VERY J Shaggy Yarn Knit Zip Up Jacket

How to measure

There are two useful measurement methods: measuring the jacket flat (recommended for an exact listing) and measuring your body (to pick the right size). Always record both centimetres and inches if possible.

Garment measurement (recommended for product listing)

1. Preparation: Zip the jacket closed and lay it flat on a smooth surface. Smooth out wrinkles but do not stretch the fabric.
2. Chest / Bust (flat): Measure straight across the front 1 cm (≈½ in) below the armholes from seam to seam. Double that number to get the circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. For raglan or seam-free shoulders, measure from the highest point of one sleeve seam to the other across the back.
4. Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan styles or if you prefer a body reference, measure from the center-back neck point to the cuff.
5. Center back length: Measure from the base of the collar (center back) straight down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and double for circumference.
7. Cuff opening: Measure across the cuff edge and double for circumference.
8. Notes: If the jacket has a hood, include hood height and width. If there are pockets, list their position and depth.

Body measurement (to choose size)

• Bust/Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape level.
• Shoulder: Measure across the top of the back from one shoulder bone to the other.
• Sleeve: From center back neck to wrist (for overall sleeve fit) or from shoulder point to wrist.
• Torso length: From high point of shoulder down to where you want the jacket hem to sit.
• Fit guidance: Allow extra ease for layering — typical ease recommendations:
  • Fitted: 0–2 cm (0–1 in)
  • Comfort/relaxed: 4–10 cm (1.5–4 in)
  • Oversized: 10–20 cm (4–8 in)

Materials

“Shaggy yarn” refers to a textured, fuzzy surface created by brushed, loop-cut or high-pile yarns. Exact fiber content varies by production batch—always check the garment label for the authoritative fiber breakdown. Common fibers and how they behave in shaggy knits:

Acrylic

Soft, warm, lightweight and low-cost. Holds color well and is generally easy-care; may be prone to static and some pilling.

Polyester

Durable, quick-drying and helps the pile retain loft and shape. Often blended with acrylic for durability.

Wool (or wool blends)

Very warm and breathable. May require gentler care (hand wash or dry clean) and can felt or shrink if treated harshly.

Cotton

Breathable and comfortable, but heavier when wet and less insulating than wool. Usually used in blends to soften texture.

Viscose / Rayon

Soft and drapey; adds luxury feel but can weaken when wet—handle gently.

Nylon / Polyamide

Adds strength and abrasion resistance to the yarn blend.

Elastane / Spandex

Small percentages (1–5%) provide recovery and stretch for comfort.

Typical sample blends you may encounter (examples only): 100% acrylic; 70% acrylic / 30% polyester; 50% wool / 50% acrylic; 95% polyester / 5% spandex. Always list the exact percentages from the label if available.

Model information (what to show)

For a clear buying reference, include:

• Model height (e.g. 175 cm / 5'9")
• Model measurements (bust / waist / hips)
• Size the model is wearing (e.g. S / M)
• Fit note (e.g. "Fits true to size", "Designed to be slightly oversized")

Example (replace with actual): Model is 175 cm / 5'9" (bust 84 cm / 33") wearing size S. The jacket shown has a relaxed fit and falls to mid-hip.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow the garment care label first. General best practices for shaggy yarn knits:

• Wash: Hand wash in cold water or use a gentle machine cycle inside out or in a mesh bag. Use a mild detergent formulated for delicates or wool if the blend requires it.
• Avoid harsh products: Do not use bleach. Avoid heavy fabric softeners—these can flatten the pile and reduce loft.
• Dry: Gently reshape and lay flat to dry on a towel away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not wring. Avoid tumble drying—heat can matt or shrink the pile.
• Ironing/steaming: Avoid direct ironing on the shaggy surface. If needed, steam lightly from the inside or use a cool iron with a pressing cloth on the reverse side.
• Pilling: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or de-pilling comb. Work slowly and carefully to avoid cutting yarns.
• Storage: Fold and store in a breathable container. Avoid hanging for long periods (especially heavy knits) as this can stretch shoulders. Use cedar or lavender to deter moths for wool blends.
• Spot care: Blot spills immediately with a clean cloth and cold water; for oil-based stains consult a specialist or follow specific stain-treatment guidance.
• Professional care: For wool-rich items or if you’re unsure, consider professional dry cleaning.

Style tips

Shaggy knit jackets add texture and warmth—balance proportions and keep the rest of the outfit clean-lined for the best effect.

• Casual everyday: Zip up over a slim tee or fitted turtleneck and pair with straight-leg jeans and white sneakers.
• Layered look: Wear open over a lightweight hoodie or shirt for added dimension—tuck front into high-waisted trousers for a polished touch.
• Dress it up: Pair with a silk slip dress or a satin skirt and ankle boots. Add minimal jewelry so the jacket remains the focal point.
• Balance textures: Combine the shaggy surface with smooth fabrics (denim, leather, satin) so the look stays intentional rather than busy.
• Define the waist: If you prefer a more structured silhouette, zip the jacket and add a slim belt over it.
• Color pairing: Neutrals (black, cream, gray, camel) are versatile; a bright or pastel shaggy piece can be an easy statement item—pair with muted bottoms.
• Travel-friendly: The soft, cozy texture makes it a great lightweight outer layer for flights—bring in a packing cube to avoid compressing the pile.

Tip for the product page: include the exact fiber label, all flat garment measurements (cm and in), the model’s real measurements and size, plus an easy care summary so customers can confidently choose and care for this jacket.
