VERY J Shaggy Yarn Knit Zip Up Jacket | Cream / S 100100589121336

How to measure

Use these steps to measure the jacket or your body so you can choose the best size. For the most accurate fit, measure a similar jacket you already own and compare.

Measure the garment (recommended)

1. Lay the jacket flat on a hard surface and zip it up. Smooth out wrinkles and folds without stretching the fabric.
2. Chest / Bust (flat): Measure straight across from one armpit seam to the other about 1–2 cm below the armholes. Multiply this number by 2 to get full circumference.
3. Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other. If there is no defined shoulder seam (raglan), measure across the widest point where the sleeve meets the collar.
4. Sleeve length: For set-in sleeves, measure from the shoulder seam to the sleeve end (cuff). For raglan sleeves, measure from center back at the base of the neck to the cuff.
5. Back length: Measure from the center back at the base of the collar (nape) down to the hem.
6. Hem width: Measure straight across the bottom hem and multiply by 2 for full circumference.
7. Bicep (upper sleeve): Measure across the sleeve about 4–5 cm (1.5–2 in) below the armhole seam; multiply by 2 for circumference.

Measure your body

1. Chest/bust: Measure the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor and arms relaxed.
2. Shoulder: Measure from shoulder bone to shoulder bone across the back.
3. Sleeve: With elbow slightly bent, measure from shoulder point to wrist.
4. Back length: Measure from the base of your neck (center back) to where you want the jacket to sit.

Tip: Allow 5–10 cm (2–4 in) of ease for a regular fit and 10–20 cm (4–8 in) for a relaxed/oversized look or layered styling. Always compare garment measurements to a jacket you already own for best results.

Materials & details

The shaggy yarn knit gives this jacket its soft, fluffy texture and visual depth. Exact composition varies by style—always check the sewn-in label or product specification for the definitive fiber content. Typical materials and details for this style include:

• Common fibers: acrylic and polyester are frequently used for the shaggy, brushed effect; nylon may be blended in for strength; premium versions may include natural fibers (wool, mohair, alpaca) for extra warmth and loft.
• Feel & performance: plush, textured surface with medium-to-high insulation. Synthetics are durable and easier to care for; natural fibers add warmth but may need gentler handling.
• Construction: full-length zip front, ribbed cuffs and hem to preserve shape, patch or inset pockets, and often an unlined or lightly lined interior depending on the style.
• Hardware: zipper may be metal or molded plastic—check the product spec for brand and details.
• Sustainability: some pieces use recycled yarns or certified fibers—see the product page for certifications or eco-claims.

How to confirm exact content: inspect the interior fabric label, review the product's specification section online, or contact customer service with the style/SKU.

Model & fit

To help customers understand how this jacket fits, product pages typically include model details. We recommend showing:

• Model height (e.g., 175 cm / 5'9")
• Model measurements (bust, waist, hips)
• Size shown (e.g., wearing size S)

Fit guidance: the shaggy knit zip-up usually reads as relaxed and slightly boxy—ideal for layering. If you prefer a fitted silhouette, choose your usual size; size up one for more room to layer a sweater or hoodie underneath.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Follow these general care tips to maintain the fluffy pile and shape. Always prioritize the sewn-in care label when it differs.

• Pre-wash: Close the zipper, turn the jacket inside out, and remove loose dirt. Spot treat stains immediately with a mild detergent and a gentle blotting motion.
• Hand wash (recommended): Gently hand wash in cold water (max 30°C / 86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not wring—press water out gently.
• Machine wash (if label permits): Use a mesh laundry bag, inside out, gentle/delicate cycle, cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners—they can flatten the pile.
• Drying: Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry—high heat can mat the shaggy yarn and damage fibers.
• Ironing/steaming: Avoid ironing the pile. Steam lightly from the inside or use a cool iron on the reverse with a cloth if absolutely necessary.
• Professional cleaning: For garments containing delicate natural fibers (wool, mohair, alpaca) or when the label recommends, use professional dry cleaning.
• Pilling & fluff care: Remove pills gently with a fabric shaver or sweater comb. Use a soft-bristle clothes brush to revive surface texture—work carefully to avoid pulling yarn.
• Storage: Fold and store in a breathable container. Avoid long-term hanging to prevent shoulder stretch. Use natural moth deterrents (cedar, lavender) for natural-fiber pieces.
• Zipper maintenance: Keep zippers closed during washing and storage. If a zipper sticks, lubricate lightly with beeswax or a zipper-specific lubricant.

Style Tips

Outfit ideas and styling notes to get the most from the shaggy knit jacket:

• Weekend casual: Zip over a white tee or lightweight sweater, add straight-leg jeans and white sneakers for a relaxed, textured look.
• Layered warmth: Wear over a slim hoodie or turtleneck and pair with tapered trousers—keeps upper volume balanced with streamlined bottoms.
• Smart-casual: Combine with tailored chinos or a midi skirt and ankle boots; keep accessories minimal so the jacket remains the focal point.
• Evening up-style: Layer over a slip dress and add heeled ankle boots; cinch with a slim belt for a defined waist and elevated silhouette.
• Color pairings: Neutral jackets (cream, beige, grey) pair well with denim and black; bold colors work best with muted bases to avoid visual overload.
• Accessories: Long necklaces or simple hoops and a structured crossbody keep the outfit polished without competing with the jacket’s texture.
• Silhouette tip: Because shaggy yarn adds visual bulk, balance it with fitted or tapered bottoms to maintain a flattering silhouette.
