Plaid Shirt Jacket with Brown and White Pattern and Adjustable Hem Width | Plaid / S 100100152208479

Overview

A modern shirt-jacket hybrid rendered in a brown-and-white plaid, this button-front outer layer balances the familiar structure of a shirt with the warmth and utility of a lightweight jacket. Thoughtful details—functional pockets, a button closure and an adjustable hem—let you tailor the silhouette from relaxed and boxy to slightly cinched. With a midweight hand and dropped shoulders, it’s perfect for everyday layering and travel-friendly styling.

Materials & construction

This piece is constructed from a blended fabric (85% polyester, 10% cotton, 5% spandex), combining synthetic durability with natural softness and a touch of stretch for comfort and recovery. The result is a stable, low-wrinkle fabric that keeps its shape while allowing easy movement. Seams and finishing are designed for casual wear; pockets are incorporated for function.

What each fiber contributes

• Polyester (85%): Provides strength, color retention, quick drying and resistance to shrinking and wrinkling. Makes the garment easy-care and travel-friendly.
• Cotton (10%): Adds breathability and a softer hand against the skin, improving comfort especially for longer wear periods.
• Spandex (5%): Delivers stretch and recovery so seams don’t pull and sleeves move with you—helpful for layering under sweaters or coats.

Fabric advantages — pros & cons

Pros

• Durable and low-maintenance: resists shrinking and wrinkling, easy to launder.
• Comfortable stretch: spandex gives freedom of movement and helps the garment retain its shape.
• Good colorfastness: polyester holds dyes so the brown and white pattern stays vibrant over time.
• Midweight versatility: warm enough for cooler days, light enough for layering in transitional seasons.
• Functional: pockets and an adjustable hem make it practical for everyday use.

Cons

• Less breathable than a 100% natural fiber garment—may be less comfortable in very warm weather.
• Possible pilling or static with heavy friction or repeated wear (common for synthetic blends).
• Environmental considerations: conventional polyester is a petroleum-based fiber; look for recycled alternatives if sustainability is a priority.
• Spandex can be heat-sensitive—excessive high heat in the dryer or iron can reduce elasticity over time.

How to measure — body & garment

To get the best fit, take both your body measurements and (when possible) compare them to the garment measurements. Use a soft tape measure and measure snug but not tight.

Body measurements (how to measure yourself)

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the bust/chest, keeping the tape level and parallel to the floor.
• Waist: Measure at the narrowest point (natural waist) or where you usually wear your pants.
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam (or from tip of one shoulder to the other for body).
• Sleeve length: From the shoulder point (where a seam would sit) down to the wrist with the arm slightly bent.
• Torso length: From the base of the neck (nape) straight down to where you want the jacket to hit.

Garment measurements (how to measure the jacket)

• Lay flat: Place the jacket on a flat surface, smooth but don’t stretch the fabric.
• Bust/Chest: Measure across 1" below the armhole, then double that number to get the full circumference.
• Shoulder: Measure from one shoulder seam to the other across the back.
• Sleeve: From the shoulder seam to the cuff.
• Length: From the highest shoulder point (near the collar) straight down to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem and double for full circumference. This garment includes an adjustable hem so compare both relaxed and cinched measurements if available.

Tip: convert inches to centimeters by multiplying by 2.54 if needed.

Fit notes & sizing advice

• This style is designed for a relaxed, slightly oversized look with dropped shoulders. If you prefer to layer bulky sweaters underneath, consider selecting one size up from your usual size.
• For a closer, more tailored fit, choose the size that closely matches your chest/bust measurement; allow 2–4 inches of ease for light layers, 4–8 inches for thicker layers.
• The adjustable hem lets you create a cropped, blouson effect or let it hang boxy—use that as a styling tool rather than relying solely on sizing.

Model information

The styling sample is shown on a model around 5'7" who wears a small. Her proportions are a good reference if you prefer a similar fit—use this to judge whether you want a closer or roomier look based on your own measurements.

Color & coordination

The brown-and-white plaid combines earthy warmth with crisp contrast. It reads as a neutral wardrobe anchor—pair it with denim (light, mid, or dark wash), cream or black knits, or olive and rust tones for autumnal palettes.

• Casual: white tee, straight-leg jeans, white sneakers.
• Polished-casual: fine-rib turtleneck, tapered trousers, leather ankle boots.
• Layered outdoors: thermal base, midweight sweater, cargos or corduroy pants, lace-up boots.
• Feminine twist: slip dress or midi skirt, cinched hem, suede booties.

Seasonal use

Ideal for transitional weather—spring and autumn—when you want lightweight warmth without bulk. In colder months it functions very well as a middling layer beneath a coat; in mild winter climates it can serve as outerwear on cool days. Not recommended as primary insulation in very cold conditions without additional layers.

Care tips & fit maintenance

General approach: treat the garment as an easy-care blended piece—gentle washing and low heat drying preserve stretch and prevent fiber degradation.

• Fasten buttons before washing to reduce snagging and distortion.
• Wash inside out on a gentle or cold cycle with similar colors.
• Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or strong stain removers that can damage spandex fibers.
• Tumble dry on low or hang to dry; high heat can reduce elasticity and cause pilling.
• If needed, use a low-heat iron or a steamer to remove wrinkles—place a cloth between iron and fabric.
• To remove pills, use a fabric shaver or pill comb gently—don’t pull at the fabric.

Care guide — keep it looking great longer

1. Spot-treat stains quickly with a mild detergent and cool water. Blot—don’t rub—to avoid pushing stains deeper into fibers.
2. Turn the jacket inside out before machine washing to protect the outer surface and the plaid print.
3. For best long-term results, air dry on a hanger or flat; reshape while damp to preserve silhouette.
4. Store folded or on a wide-shoulder hanger; avoid wire hangers that can distort the shoulders.
5. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when storing to reduce color fading.

Style tips

• Layer over a fitted turtleneck and slim jeans for a balanced silhouette.
• Use the adjustable hem to turn the shacket into a cropped layer—pair cropped hem with high-waisted trousers or skirts.
• For weekend errands, wear over a hoodie for a streetwear-inspired layered look.
• Elevate the plaid by adding leather accessories—belt, bag or ankle boots—to contrast texture.
• Mix prints carefully: if you wear another pattern beneath, keep it small-scale and in a complementary color family.

FAQ

Is the fit true to size?

Generally yes for a relaxed, slightly oversized fit. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes—this design includes working pockets for practical use.

How does the adjustable hem work?

The hem is designed to change the silhouette so you can cinch for a blouson look or release for a boxier fit. Check product imagery or on-garment details to see the adjustment mechanism.

Will it keep me warm in winter?

It’s midweight—great for mild to cool weather and ideal as a layering piece under a heavier coat for cold weather.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, turn inside out, tumble dry low or air dry; avoid high heat to preserve the spandex content.

Does it shrink?

Shrinkage is minimal due to the polyester content, but excessive heat can affect fit—follow care recommendations to avoid changes.

Is the plaid pattern the same on both sides?

The exterior displays the plaid pattern; interior construction may be unlined and show the reverse side of the fabric.

Is this an eco-friendly fabric?

The blend uses conventional polyester, which is a synthetic fiber. If sustainability is a priority, look for garments made from recycled polyester or higher cotton content.
