Ivy Lane Zip Up Long Sleeve Hooded Watertight Jacket | Gold / S 100100979371218

How to measure this jacket

Use a soft measuring tape, a flat surface and the jacket zipped up and laid flat. Record measurements in inches and/or cm (1 in = 2.54 cm).

1. Chest (pit-to-pit → full circumference)
   Lay the jacket flat and smooth out wrinkles. Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other (about 1" / 2.5 cm below the armhole). Multiply that number by 2 to get the chest circumference.
   Example: 20" pit-to-pit → 40" chest (≈ 50.8 cm → 101.6 cm)
2. Back length (center back)
   Measure from the center of the base of the collar (where the collar meets the body) straight down to the bottom hem.
3. Shoulder width
   Measure across the upper back from seam to seam (shoulder seam to shoulder seam) while the jacket is flat.
4. Sleeve length
   Two common methods:
   • Shoulder seam to cuff: measure from the shoulder seam straight along the sleeve to the end of the cuff.
   • Center back to cuff: for a full-arm measurement, start at the center back base of the neck, run the tape over the shoulder and down the arm to the cuff.
   Use whichever method your size chart uses and note which you took.
5. Hem width
   Measure laid flat across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for circumference.
6. Hood depth (optional)
   Measure from the front edge of the hood (where it meets the face opening) to the back seam of the hood along the top.

Tip: When comparing to a jacket you already own, measure that jacket the same way and compare values rather than relying on body measurements alone. If you plan to layer bulky sweaters under this jacket, consider sizing up.

Materials & construction (what to expect)

The Ivy Lane Zip Up Hooded Watertight Jacket is designed as a technical shell-style rain jacket. Typical materials and components used in this type of jacket include:

• Outer shell: nylon or polyester (often 100% polyester/nylon plain-weave or ripstop) with a waterproof coating or laminate (PU/TPU).
• Membrane/laminate: a waterproof breathable layer (PU, TPU, or laminated membrane) that blocks water while allowing some vapor transfer.
• DWR finish: Durable Water Repellent treatment on the outer face to make water bead and roll off. Over time this finish can wear and may need reproofing.
• Seams: taped or welded seams to maintain watertight performance at stitch lines.
• Zippers & closures: water-resistant or coated zippers and storm flaps to reduce water entry; zipper pulls are often reinforced for durability.
• Lining: lightweight taffeta, mesh, or no lining for a packable shell; may include a chin guard or inner storm flap at the zipper.
• Trim: elasticated cuffs, adjustable hem drawcords, and adjustable hood toggles are common for fit and weather protection.

Exact fabric composition and treatments can vary by batch — always check the sewn-in care/contents label or the product specification on the product page for precise fiber percentages and finish details.

Model & fit information

Fit details to help you choose a size:

• Overall fit: Designed as a weatherproof shell with a regular/athletic cut that allows room for a base layer or light mid layer. Not typically insulated — consider mid-layers for colder conditions.
• Sizing guidance: If you prefer a slim, close-to-body fit, select your usual size. For layering (thick sweaters or fleece), consider one size up.
• How to use model info: When model height, chest/waist measurements and the size shown are listed on the product page, compare those numbers to your body or to a jacket you already own measured the same way (see “How to measure”).

Example (for reference only): a model listed as 5'9" (175 cm) wearing size S gives an idea of length and sleeve coverage; use the product’s size chart and your measured jacket dimensions for the best fit.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Follow these steps to maintain waterproof performance and appearance:

1. Routine care
   Brush off loose dirt and mud. Close zippers, Velcro and fasten any straps before washing to prevent snags.
2. Washing
   Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold or warm water using a technical wash detergent (no fabric softeners, no bleach). Turn the jacket inside out if possible. Use a front-load washer or a gentle top-load to reduce agitation.
3. Drying & DWR maintenance
   Line dry or tumble dry on low if the care label allows — brief low-heat tumble drying can help reactivate some DWR finishes. If water no longer beads on the surface, reapply DWR with a spray-on or wash-in reproofing treatment following the product instructions.
4. Repairs & seam care
   Small tears or seam issues are best repaired promptly with gear tape or by a professional repair service. If taped seams come loose, professional resealing restores watertight performance.
5. Storage
   Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to protect coatings and DWR finishes.
6. Important don’ts
   Don’t use regular detergents, bleach, fabric softeners, or dry-cleaning solvents unless the care label explicitly permits them. Avoid ironing the waterproof shell unless the label allows and specifies a temperature.

For best results, always follow the sewn-in care label on the garment; the above are general recommendations for technical waterproof shells.

Style tips

Ways to wear your Ivy Lane watertight hooded jacket:

• Everyday commuter: Pair with slim chinos or dark jeans, a lightweight sweater, and water-resistant sneakers or Chelsea boots for a polished rainy-day look.
• Layered for warmth: Wear a thin merino or performance base layer, add a fleece or light puffer mid-layer, then the jacket as an outer shell — ideal for changeable weather.
• Active & outdoor: Combine with technical hiking pants, trail shoes, and a packable hat. The hood and taped seams make it great for windy, wet conditions.
• Casual weekend: Throw over a hoodie or sweatshirt, joggers or leggings, and slip-on trainers for a relaxed, sporty vibe.
• Color & accessorizing: Neutral jacket shades (black, navy, olive) are highly versatile; brighter or high-visibility colors add safety in poor light. Match with a waterproof backpack or tote for functional coordination.
• Packing: If packable, fold or roll into a daypack — great for travel and unpredictable forecasts.

Final tip: choose a size and layering strategy that suits your typical day (commute, hike or casual) to make the jacket both practical and stylish.
