Davi & Dani Faux Fur Zip Up Jacket | Cream / S 100100772338105

Overview

Plush, zip-front outerwear that adds instant polish to everyday looks while keeping movement unrestricted. The short-to-mid length silhouette and practical hand pockets make it an easy top layer for commutes, nights out, or travel. The pile provides a tactile, high-end finish so you get the statement of a luxury coat without animal-derived materials.

Materials & Construction

This piece is constructed from a synthetic pile — polyester fibers are formed into a fur-like surface that is attached to a textile backing. Polyester faux fur is engineered to mimic the depth, sheen and softness of natural fur but is made from man-made fibers. Typical manufacturing involves extrusion of polymer filaments, texturizing and cutting the yarn to create the pile, then securing the pile to a woven or knitted backing for stability.

Practical notes about the construction: the pile creates insulating air pockets, the zip closure gives a clean front line and easy on/off, and interior seams are left with minimal structure so the jacket drapes more softly than heavily tailored outerwear.

Fabric Advantages — Pros

• Soft, luxe hand: tactile surface that reads luxe and photographs well.
• Cruelty‑free alternative to natural fur while delivering similar visual impact.
• Durable color retention: polyester holds dyes and resists fading better than many natural fibers.
• Quick-drying and relatively low-maintenance compared with delicate natural furs.
• Light-to-moderate insulation without the weight of heavy winter coats — easy to layer.

Fabric Limitations — Cons

• Can shed or produce loose fibres during the first few wears; gentle brushing reduces this over time.
• Less breathable than natural fibers — may feel warm indoors with heavy layering.
• Synthetic fibers can attract static and hold odors more than natural fibers.
• Environmental impact: conventional polyester is petroleum-based and can release microplastics during laundering unless precautions are taken.

How to Measure — Body and Garment

Measuring your body (use a soft tape and a well-fitting bra)

1. Bust/Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed—do not pull tight.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder bone to the other across the top of the back. Ask a friend for accuracy.
3. Arm / sleeve length: With a slightly bent elbow, measure from the shoulder point (where the shoulder seam would sit) down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone.
4. High point shoulder (HPS) to hem: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) straight down the center back to where you want the jacket to hit.

Measuring a jacket you already own (flat measurements)

1. Bust (flat): Lay the jacket flat, smooth it, measure across from armpit seam to armpit seam and double that number to get the full chest/bust measurement.
2. Shoulder (flat): Measure straight across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve (seam): Measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff.
4. Length: Measure from the high point shoulder (HPS) down the center back to the hem.

How to use these numbers to choose the right size

Compare your body measurements (or your favorite jacket’s flat measurements) with the product’s listed measurements. Decide how much wearing ease you want:

• 2–3" of ease = close, sleeker fit
• 4–6" of ease = comfortable for normal layering
• 6–10"+ of ease = oversized look or room for thick sweaters

Choose the size whose chest/bust measurement is at least equal to your body measurement plus your preferred ease. Pay special attention to shoulder and sleeve numbers if you have broader shoulders or long arms.

Model Reference

Product photographs on retailer pages often list the model’s height and the sample size they’re wearing. If those details are shown, use them to visualize how the garment fits. If model information is not provided, assume photography uses a standard fit model; always rely on the product measurements and the “How to measure” guidance above for accurate sizing.

Color & How to Combine

Faux-fur jackets pair well with both casual and elevated pieces because of their texture and presence. Consider these combinations:

• Neutrals (black, cream, tan): Pair with slim dark denim and ankle boots for a chic daily look, or over a monochrome dress for evening polish.
• Rich tones (burgundy, deep green, navy): Balance with clean lines — a turtleneck and tailored trousers or a pencil skirt.
• Contrast textures: Smooth leather or coated denim provides a modern counterpoint to the plush pile; silk or satin dresses make evenings feel glamorous.
• Street style: Wear it over a sweatshirt, wide-leg jeans and chunky sneakers for a relaxed, current silhouette.

