Pocketed Snap Down Baseball Collar Jacket

How to measure

Use a soft tape measure. For the most consistent results measure the jacket laid flat (preferred for product listings) and measure the body on yourself if you want fit guidance.

Measuring the jacket (laid flat)

1. Chest (pit to pit): Close snaps. Measure straight across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armholes from seam to seam, then multiply by 2 for full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back.
3. Sleeve length (shoulder seam method): From the top of the shoulder seam down the outside of the sleeve to the cuff.
4. Sleeve length (center back method): From the center back of the neck (base of the collar) across the shoulder to the cuff — common for outerwear listings.
5. Front length (HPS): From the high point of shoulder (HPS) at the base of the neck straight down the front center to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure across the bottom hem flat and multiply by 2 for circumference.
7. Pocket opening / depth: Measure the opening width and the interior depth if you want to show pocket capacity.

Measuring on the body

• Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Sleeve: From the center back of the neck, across the shoulder, down to the wrist bone with the arm relaxed.
• When in doubt, compare the chest measurement to a jacket you already own and like the fit of.

Quick conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Example: a flat chest of 20 in = 40 in circumference = 101.6 cm.

Materials & construction

Baseball-collar snap jackets are made in a few common combinations. Check the garment label for exact composition; below are typical materials and characteristics.

Shell

Often 100% polyester or 100% nylon (lightweight, wind-resistant, quick-dry). Cotton twill is also used for a more natural, broken-in look.

Lining

Polyester taffeta or mesh for smooth layering and breathability. Insulated versions use polyester fill.

Trim

Ribbed collar/cuffs/hem are commonly cotton blends with elastane (e.g., 95% cotton / 5% elastane) or polyester blends for stretch and recovery.

Hardware

Snap front closures and rivets are usually metal (nickel-plated or coated). Zippers and snap quality affect longevity.

Finish

Some shells have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish or a light PU coating for extra weather resistance.

Tip: if the product description does not list materials, look at the care label inside the jacket or request a materials sheet from the supplier.

Model & fit

Fit overview: classic baseball collar jackets typically have a regular, slightly boxy fit and sit at the hip. They are designed for light layering — if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider sizing up.

• Example model reference: Model is 6'1" (185 cm) with a 39" (99 cm) chest and is wearing size M. (Use this as a guide — always compare the product chest measurement with your favorite jacket.)
• Sizing tip: For a fitted look choose your usual size; for relaxed or hoodie layering choose one size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Always follow the garment care label first. The guidance below covers common shell/lining combinations for this jacket style.

• Before washing: Close all snaps, remove any detachable parts, and turn the jacket inside out to protect the shell and hardware.
• Machine wash: Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners (softeners can clog DWR finishes).
• Hand wash / spot clean: For small stains, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For delicate trims (leather or suede), use appropriate cleaners or a professional.
• Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on low if the label allows. High heat can damage synthetic shells and trims. Reshape while damp.
• Ironing: If needed, iron on low with a cloth between iron and fabric; avoid hardware areas.
• Reproofing: If the jacket has a DWR finish and water no longer beads, restore repellency with a wash-in or spray-on reproof product following manufacturer instructions.
• Storage: Hang on a wide, supportive hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing in plastic bags — use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage.
• Hardware care: Dry snaps/metal parts promptly to prevent corrosion; treat any stubborn rust or stains professionally.

Style tips

Versatile and easy to wear, the pocketed snap-down baseball collar jacket works for many looks:

• Casual weekend: White tee, slim dark denim, and low-top sneakers — clean and timeless.
• Smart-casual: Lightweight button-down or fine-gauge knit, chinos, and desert boots or leather sneakers.
• Athleisure / street: Layer a hoodie under the jacket, pair with joggers or tapered cargos and high-top sneakers.
• Color pairings: Navy works with khaki, grey and denim; black is effortless with monochrome or bold accents; olive pairs well with black, tan and earth tones.
• Accessories: Keep it simple — a cap, slim scarf, or a classic watch complements the sporty silhouette.
• Fit styling: For a modern look wear slightly cropped jackets with slim trousers; for a relaxed vibe size up and layer over thicker pieces.
