Drawstring Zip Up Dropped Shoulder Active Outerwear | Dusty Pink / S 100100692886503

How to measure

For the most accurate fit, measure the garment laid flat on a table, with seams smoothed but not stretched. Use a flexible tape measure and record both centimeters and inches (1 in = 2.54 cm).

• Chest (pit-to-pit): Zip the jacket closed, lay flat and measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
• Back length: Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where the shoulder meets the collar) straight down to the hem.
• Shoulder width: Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other. For a dropped-shoulder style, measure from the outer edge of one shoulder seam to the other (the seam will sit lower than a set-in shoulder).
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam (where sleeve meets body) down the outside of the sleeve to the cuff. For overall sleeve length reference, you can alternatively measure from center back neck to cuff.
• Hem width (bottom opening): Measure straight across the hem from side to side and double for circumference.
• Cuff opening: Measure the cuff laid flat across and double for full circumference.
• Hood (if applicable): Measure hood depth from the base (neck seam) to the front edge and hood width across the base when laid flat.

Quick tips: compare these garment measurements to a jacket you already own that fits the way you like. For layering, add 2–4" (5–10 cm) of ease to chest and sleeve measurements.

Materials & construction

Active outerwear of this style is commonly constructed from performance-knits or soft fleece blends. Typical components and what they mean for performance:

• Main fabric: Polyester/elastane technical knit (commonly ~88–92% polyester, 8–12% elastane) — lightweight, quick-drying, stretchy and shape-retaining. Ideal for movement and active use.
• Alternative body fabrics: Cotton-blend French terry or brushed fleece (e.g., 60–80% cotton, 20–40% polyester) — softer and warmer but may require gentler care and can shrink if exposed to high heat.
• Trim and panels: Nylon or woven polyester for wind or water resistance in shoulder/hood panels.
• Hardware & details: Durable zipper (often YKK or molded plastic), metal or reinforced eyelets on drawstrings, cotton or polyester cord drawstring with aglets.

Note: always confirm exact composition on the garment’s care label (usually at a side seam or inside collar) — composition affects care and performance (e.g., water repellency, stretch recovery).

Model information & fit notes

Example model details (replace with your site’s actual model stats as needed):

• Model height: 175 cm / 5'9"
• Model measurements: Bust 81 cm / 32", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"
• Wearing size: Small

Fit notes: the dropped shoulder creates a relaxed, slightly oversized silhouette. If you prefer a more streamlined look, choose your usual size; if you plan to layer bulky sweaters, consider sizing up one size.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow the garment’s care label first. Use the guidance below to extend life, preserve color and performance, and protect hardware and finishes.

• Before washing: Zip up the jacket, tie or tuck drawstrings, empty pockets, and turn the garment inside out. Close any Velcro or hooks. Use a laundry bag for delicate trims or exposed hardware.
• Washing: Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Avoid fabric softeners (they can reduce wicking and DWR performance).
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry. Tumble dry low only if the care label permits — high heat can shrink, damage elastane, and affect finishes.
• Ironing & steaming: If needed, iron on low heat from the inside; avoid direct heat on prints, reflective trims or elastane panels. A short steam at a safe distance refreshes shape without pressing.
• Spot care: Blot stains promptly with mild soap and water. For persistent marks, follow label instructions or use a gentle stain remover tested on an inconspicuous spot first.
• Pilling & abrasion: Reduce friction by avoiding rough surfaces and Velcro contact. Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or depiller.
• Hardware care: Keep zippers free of lint—brush teeth occasionally and fasten zippers during washing. If zipper sticks, a small amount of graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant helps.
• Storage: Fold or hang on a wide, supportive hanger. For long-term storage, keep folded in a breathable container away from direct sunlight to avoid fading and degradation of elastic fibers.
• DWR / water-repellent finishes: If the garment has a DWR coating, follow label care and consider reapplying a spray-on DWR after multiple washes to restore repellency.

Style tips

Versatile and functional — a few ways to wear this piece:

• Classic athleisure: Pair with high-waisted leggings and clean trainers. Zip up for warmth or leave open over a performance tee.
• Layered street look: Wear over a cropped tee, add relaxed denim or joggers, finish with chunky sneakers or ankle boots. Use the drawstring to define the waist or leave loose for a relaxed silhouette.
• Transition weather: Use it as a mid-layer under a lightweight shell for wind or rain, or over a long-sleeve tee as temperatures drop.
• Smart-casual: Pair zipped-up with slim chinos and minimalist sneakers for a clean, elevated off-duty outfit.
• Accessorize: Add a crossbody bag, baseball cap or beanie. Half-zip and collar up create a more structured look; hood up and drawstring cinched read casual and sporty.
• Fit styling: For a cropped look, tighten and knot the drawstring; for layering over bulky knits choose one size up.
