Culture Code Full Size Ruched Open Front Long Sleeve Jacket | JASPERG / 1XL 100100395375675

How to measure this jacket

To get the most accurate fit, measure the jacket laid flat on a smooth surface with a flexible cloth tape. For any "half" (flat) measurement, double the number to get the full circumference (e.g., 18" flat = 36" chest).

Quick measuring steps

1. Place the jacket on a flat surface and fasten any closures (if applicable). Smooth out wrinkles but do not stretch ruched areas.
2. Use a soft tape measure and record to the nearest 1/4" (0.5 cm).
3. Measure twice to confirm and compare with a similar jacket that fits you well.

Garment measurement guide

Materials & fabric details

Typical composition for this ruched, stretch open‑front jacket:

• Main fabric: 95% polyester, 5% elastane (spandex) — medium‑weight stretch knit (ponte/jersey style)
• Ruching: elastic thread or gathered knit panels for controlled gather and recovery
• Lining: generally unlined for a lightweight open silhouette (check garment label for confirmation)

Fabric characteristics:

• Stretch: moderate to high (comfortable layering and movement)
• Care: synthetic blend resists wrinkling but elastane degrades with high heat
• Opacity: typically opaque at normal tension; ruching may create minor surface texture

Note: Always refer to the sewn care/composition label on your specific item for exact fiber content and care instructions.

Fit notes: The jacket is designed to be true to size with shaping from the ruched panels. If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up. Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements (particularly chest and shoulder) to choose the best fit.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Check the sewn care label first; follow label instructions if they differ.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn the jacket inside out and use a mesh laundry bag to protect ruching.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid chlorine bleach and strong fabric softeners (they can break down elastane).
• Remove promptly after wash and reshape while damp—gently smooth the ruched areas back into place.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry. If tumble drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and remove quickly; high heat can damage stretch fibers and ruching.
• To remove wrinkles, steam gently. If ironing is needed, press inside out with a low‑heat iron and a pressing cloth; avoid pressing directly on ruched panels.
• Dry cleaning is generally safe for synthetic blends; follow label guidance.
• Store on a shaped hanger or folded carefully to avoid crushing the ruching. Use a fabric shaver for light pilling—test on an inconspicuous area first.
• For spot stains, blot with cold water and mild detergent; avoid vigorous rubbing over ruched areas.

Style tips

• Office: Layer over a fitted blouse or shell and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt for a polished, professional look.
• Casual: Wear with a simple tee, high‑rise jeans, and ankle boots or sneakers for effortless daywear.
• Evening: Drape over a slip dress or a slim midi dress; add strappy heels and statement earrings to highlight the ruched texture.
• Belt it: Add a slim belt over the open front to define the waist and create a tailored silhouette when desired.
• Travel friendly: The synthetic stretch knit resists wrinkles—layer it over a tee and leggings for a comfortable, put‑together travel outfit.
• Accessories: Because ruching adds texture, balance with simple necklaces or bold earrings rather than busy necklines right next to the face.
