Plaid Collared Neck Button Down Coat — How to measure

To choose the right size and compare with this coat, measure either the coat laid flat or your body. Use a flexible cloth tape measure and record measurements in both cm and inches when possible.

Measuring the coat (lay flat)

1. Shoulder width — Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.
2. Chest / Bust — With the coat buttoned, measure across from one armpit seam to the other. Double that number to get the full chest circumference.
3. Waist — Measure across the narrowest part of the coat body; double for circumference.
4. Hip / Hem — Measure across the bottom hem of the coat; double for circumference.
5. Sleeve length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan or set-in sleeves, measure along the outer seam for consistency.
6. Back length — Measure from the base of the collar (center back where collar meets body) straight down to the hem.
7. Collar height — Measure from the base seam up to the top edge of the collar if you need collar height info.

Tips: lay the coat on a flat, hard surface and smooth out wrinkles. Keep the tape straight and parallel to seams. Round to the nearest 0.5 cm (or 1/4"). If taking body measurements, measure over thin clothing and keep the tape snug but not tight.

Measuring your body (to compare to garment)

• Chest / Bust — Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms and across the shoulder blades.
• Waist — Measure around the natural waistline (narrowest point).
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of the hips/seat.
• Sleeve — With arm relaxed at your side, measure from the center back of the neck across the shoulder to the wrist, or from shoulder tip to wrist for simpler comparison.

Materials

Typical construction for a plaid collared button-down coat:

• Outer fabric — often a wool blend for warmth and structure (for example, 50–70% wool blended with polyester, acrylic or viscose) or a fully synthetic woven (100% polyester) for easy care and durability.
• Lining — commonly 100% polyester or a polyester blend for smooth layering.
• Trim & hardware — buttons are usually resin or corozo; some models may use metal snaps or decorative stitching.
• Interfacing/fill — seams or collar may include polyester interfacing for shape; insulated styles use polyester fill.

Material characteristics at a glance:

• Wool blend: warm, breathable, natural texture; typically requires gentler care (often dry clean).
• Polyester / synthetic blends: durable, wrinkle- and water-resistant; typically easier to machine-wash.
• Lining: smooth for easy layering and comfortable wear over knitwear.

Note: exact fiber percentages and trims vary by batch. Always check the product tag or product details for the precise composition of your specific item.

Care guide — Keep it lovely longer

• Always check the care label first.
• Dry clean when recommended: wool and many blended coats are best cleaned professionally to maintain shape and fabric finish.
• Hand wash / machine wash (only if label permits): cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent. Fasten buttons and turn coat inside out; use a mesh bag for extra protection.
• Drying: reshape while damp and lay flat or hang on a wide, padded hanger to air dry. Avoid high heat and tumble drying which can shrink or distort fibers.
• Ironing & steaming: use a low heat iron on the reverse, or steam to remove wrinkles. Use a pressing cloth for wool blends.
• Spot cleaning: blot spills immediately with a clean cloth. For oil or stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner.
• Pilling & lint: remove pills with a fabric shaver or depiller; use a lint roller to keep the plaid crisp.
• Storage: store on a wide hanger in a breathable garment bag; avoid plastic bags. Use cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths.

Style tips

• Casual weekend: wear open over a tee or thin knit, pair with straight-leg jeans and ankle boots for an easy layered look.
• Work-ready: button up over a lightweight turtleneck or blouse, pair with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and loafers or heels.
• Chic & belted: add a slim leather belt at the waist to create definition — great over a midi dress or high-waisted skirt.
• Play with color: pick one color from the plaid pattern and echo it in your scarf, bag or shoes for a cohesive outfit.
• Texture balance: because plaid is visually active, pair the coat with solid, textured basics (knitted sweaters, suede boots) to keep the outfit grounded.
• Seasonal layering: in colder weather, wear a thin insulating layer (light down vest or merino base) under the coat rather than very bulky sweaters to preserve silhouette.
