YMI Faux Layered Double-Zipper Jacket with Fuzzy Hood | Camel / S 100100998401940

How to measure this jacket

Measure the jacket laid flat on a smooth surface. Zip it up and smooth out wrinkles before measuring. Take measurements in inches (cm) and record garment dimensions to compare with your body measurements.

1. Chest (Bust) — Measure across the front 1" (2.5 cm) below the armhole from side seam to side seam. Double that number for the full chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width — Measure straight across the back from the outside edge of one shoulder seam to the outside edge of the opposite shoulder seam. If the jacket has raglan sleeves, measure across the highest point of the back from armhole edge to armhole edge.
3. Sleeve length — With the sleeve laid flat, measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan or seam-less shoulders, measure from the center back base of the neck along the top of the shoulder to the cuff for a consistent reference.
4. Center back length — Measure from the base of the collar at center back straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width (bottom) — Measure across the bottom edge from side seam to side seam and double for the full hem circumference.
6. Hood depth (optional) — Measure along the center seam of the hood from where it attaches at the collar to the front edge.
7. Zippers & openings — Measure zipper lengths (outer and inner if double zippers) from top stop to bottom stop so customers know coverage and where the jacket sits when fully zipped.

How to measure your body for the best fit

• Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest with the tape parallel to the floor.
• Shoulder: Measure across your back from the outer edge of one shoulder bone to the other.
• Sleeve: With a slightly bent elbow, measure from the top of your shoulder down to your wrist for comfortable sleeve length.
• Torso length: Measure from the base of your neck (center back) down to where you want the jacket hem to sit.

Tip: Allow about 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) extra chest circumference over your body measurement for comfortable layering. Always compare body measurements to garment measurements for the most accurate fit.

Materials & construction

Typical materials for this style (verify the garment tag for exact fiber content):

• Shell: Polyester or polyester-blend (commonly used for faux-suede, faux-leather, or woven outer layers).
• Lining: Polyester knit or taffeta for easy on/off and added comfort.
• Hood / fuzzy trim: Faux fur or plush fleece (usually polyester or acrylic fibers) for softness and warmth.
• Insulation (if present): Polyester batting or fiberfill for warmth without weight.
• Hardware: Metal or nylon-coil double zippers and metal/plastic zipper pulls.
• Trims: Ribbed cuffs or faux-leather accents are typically polyester/spandex blends.

Note: Polyester-based fabrics are durable and often machine-washable, while faux fur requires gentler handling to maintain loft. Always follow the care label for definitive fiber and care details.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

Always follow the garment's care label first. The following are general recommendations for faux materials and fuzzy hoods:

1. Prep: Close zippers and fasten snaps. Turn the jacket inside out to help protect the outer surface and hardware.
2. Spot-clean: Blot small stains gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid aggressive scrubbing on faux fur or textured finishes.
3. Machine wash (if permitted): Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water and a mild liquid detergent. Wash with like colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
4. Hand wash option: Use cold water and gentle detergent, agitate lightly, rinse thoroughly, and gently press out excess water—do not wring.
5. Drying: Air dry flat or hang in the shade. If the care label allows tumble drying, use low heat and include clean tennis balls to help maintain loft—avoid high heat which can damage synthetic fibers.
6. Faux fur care: After drying, gently brush with a wide-tooth comb or soft brush to restore fluff. Do not iron faux fur.
7. Storage: Hang on a shaped hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the hood or fur for long periods; use a breathable garment bag for long-term storage.
8. Repairs: Repair loose seams and replace damaged hardware promptly to extend the jacket’s life.

Test any cleaning method on a hidden area first. When in doubt, consult a professional cleaner experienced with synthetic fabrics and faux fur.

Style tips

• Zipped up, the jacket creates a cozy, streamlined look—perfect for chilly days. Use the double zippers to adjust fit and ventilation.
• For a casual outfit, layer over a chunky knit sweater, pair with skinny jeans and ankle boots.
• Create a sporty look with joggers or leggings and clean white sneakers.
• To elevate the outfit, wear over a fitted mock-neck top and dark denim with heeled booties.
• Let the fuzzy hood be the focal point—keep accessories minimal around the neckline to avoid clutter.
• Try half-zipping (zip the inner zipper and leave the outer one open) to achieve a layered, waist-defined silhouette without bulk at the neck.
• Belt the jacket at the waist while wearing it open to create instant shape and a more tailored look.
• Coordinate colors with scarves, hats, or boots—neutrals work well as a base and let bright accessories pop.
