Mock Neck Zip Up Jacket | Black / S 100100719180148

Overview

A clean, modern mock-neck jacket designed to be an everyday layering piece — from casual weekends to travel and commute days. The streamlined silhouette and zip-front make it easy to style over tees or thin sweaters, while a small amount of stretch gives comfortable mobility without losing shape. Lightweight but structured enough to provide mild warmth, this jacket transitions across seasons and outfits with minimal fuss.

Why you’ll want one

It’s an easy grab-and-go item: low-maintenance, resilient to repeated wear, and flattering on many silhouettes. Whether you prefer an athletic, polished, or relaxed look, this jacket pairs clean lines with practical performance.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

Pros

• Durable and colorfast — holds shape and finish through regular wear and wash cycles.
• Stretch and recovery — a small stretch component lets the jacket move with you and return to its original fit.
• Wrinkle-resistant and quick-drying — travel-friendly and easy to care for at home.
• Lightweight insulation — provides comfortable warmth without bulk, ideal for layering.
• Low-maintenance — resists shrinking and requires minimal ironing.

Cons

• Less breathable than natural fibers — may trap heat during high-exertion activities in warm weather.
• Potential for pilling over time — especially where the fabric rubs frequently (shoulders, under arms).
• Can retain odors more than cotton — needs periodic airing or targeted odor-care to stay fresh.
• Environmental considerations — synthetic fibers shed microfibers and are not typically biodegradable unless recycled materials are used.

About the materials

The jacket is made from a synthetic knit blend that combines a polyester-based fiber with a small percentage of an elastane-type stretch fiber (commonly marketed as spandex or Lycra). Key characteristics of these fibers:

Polyester (commonly PET)

• Made from a type of polymer called polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
• Excellent tensile strength, color retention, and resistance to shrinking and wrinkling.
• Dries quickly and performs well for travel and everyday wear.
• Can be produced from recycled sources (recycled PET) — look for recycle claims if sustainability matters to you.

Elastane / Spandex

• A highly elastic synthetic fiber that provides stretch and recovery.
• Used in small amounts to add mobility and improve fit without making the piece baggy.
• Sensitive to heat and strong chemicals (avoid high-heat drying and harsh bleaches to preserve elasticity).

Construction notes

These blends are typically knit (jersey, interlock, or brushed knits like French terry or microfleece) for a soft hand and comfortable fit. The exact surface finish (smooth face, brushed interior or microfleece lining) will affect warmth and feel — check product images for texture cues.

How to measure the garment (what we measure on the jacket)

If you want to compare your measurements to the jacket’s listed dimensions, take the following flat-lay measurements on a similar garment that fits you well or directly on the jacket if you have it:

• Chest / Bust (Flat): Lay the jacket flat, measure straight across from one underarm seam to the other. Double that measurement to get the full circumference.
• Shoulder width: Measure from seam to seam across the top of the back (the points where sleeves attach).
• Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam down to the end of the cuff while the sleeve is laid flat.
• Back length (center back): From the base of the collar (highest point on the back) down to the hem.

Tip: Always measure on a hard, flat surface, keep the tape straight, and avoid stretching the fabric while measuring.

How to measure yourself (to pick the best size)

Measure your body using a soft tape measure while wearing thin undergarments for the most accurate results.

• Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest/bust, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Breathe normally — don’t hold your breath.
• Shoulder width: From the outer edge (bone) of one shoulder to the other across the back.
• Arm length: From the top of your shoulder (where the arm meets the shoulder) down to your wrist with a slight bend in the elbow to allow movement.
• Torso length: Measure from the base of the neck (where the collar meets the neck) down to where you want the hem to sit.

How to use these numbers: compare your body measurements to the brand’s garment measurements and account for ease — about 1–3 inches of positive ease for a fitted feel, 3–6 inches for layering or a relaxed fit. If your measurements fall between sizes, choose based on how you prefer to layer: size up for roomy layers, size down for a neater silhouette.

