Distressed Raw Hem Cropped Denim Jacket | Light / XS 100100922721118

How to measure

Measure the jacket laid flat on a smooth surface, fully closed (buttons/zips fastened) and smoothed but not stretched. Record both the flat measurement and, where noted, the doubled circumference. Convert: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Round to the nearest 0.5 cm (or 1/4").

1. Chest (pit-to-pit): Measure straight across the front from the inside seam at one armpit to the inside seam at the other armpit. Double this number for chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder seam across the back to the outer edge of the opposite shoulder seam.
3. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. If needed, you can alternatively measure from the center back at the base of the neck, across the shoulder, and down to the cuff for a CB-to-cuff length.
4. Back length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder at the base of the neck (center back) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width: Measure flat across the bottom hem from side to side and double for the circumference.
6. Cuff opening: Measure the cuff width flat; double for the circumference.

Quick tips: take measurements with the jacket lying naturally (don’t stretch), note whether measurements are taken before or after washing, and provide both inches and centimeters for clarity.

Materials

Below are the typical components for a distressed raw hem cropped denim jacket. Always check the sewn content label on the garment for the exact composition.

• Main fabric: Denim — commonly 100% cotton (rigid denim) or a cotton-rich blend with a small % of elastane (e.g., ~98% cotton / 2% elastane) for a touch of stretch. Rigid denim softens with wear; blends offer more give.
• Hardware: Metal buttons/snaps (antique brass, silver, or nickel finishes) and sometimes metal rivets at pocket stress points.
• Trims & thread: Durable polyester or poly/cotton topstitching; pocket bags usually cotton or cotton-blend.
• Finish: Raw (unfinished) hem at the cropped edge that is intentionally distressed and may show light fraying.

Note: If you have metal sensitivities, consult the product label or customer service for information about nickel-free finishes or plated hardware.

Model information & fit

Fit overview: This is a cropped, slightly boxy jacket with a raw hem designed to sit above the natural waist on most heights. It’s intended to be roomy enough for light layering.

Model reference: The model shown is 5'9" (175 cm) and is wearing a size S. On this model the jacket hits around the high-waist. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up for extra layering room.

How it should fit: Shoulder seams should align with your shoulders for a true fit; sleeves should reach the wrist if you prefer full-length sleeves (or can be cuffed for a shorter look). For a more fitted silhouette, choose your usual size; for oversized/ layered styling, take one size up.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

• Wash sparingly: Denim looks better with less frequent washing. Spot-clean when possible to preserve color and shape.
• First wash: Turn inside out and wash separately or with like colors to reduce dye transfer. Use cold water.
• Machine wash: Cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners (they break down fibers and can affect distressing).
• Hand wash: For delicate care around the raw hem, hand-wash in cold water and handle gently.
• Drying: Hang to dry or lay flat to retain shape. Avoid high-heat tumble drying which can cause shrinkage and increase fraying at raw edges.
• Ironing: Iron inside out on medium heat if needed. Avoid pressing the raw hem directly to preserve texture.
• Raw hem care: Trim any long loose threads rather than pulling them. If fraying becomes excessive, have a tailor secure the inside of the hem with a discreet stitch.
• Stains: Spot-treat with cold water and a mild detergent; test any stain remover on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to reduce fading and distortion.
• Repairs: Small holes or widened tears should be stitched or patched by a professional to maintain the intended distressed look.

Style tips

• Denim-on-denim: Pair with high-waisted jeans — choose a different wash (lighter or darker) for contrast. Cropped length pairs best with high-rise bottoms.
• Casual everyday: Layer over a tucked tee and finish with sneakers or low boots for an effortless, lived-in look.
• Layered street style: Wear over a slim hoodie or lightweight sweatshirt; leave the jacket open to show the layers.
• Feminine contrast: Throw over a slip dress or midi skirt and add ankle boots to mix soft and rugged textures.
• Office-casual: Choose a darker indigo wash and wear with a crisp blouse and tailored trousers for a polished twist on casual dressing.
• Evening: Dress up with a satin cami, statement earrings, and heeled boots or sandals.
• Accessories: Add a slim belt at the waist of your outfit, layer necklaces, or pin a brooch to the collar to personalize the jacket.
• Body-shape tip: The cropped, boxy cut complements high-waisted pieces and helps define the waist—pair accordingly for a flattering silhouette.
