VERY J Shaggy Yarn Knit Zip Up Jacket — Details, Care & Styling

How to measure this jacket

For accurate product measurements, lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and zip it up. Smooth out wrinkles and do not stretch the fabric while measuring. Record measurements in cm and inches; to convert: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

1. Chest (laid flat) — Measure straight across the front 1" (≈2.5 cm) below the armholes from side seam to side seam. Double that value to get the full chest/bust circumference.
2. Shoulder width — Measure from left shoulder seam to right shoulder seam across the back.
3. Sleeve length — For set-in sleeves: measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff along the outer edge. For raglan sleeves: measure from the center back of the neck (where collar meets back) across the shoulder to the cuff.
4. Back length — Measure from the center back at the base of the collar straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width (laid flat) — Measure across the bottom hem from side seam to side seam and double for circumference.
6. Collar/neck opening — Measure across the collar opening if needed (side-to-side) or its circumference if required.

Tip: measure each point twice and use the average; allow 1–2 cm tolerance for pile textures like shaggy yarn.

How to measure your body (to choose the best size)

• Bust/chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder width: Measure from the outer edge of one shoulder to the other across the back.
• Sleeve length: Measure from center back of neck across the shoulder to the wrist (or from shoulder bone to wrist).
• Torso length: Measure from the base of the neck (nape) down to where you want the jacket hem to sit.
• Compare your body measurements to the jacket measurements and allow ease: for a fitted look choose 0–2 cm positive ease, relaxed 4–8 cm, oversized 8+ cm.

Materials & construction (what to expect)

Exact fiber content for this item is printed on the product label and product page—always check the garment tag for the definitive composition. Shaggy yarn knit jackets are most commonly made from synthetic or blended yarns for a fluffy pile and easy-care finish. Typical components include:

• Shaggy/outer yarn: acrylic and/or polyester — soft, fuzzy, warm and quick-drying.
• Main knit body: acrylic/polyester blends or acrylic with a small percentage of nylon for strength and resilience.
• Ribbing & trims: polyester with a small amount of elastane/spandex for recovery at cuffs/hem.
• Lining (if present): polyester for a smooth inner surface.
• Hardware: metal or molded plastic zipper and polyester thread.

What that means: synthetic shaggy yarns keep the fluffy look with low shrinkage and fast drying, but they can pill or shed slightly at first and are sensitive to high heat.

Model information

Reference used in product photography (example): model height 175 cm (5'9") and wearing size S. Use the measurements above as your primary guide—photography can make fit look different depending on styling (zipped/unzipped, layered, or pulled up sleeves).

Fit note: shaggy knit jackets typically offer a relaxed, slightly boxy silhouette. If you prefer a streamlined look, choose the size closest to your chest measurement with minimal ease; for layering, allow a few extra centimeters.

Care guide — Keep it lovely longer

Always follow the care label first. Below are best practices for shaggy-yarn knit outerwear.

• Before washing: Close the zipper, turn the jacket inside out and, if machine washing, place in a mesh laundry bag to protect the pile and hardware.
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle (cold). Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Do not over-agitate.
• Spin & rinse: Use a very low spin setting or remove excess water by pressing the garment gently between towels—do not wring or twist.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry on a towel away from direct heat and sunlight. Avoid tumble drying — heat can melt or flatten synthetic pile.
• Ironing & steaming: Avoid ironing the shaggy surface. If needed, steam lightly from the inside or use a low‑heat iron protected by a pressing cloth on a non-shaggy area only.
• Pilling & loose fibers: Use a lint roller for surface fibers. For pills, use a fabric shaver or comb gently on low. Do not pull at loose strands; trim carefully if needed.
• Stain treatment: Spot-clean promptly with mild detergent and cold water. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging heavy knits for long periods (it can stretch shoulders); use padded hangers if hanging is necessary. Protect from moths with cedar or lavender sachets (avoid direct contact).
• Professional care: If the composition includes wool or if the garment is heavily soiled, consider professional dry cleaning.

Quick style tips

Shaggy knit zip-ups are versatile—use texture and proportion to create looks for different occasions.

• Casual everyday: Zip up over a tee or lightweight hoodie, pair with straight-leg jeans and clean sneakers.
• Cozy & chic: Layer over a slim ribbed turtleneck and high-waisted leggings or skinny jeans; finish with ankle boots and a beanie.
• Office casual: Wear unzipped over a button-up or thin knit top with tapered trousers and loafers for a smart-casual vibe.
• Street style / oversized: Pair with cargo pants or wide-leg trousers and chunky trainers; add a crossbody bag and beanie.
• Evening upgrade: Zip partially and add a statement necklace, leather skirt or tailored trousers and heeled boots.
• Proportions: Because the jacket adds bulk, balance it with slimmer bottoms for a flattering silhouette, or layer it over monochrome outfits to keep the look streamlined.
• Accessories: Minimal jewelry, structured bags, and scarves in complementary textures keep the outfit refined without competing with the shaggy texture.