Information about model references (how to interpret them)

Product pages often include a model height and the size they are wearing. Use this as a visual guide:

• If the model is tall and wearing a smaller size, the jacket will look longer on you if you’re shorter; expect sleeve and overall length differences.
• If no model details are provided, compare the garment measurements (flat-lay) to a jacket you already own that fits the way you want.
• When in doubt, contact customer service with your measurements and preferred fit (snug vs relaxed) for personalized sizing advice.

Color & outfit pairing ideas

The jacket’s simple profile makes it easy to pair. Here are styling suggestions organized by palette:

Neutral shades (black, navy, gray, cream)

• Casual: white tee, straight-leg jeans, minimalist sneakers.
• Smart-casual: thin knit turtleneck, tapered trousers, leather loafers or ankle boots.
• Travel: monochrome base layer for an elevated, fuss-free look — add a crossbody bag and slip-on sneakers.

Earth tones (olive, tan, rust)

• Layer over fitted knitwear and pair with dark denim or chinos for an outdoorsy yet refined vibe.
• Add leather or suede boots and a wool scarf for texture contrast in cooler months.

Bright or pastel shades

• Use the jacket as the focal point — keep the rest of the outfit neutral (white, denim, black) so the color pops.
• Balance with metallic accessories or subtle prints for a modern look.

Style & occasions

This mock-neck zip jacket fits several style categories:

• Athleisure: Comfortable enough for light workouts, warm-ups, and casual gym runs.
• Weekend casual: Layer over tees and hoodies for versatile weekend wear.
• Smart-casual: Wear zipped partway over a blouse or thin knit and pair with tailored bottoms for a polished, minimalist look.

Seasonal suitability

The jacket is ideal as a transitional layer:

• Spring & Fall: Perfect as an outer layer on cool mornings and evenings.
• Mild Winter: Works as a mid-layer beneath a heavier coat for extra warmth.
• Summer evenings: Useful when temperatures dip or near coastal breezes.

Fit notes

• Designed to offer a shaped, close-to-body silhouette with a little stretch — it will sit closer than oversized outerwear but still allow comfortable movement.
• If you plan to layer chunky sweaters underneath, consider sizing up to maintain range of motion and avoid tightness at the shoulders and chest.
• Those with broader shoulders may prefer the next size up for unrestrictive sleeve movement.

Care tips

Follow these practices to maintain appearance and fabric performance:

• Zip up before washing to protect the zipper and reduce snagging.
• Wash inside out with like colors on a gentle cycle and use a mild detergent formulated for synthetics.
• Avoid fabric softeners — they can reduce moisture-wicking performance and affect stretch recovery.
• Air drying is gentlest; if using a dryer, use low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling.
• Store folded or on a hanger away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.

Care guide — keeping it lovely longer

1. Pre-treat stains with a gentle stain remover or mild soap; let sit briefly before washing.
2. Close zippers and fasten any hardware to prevent snags; place in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
3. Use cool or lukewarm water and avoid high spin speeds that can stress seams and elastics.
4. For pilling, gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or sweater comb — avoid cutting or aggressive pulling.
5. To reduce microfiber shedding, wash full loads and consider a microfiber-catching device or bag in the cycle.
6. Refresh between washes by airing the jacket or using a handheld steamer on low to remove wrinkles and odors.

Style tips — looks to try

• Street-clean: Zip halfway over a plain tee, pair with high-waist jeans and chunky sneakers; add a beanie for a relaxed finish.
• Travel-ready: Layer over a breathable base layer, pair with stretch travel pants and comfortable slip-on shoes — the jacket packs well without wrinkling.
• Office-casual: Wear zipped over a fitted blouse and tuck into a slim trouser; finish with loafers or low heels.
• Evening out: Pair with dark slim jeans, low-profile boots, and a slim scarf or delicate necklace for a refined look.
