Plaid Button Up Dropped Shoulder Jacket — How to measure

To list accurate measurements or to choose the best size, measure both the garment (laid flat) and your body. Follow the steps below for consistent results.

Measuring the jacket (garment measured flat)

1. Prepare: Button the jacket, lay it face-up on a hard flat surface and smooth out wrinkles—do not stretch.
2. Chest / Pit-to-pit: Measure straight across from the inside of one armpit seam to the other. Double this value to get full chest circumference.
3. Back / Shoulder (seam-to-seam): Measure across the back from one shoulder seam to the other. On dropped-shoulder styles, measure seam-to-seam across the widest point where the sleeve meets the body.
4. Sleeve length:
   • Standard method (recommended for jackets): Measure from the center back of the neck (CB) to the end of the cuff.
   • Alternative: Measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff—use the same method as the size chart you are comparing to.
5. Body length (HPS): Measure from the highest point of the shoulder at the neckline (HPS) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem with the jacket laid flat; double for circumference.
7. Cuff opening: Measure across the cuff edge while flat.

Measuring your body (to pick the right size)

1. Bust / Chest: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your chest or bust. Keep the tape level and relaxed.
2. Waist: Measure at the natural waistline (the narrowest point).
3. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips/seat.
4. Sleeve length: With your arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of the neck (CB) to the wrist bone.
5. Shoulder width: Measure across the back from the point of one shoulder to the point of the other.

How to use these numbers

• Compare body measurements to the garment measurements. For a relaxed/dropped-shoulder jacket, allow approximately 6–12 cm (2.5–5 in) of ease at the chest for a comfortable casual fit; 12 cm (5 in) or more for an oversized look.
• If you plan to layer bulky sweaters underneath, choose a size with an extra 3–6 cm (1–2.5 in) beyond your preferred ease.
• When in doubt, prioritize pit-to-pit (chest) and sleeve length for final sizing decisions.

Materials

The jacket's exact fabric and trims may vary by production—always check the garment label for precise fiber percentages. Typical materials for a plaid button-up dropped-shoulder jacket include:

• Outer fabric
  • Cotton flannel (100% cotton or cotton-rich blends): soft, breathable, brushed for a cozy hand.
  • Wool or wool-blend (wool + acrylic/polyester): warmer and more structured; often used for premium versions.
  • Polyester/viscose blends: durable, colorfast, and less prone to wrinkling—good for vivid plaids.
• Lining
  • Polyester or acetate lining for smooth layering and easy on/off.
• Trims
  • Buttons: plastic, corozo, or metal depending on the style. Stitching usually polyester for strength.

Fabric characteristics at a glance:

• Warmth: wool-blends and brushed flannels give the most warmth.
• Breathability: cotton and wool breathe well; polyester is less breathable but more durable.
• Care: cotton and polyester blends are generally machine-washable; higher-wool content garments often recommend dry-cleaning.
• Appearance: brushed flannel has a soft nap; wool-blends hold structure and drape differently from cotton.

Model information

Reference model details (for fit guidance):

• Model height: 177 cm / 5'10"
• Model measurements: Bust 81 cm / 32", Waist 61 cm / 24", Hips 89 cm / 35"
• Wearing size: S (styled for a relaxed/oversized look)

Fit note: The dropped shoulder gives extra room in the upper arm and shoulder area. If you prefer a more fitted silhouette across the shoulders, consider ordering one size down; if you plan to layer bulky knitwear underneath, size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the sewn-in care label. Use the guidance below as a general care routine for plaid button-up jackets depending on fabric type.

• Read the label: If the label says "Dry clean only," follow that instruction—especially for high-wool-content fabrics.
• Before washing: Button up the jacket and turn it inside out to protect the outer surface and pattern.
• Machine wash (for cotton or polyester blends): cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent, wash with like colors.
• Hand wash (for delicate blends): cool water with a gentle detergent; avoid heavy rubbing or wringing.
• Drying: Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry or hang on a sturdy hanger. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinkage or distortion.
• Ironing & steaming: Iron inside-out on low to medium heat; use a pressing cloth for delicate surfaces. A steamer is effective for removing wrinkles without flattening textured plaids.
• Spot cleaning: Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, test a gentle stain remover on an inconspicuous area first or take to a professional cleaner.
• Pilling & lint: Use a fabric shaver on a low setting to remove pills. Use a lint roller for surface fuzz and hair.
• Storage: Hang on wide-shoulder hangers to preserve shape or fold carefully. Store in breathable garment bags; avoid long-term storage in plastic.

Quick maintenance tips:

• Air the jacket between wears to reduce the need for frequent washing.
• Wash similar colors together to prevent dye transfer within the plaid.
• For wool blends, consider professional cleaning once or twice per season depending on wear.

Style tips

Pairing ideas and ways to style the Plaid Button Up Dropped Shoulder Jacket:

• Casual everyday: Throw over a white tee or lightweight knit, cuff the sleeves, and wear with slim jeans and sneakers for a go-to weekend outfit.
• Layered streetwear: Wear over a hoodie and add chunky boots for an on-trend layered look.
• Smart-casual: Button up over a thin turtleneck, add tailored trousers and loafers or ankle boots for a refined but relaxed office outfit.
• Feminine balance: Cinch with a belt at the waist and pair with a midi skirt and heeled boots to contrast the boxy top with a softer bottom.
• Color coordination: Keep base layers neutral (black, white, denim, camel) or pick one accent color from the plaid to echo in accessories.
• Proportions: Because the jacket reads relaxed at the top, pair with slimmer bottoms (skinny jeans, tapered trousers) or match with relaxed-fit trousers for an oversized set.
• Accessories: Add scarves, beanies, or layered necklaces depending on season and vibe; choose footwear to match the occasion—sneakers for casual, boots or loafers for dressier looks.

Seasonal note: Ideal as a midweight layer for spring and fall. In colder months use as a mid-layer beneath a heavier coat for added insulation.
