and loafers for a relaxed yet polished combination (avoid overly formal accessories to keep the balance).

Style & Where It Fits in Your Wardrobe

This jacket straddles casual, street and vintage-inspired wardrobes. The raw hem and studs add an edge that updates classic denim—great as a transitional layer and for outfits that need personality without overworking.

Season Suitability

• Ideal for spring and autumn as a mid-weight topper.
• Works for cool summer evenings and can be layered in winter over sweaters and under heavier coats for extra warmth.
• Not designed as a heavy winter parka—add insulating layers if temperatures drop below freezing.

Fit Notes

• Dropped-shoulder construction creates an inherently relaxed look—expect a slightly slouchy arm and chest area.
• The jacket is non-stretch; if you plan to wear bulky knitwear underneath, choose more garment ease than for a T-shirt layer.
• If you prefer a tailored silhouette, consider sizing down one size or having slight tailoring at the shoulders.

Care Tips

• Turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the washed surface and hardware.
• Use cold water and a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and strong detergents that strip color.
• Fasten buttons to preserve shape and prevent snagging during laundering.
• Air drying is gentler on denim and hardware; if you use a dryer, choose a low-heat, short cycle to reduce wear and shrinkage.
• Spot clean small stains quickly to limit full washes—this helps preserve both color and the raw hem aesthetic.

Care Guide — keep it looking great longer

1. Spot-clean with a damp cloth for small marks—use mild soap if needed and rinse the area.
2. When washing, place the jacket in a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction between studs and other items.
3. Wash with similarly colored garments to prevent dye transfer.
4. Reshape while damp—smooth seams and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to limit fading.
5. If studs become dull, gently polish metal hardware with a soft cloth; avoid polishes that leave residue on fabric.
6. If the raw hem starts to fray unevenly, trim loose long threads carefully or secure the edge with a subtle hand-stitch if you prefer the original length preserved.
7. Store on a wide hanger to maintain shoulder shape and avoid folding heavy creases into the raw hem area.

Style Tips — make it your own

• Layer a thin roll-neck underneath and cuff the sleeves for a chic, modern silhouette.
• Belt over the jacket at the waist to create instant shape and transform the look for dressier occasions.
• Mix textures—pair with leather, suede or knit to highlight the denim’s ruggedness and stud details.
• For a cohesive double-denim outfit, contrast washes (light jacket over dark jeans) to keep the look intentional.
• Dress it up by adding statement earrings and a structured bag; the raw hem adds a deliberate counterpoint to polished accessories.

FAQ

Will the raw hem keep fraying more over time?

The raw hem is designed to have a frayed look and may release small fibers during early washes. Trimming long loose threads and washing inside out on gentle cycles will help keep the appearance controlled.

Do the studs come loose with wear?

Studs are generally secured at manufacture, but any embellishment can loosen after heavy wear. Avoid catching the studs on coarse fabrics; if one loosens, a gentle reattachment by a tailor or small repair kit can secure it again.

Does the jacket shrink?

Because the fabric is mostly natural fiber, some minimal shrinkage is possible if exposed to high heat. Following gentle cold washes and air-drying reduces shrinkage risk.

Can I dry clean this jacket?

Dry cleaning is an option if you prefer professional care—notify the cleaner about the studs and raw hem so they can protect those details during processing.

Is the fit true to size?

The design favors a relaxed, slightly boxier fit due to the dropped shoulders. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette, consider selecting one size down or consult the measurement guidance to compare with a jacket you already own.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes—this style includes functional patch pockets suitable for small essentials; however, avoid overfilling to maintain the jacket’s lines.

How often should I wash denim like this?

Wash only when necessary—spot treat when possible. Frequent washing accelerates color loss and wear; many denim aficionados recommend infrequent washing to preserve tone and fabric integrity.
