Shiny Plaid Collared Longline Coat | Deep Red / S 100100061829440

Overview

A refined longline coat in a luminous plaid—this piece blends classic checks with a subtle sheen for a modern, polished finish. The shirt-style collar and clean vertical lines create a flattering silhouette that works equally well over workwear or weekend layers. Thoughtful details—functional side pockets and a streamlined cut—make it both practical and fashion-forward. Add this coat to your wardrobe as a statement outer layer that elevates neutrals, anchors bold prints and keeps your look put-together throughout the season.

Fabric Advantages — Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable and abrasion-resistant — stands up to frequent wear and retains shape.
• Colorfast and holds printed patterns and sheen—plaid stays sharp after many washes.
• Low-maintenance: quick-drying and generally wrinkle-resistant for easy care.
• Lightweight warmth—good for layering without bulk.
• Affordable performance compared to natural-wool alternatives.

Cons

• Less breathable than natural fibers; can feel warm in confined or humid settings.
• Prone to static and occasional pilling on high-friction areas.
• Shiny finishes can show surface marks or flatten nap if crushed.
• Environmental considerations: conventional polyester is petroleum-based and can shed microfibers when washed.

Material Details

The coat’s face cloth is a synthetic polyester fabric—a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber commonly used for outerwear because it dyes well, resists wrinkles and maintains structure. The gleam in the finish is typically achieved through yarn selection (filament fibers) and finishing techniques such as calendaring or a light resin/finish that increases reflectivity. Polyester holds printed plaids vividly and recovers quickly after folding, but it does not breathe as readily as natural wool or cotton.

Sustainability note: recycled polyester (rPET) is an increasingly popular option that reduces reliance on virgin petroleum feedstocks. If eco-credentials are important to you, look for items labeled with recycled content or certifications that confirm responsible sourcing.

How to Measure — Garment & Body

Measuring a jacket you already own (to compare)

• Lay the coat flat on a smooth surface with buttons/zips fastened and smoothing out wrinkles.
• Chest (pit-to-pit): measure straight across the front from one underarm seam to the other; double this number for circumference.
• Shoulder width: measure across the back from the outer edge of one shoulder seam to the other.
• Sleeve length: with the sleeve laid flat, measure from the shoulder seam to the cuff edge.
• Body length: measure from the highest point of the shoulder (where a collar meets the shoulder seam, often called HPS) straight down to the hem.

Measuring your body for fit

• Bust/Chest: wrap a soft tape around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight.
• Shoulder breadth: measure across your back between the outer tips of your shoulders.
• Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder tip (where the shoulder meets arm) down to the wrist with a slightly bent elbow.
• Torso length: for how the coat will fall, measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you want the hem to sit.

Choosing size: compare body measurements to a garment you like. For outerwear, plan extra ease for layering—add roughly the thickness of the garments you’ll usually wear underneath (light layers = small ease; chunky knits = larger ease). Shoulder fit should be your primary concern—if the shoulders sit comfortably, other adjustments are easier.

Fit Notes & Sizing Tips

• Longline silhouettes visually lengthen the torso; shorter shoppers can balance the look with ankle boots or cropped trousers.
• If you plan to wear bulky sweaters beneath the coat, consider sizing up one size for comfortable layering—especially through the bust and upper arms.
• If you prefer a sleeker, tailored look, select the size that matches your chest measurement with minimal ease.
• Shoulder seam placement determines how “true to size” a coat feels—check shoulder measurements first, then chest and sleeve length.

Model Information

Specific model height and sample size are not included here; on most e-commerce images, models are used to show proportions and styling rather than to indicate exact fit for every body. If imagery provides a caption, use that as a reference. To recreate a pictured look, match your measured coat length (HPS to hem) to how the item appears on the model—this gives the best sense of where the hem will fall on your body.

Color & How to Combine

Plaid is naturally versatile—let the pattern guide the palette. Pull one accent color from the checks and use it for accessories (scarves, hats, or bags) while keeping the base layers neutral (black, navy, gray, cream or camel). For a modern, elevated look pair the coat with:

• Streamlined trousers and loafers for office polish.
• Dark denim, a fitted sweater and ankle boots for casual weekend wear.
• A monochrome base layer and heeled boots for evening outings—let the plaid be the focal point.

