HYFVE Houndstooth Contrast Raw Hem Jacket

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure either your body (to choose the right size) or an existing jacket laid flat (to report product dimensions). Record measurements in inches or centimeters. Repeat each measurement once or twice for accuracy.

Measure your body

1. Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust/chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally — don’t pull the tape too tight.
2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist (typically above the belly button).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips, about 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) below the waist depending on your height.
4. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other (where a jacket’s seam would sit).
5. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the wrist bone with your arm relaxed slightly bent.
6. Torso length (Desired jacket length): Measure from the base of the neck (center back) down to where you want the jacket hem to fall.

Measure the jacket (lay flat)

1. Chest (pit-to-pit): Lay the jacket flat, smooth out wrinkles, measure across from one underarm seam to the other, then double that number for the full circumference.
2. Waist (flat): Measure across the narrowest part of the jacket body and double it for circumference.
3. Hem width: Measure across the bottom edge and double it.
4. Shoulder (seam to seam): Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
5. Sleeve length: From the shoulder seam to the cuff.
6. Back length: From the center back neck seam (base of neck) to the hem.
7. Tip: Compare these flat measurements to a similar jacket you already own and prefer—the closest match will give you the best sense of fit.

Materials

Exact fiber content varies by production batch—always check the sewn-in care label or the product specification on the product page for precise composition. Typical materials and components for a houndstooth contrast raw hem jacket include:

• Outer / Shell: Woven houndstooth fabric — commonly a polyester/viscose or polyester/cotton blend for durability and easy care; some versions may include wool for texture.
• Contrast panels / trims: Coordinating woven or knitted fabric (polyester blend or cotton blend) to create the contrast detail.
• Lining: Smooth polyester or acetate lining for comfortable layering and easier on/off.
• Hardware: Buttons or zippers typically made from resin, metal, or coated metals.
• Raw hem detail: Cut, unfinished edge intentionally left to fray slightly for a lived-in look—this is a design element, not a defect.

What this means for care and performance: polyester blends are generally durable and more machine-wash friendly; viscose may be more delicate; wool blends usually require gentler handling or dry cleaning. Refer to the garment label for the definitive care instructions.

Model information

Example model details shown in product imagery (use these as a guide for fit):

Fit note: The HYFVE Houndstooth Contrast Raw Hem Jacket has a slightly cropped, tailored look with a raw edge hem—if you prefer extra room for layering, consider sizing up. Always compare your body or flat-jacket measurements to the size chart to choose the best fit.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the garment’s sewn-in care label first. General care tips for houndstooth woven jackets and raw hem details:

• Check the care label—if it says “Dry Clean Only,” take it to a professional cleaner.
• For machine-washable polyester blends: turn the jacket inside out, close buttons/fastenings, place in a mesh laundry bag, wash on a cold gentle cycle with mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and strong detergents. Wash with like colors.
• Raw hem: avoid aggressive agitation and high-heat tumble drying (which can increase fraying). Air dry flat or hang to dry, reshape while damp if needed.
• Iron/steam: use a low-heat iron on the reverse side or use a steamer to remove wrinkles—test on an inconspicuous spot first.
• Spot-clean small stains quickly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains on delicate fibers (viscose or wool blends), professional cleaning is best.
• To control raw-hem fraying: gently trim long loose threads with small scissors; for long-term security, a tailor can apply a discreet reinforcement stitch or a small dab of textile fray-sealer along the inside edge.
• Storage: hang on a shaped or padded hanger to preserve shoulder shape; keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a breathable garment bag for seasonal storage and add cedar or a moth repellent if storing wool blends.

Style Tips

• Casual: Throw the jacket over a white tee and straight-leg jeans. Finish with ankle boots or clean white sneakers to keep the look relaxed but put-together.
• Office / Smart Casual: Layer over a button-down blouse or fine knit turtleneck and pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. Add loafers or low block heels for polish.
• Evening: Wear over a slip dress or a sleek monochrome outfit; add heels and bold earrings to elevate the houndstooth contrast.
• Proportion play: Because of the raw hem and slightly cropped silhouette, high-waisted bottoms (jeans, trousers, or skirts) balance the proportions beautifully.
• Mixing patterns: Keep the rest of your outfit simple—houndstooth is a statement print. If mixing prints, choose one additional pattern in a different scale (e.g., thin stripes) and keep colors cohesive.
• Accessories: A slim belt can define the waist when worn open or closed; simple gold or silver jewelry complements the classic houndstooth motif.
• Color pairings: Neutrals (black, white, cream, camel) are foolproof. For a pop, try deep red, mustard, or forest green accents.
