Houndstooth Button Down Jacket

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and keep it parallel to the floor. Measure either your body (to choose a size) or a jacket you already own (to compare product measurements).

Measure your body

• Chest/Bust: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest with arms relaxed; keep it snug but not tight.
• Waist: Measure at the natural waist (narrowest part of the torso).
• Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.
• Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back.
• Sleeve length: With arm slightly bent, measure from the shoulder seam (or from the center back of the neck for center-back sleeve measurement) down to the wrist bone.
• Back length: From the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the hem.

Measure the jacket (recommended when comparing to a product size chart)

• Chest (armpit-to-armpit): Lay the jacket flat, fasten the front, measure straight across 1–2 cm below the armholes. Double that number to get chest circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure seam-to-seam across the back at the shoulder seams.
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
• Back length: Measure from the base of the collar (center back) to the hem.
• Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom edge and double for circumference.

Fit guidance: For a close fit allow 1–2 in (2.5–5 cm) ease; for light layering allow 3–4 in (7.5–10 cm); for an oversized look allow 4–8 in (10–20 cm). Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials

Houndstooth describes the woven pattern; fiber content can vary. Typical materials for a button-down jacket of this style:

• Shell: Houndstooth woven fabric — commonly a wool blend (warm, structured) or a polyester/viscose blend (durable, easier care). Typical mixes range around 50–70% wool or polyester with remaining fibers such as viscose, nylon or elastane for comfort and resilience.
• Lining: Smooth polyester or viscose lining for comfort and easy layering.
• Trims & interlining: Lightweight interfacing at collar/placket and buttons made from plastic, corozo or horn-effect materials.

If you need the exact fiber percentages for this specific item, check the sewn care label or the product’s technical details on the product page.

Care guide — to keep it lovely longer

• Recommended: Dry clean for best results—especially for wool-blend shells—to preserve shape, color and finish.
• Spot cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. For small stains use cold water and mild detergent; test on an inside seam first.
• Machine wash (only if label allows): Gentle/delicate cycle, cold water, mild detergent, inside a mesh bag; reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.
• Do not tumble dry: Heat can shrink or distort fabric and lining.
• Ironing & steaming: Steam to remove wrinkles. If ironing, use low heat and a pressing cloth to protect the weave.
• Storage: Hang on a shaped or padded hanger, store in a breathable garment bag, and avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
• Moth prevention: For wool blends use cedar blocks or lavender sachets and ensure clothing is clean before long-term storage.
• Refresh & maintenance: Use a lint roller or clothes brush for surface fibers; a fabric shaver removes pilling safely.
• Note: Always follow the garment’s sewn care label—the label provides the definitive instructions for this specific jacket.

Style tips

• Casual: Throw over a white tee and slim jeans; finish with clean sneakers or ankle boots for an easy everyday look.
• Office: Layer over a crisp button-down or a fine turtleneck and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt; loafers or low heels complete the outfit.
• Elevated: Belt at the waist over a blouse or dress for a defined silhouette and add heeled ankle boots or pumps.
• Mixing patterns: Pair houndstooth with solids or very small-scale prints; keep one piece neutral to balance the ensemble.
• Accessories: A brooch on the lapel, a slim leather belt, or warm metallic jewelry add polish to monochrome palettes.
• Seasonal: Great for transitional weather—layer a lightweight knit underneath for cool days, or wear open with a tee in milder temperatures.