For contrast, add a leather or faux-leather accessory (belt or crossbody) to break the pattern and introduce texture.

Style & Occasions

This coat bridges timeless tailoring and contemporary polish. With its collared neckline and longline cut it suits transitional work wardrobes, city weekends and smart-casual events. Wear open for relaxed layering or cinched with a belt for a refined statement. The pockets add everyday practicality without sacrificing a streamlined silhouette.

Season Suitability

Ideal for fall and spring as a top layer; can serve for mild winter conditions when paired with insulating mid-layers. Because the fabric is lightweight and dries quickly, it’s comfortable in cool, damp weather but is not a substitute for heavy winter coats in freezing climates.

Care Tips & Quick Fit Notes

• Always check the garment label on arrival for manufacturer care specifics—follow the gentlest acceptable option if you want to preserve sheen and color.
• Wash with like colors; turn the coat inside out to protect the finish and reduce abrasion.
• Do not overload the washer—give the coat room to move so it rinses and spins cleanly.
• Air-dry or use a low-heat dryer cycle; reshape while damp to maintain clean lines.
• For a slimmer fit over heavy layers, consider one size up; for a polished, sleek fit, choose your usual size and pair with thinner layers.

Care Guide — Keep It Lovely Longer

1. Treat stains promptly: blot liquids, use a gentle detergent or a small amount of dish soap for oily spots, and rinse; avoid vigorous rubbing that can flatten the finish.
2. Machine launder on a cold, gentle cycle if allowed by the label; use mild detergent and a mesh bag if you have one to reduce surface friction.
3. Remove promptly from wash to prevent set-in wrinkles. Either hang to finish drying or use a low-heat tumble setting; avoid high heat that can soften or deform synthetic fibers.
4. De-wrinkle with a garment steamer or the steam setting on an iron, holding the tool slightly off the fabric. If ironing is required, use a low/“synthetic” setting and a pressing cloth between iron and fabric.
5. Store on a wide, supportive hanger to protect the shoulder line. Give each item space to breathe—cramped closets can crush the sheen and cause creases.
6. Use a lint roller after wear to remove surface dust and fibers; a fabric shaver on low will tackle pills carefully, avoiding glossy areas.

Style Tips

• Office: buttoned or belted over a tailored blouse and tapered trousers; add pointed-toe flats or pumps.
• Casual: layer over a lightweight hoodie, straight-leg jeans and sneakers for a city-ready, relaxed vibe.
• Evening: drape over a slim dress and ankle boots; add a clutch in one of the plaid’s accent tones.
• Play with proportion: pair the longline coat with cropped pants to balance lengths or with midi skirts for a contemporary layered look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know what size to pick?

A: Measure a coat you already own (pit-to-pit, shoulder width and HPS-to-hem) and compare those numbers to the retailer’s size chart. Prioritize shoulder measurement and intended layering thickness when choosing size.

Q: Is the coat warm enough for winter?

A: It’s best as a transitional or layered piece. For very cold climates, use it with insulated layers or choose a heavier winter coat for sub-zero temperatures.

Q: Can I machine wash this coat?

A: Most polyester-based coats tolerate careful machine washing on a gentle/cold setting; turning the garment inside out and using a low-heat dry or air dry will preserve the finish. When in doubt, follow the care label or opt for professional cleaning.

Q: Will the shiny finish wear off?

A: With routine gentle care the finish should remain attractive. Avoid abrasive surfaces, excessive heat and harsh chemicals that can dull the sheen.

Q: Are the pockets functional?

A: Yes—use them for everyday essentials, but avoid overloading which can distort the silhouette.

Q: Does the plaid pattern match at seams?

A: Pattern matching varies by garment and size. Higher-end tailored pieces often match plaids at center seams; casual items may have slight shifts. If perfect alignment is important, inspect product imagery or ask customer service before purchase.