Small accessories like a leather belt (worn over the jacket to define the waist) or a long pendant can change the jacket from sporty to polished instantly.

Style Notes

The zip-front styling gives the jacket a contemporary edge compared with open-front coat shapes. The slightly boxy drape makes it versatile — it can read sporty when zipped, or more relaxed when left open. Because the interior has less built-in structure than lined outerwear, you’ll notice a softer silhouette that layers easily under midweight coats if needed.

Season & Use

Best suited to fall through early spring in temperate climates. The jacket is ideal for cool, dry weather and for situations where you want warmth plus mobility — city errands, travel, evenings out. It is not intended as technical outerwear for long exposure in rain, heavy snow, or extended sub-zero conditions unless layered with weatherproof pieces.

Care Guide — Keep it looking lovely longer

General care routine:

• Brush the pile gently with a soft-bristled garment brush or shake it out after wear to maintain loft and remove surface dust.
• Spot-clean small marks immediately using a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild detergent; blot rather than rub to avoid matting the pile.
• When laundering is needed, follow care symbols on the garment. For home washing use a gentle cycle with cold water, fasten the zip, and turn the jacket inside out or place in a mesh bag. Use a mild, low-alkaline detergent and avoid fabric softeners (they can coat fibers).
• Dry on low heat or air-dry flat. High heat can damage or melt synthetic fibers; if using a dryer, a short low-heat tumble with a couple of clean tennis balls can help restore loft.
• For stubborn stains or structure repair, choose a professional cleaner experienced with faux fur or synthetics.
• Store on a wide hanger in a breathable bag or open space; avoid crushing under heavy items. Air the garment before returning it to storage to prevent trapped odors.

Additional longevity tips: wash less frequently (over-washing wears down fibers), remove lint with a roller or gentle brush, and spot test any detergent or stain remover in an inconspicuous area first.

Fit Notes & Practical Tips

• If you plan to wear bulky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up to preserve comfortable arm and chest movement.
• Because the jacket has a shorter, boxy shape, it pairs best with slimmer bottoms (skinny jeans, tapered trousers) or a high-waisted skirt to balance proportions.
• Pockets are useful for small essentials, but avoid overfilling to keep the front lines neat.
• If you prefer more structure, add a thin, fitted layer underneath to give definition without bulk.

FAQ

Is this real fur?

No — this is a synthetic (polyester) faux fur designed to look and feel like natural fur without animal products.

Will the jacket keep me warm?

Yes for everyday cold-weather use and transitional months. It provides moderate insulation; for extreme cold, layer with a heavier coat or insulating mid-layer.

Does it shed?

Some initial shedding can occur as loose fibers work free; this usually diminishes after a few wears. Regular gentle brushing helps minimize visible fibers.

Can I wash it at home?

Home laundering is commonly possible on gentle settings with cold water, but following the garment’s care label is essential. For best results with tough stains or to preserve pile, consider professional cleaning.

Is it water resistant?

Faux fur is not waterproof. Light drizzle may bead briefly, but prolonged exposure to moisture can mat the pile; use a weatherproof outer layer for wet conditions.

Is it sustainable?

Conventional polyester is derived from fossil fuels. If sustainability is a key concern, look for recycled polyester (rPET) options or brands that disclose responsible sourcing and end-of-life recycling programs.

Style Ideas

• Weekend chic: zip up, add straight-leg jeans and Chelsea boots.
• City-to-night: wear over a slip dress with ankle-strap heels and a clutch.
• Office-friendly: layer over a slim turtleneck and tailored trousers; finish with loafers.
• Weekend athleisure: pair with a hoodie, joggers and clean sneakers for relaxed layering.
• Define the waist: add a leather or fabric belt over the jacket to convert it into a tailored topper.

Final Notes

This faux-fur zip jacket is a versatile piece that elevates both casual and dressier outfits. For the best fit, compare the product’s flat measurements to your own body or a favorite jacket and allow the ease that suits your preferred layering.
