Zip-Up Drawstring Hooded Jacket | Cloudy Blue / S 100100254273672

Overview

A versatile zip-up hooded jacket with an adjustable drawstring — designed for everyday wear, travel and layering. Built to combine the easy-care resilience of modern fibers with the comfort of natural yarns, this jacket offers a casual, slightly relaxed silhouette that works from errands to light outdoor activity. It’s the kind of outer layer you reach for when you want comfort, a tidy finish and low maintenance.

Fabric — what this blend gives you

The shell is a blend of synthetic and natural fibers chosen to balance durability, shape retention and soft hand-feel. The synthetic component contributes strength, quick drying and resistance to wrinkling and shrinking. The natural component improves breathability, softness against the skin and easy comfort.

Detailed material notes

• Synthetic fibers: add durability, colorfastness and structural stability. They help the jacket keep its shape after repeated wear and wash cycles and make it easy to care for.
• Cotton fibers: increase comfort, absorbency and breathability. They reduce the cool/artificial feel of a fully synthetic fabric and make the jacket feel softer next to skin.
• Environmental & performance considerations: blends can shed microfibers when washed — using a laundry bag and low-temperature washes reduces that. The fabric is not a technical waterproof membrane, but it handles light moisture and dries quicker than pure cotton.

Fabric advantages — pros and cons

How to measure the jacket (garment measurements)

Lay the jacket flat on a smooth surface and measure with a flexible tape measure. Follow these steps to capture the key garment dimensions used to choose the right size.

• Chest/Bust (body circumference): with the jacket zipped, measure straight across from armpit seam to armpit seam. Double that number for the full circumference.
• Front length: measure from the high point of the shoulder (where collar meets shoulder seam) straight down to the hem.
• Sleeve length: measure from the shoulder seam (or center back neck for center-back measurements) to the end of the cuff, following the sleeve curve.
• Shoulder width: measure from one shoulder seam across the back to the other shoulder seam.
• Hem opening: measure straight across the bottom opening and double for circumference.

Record measurements in inches or centimeters. If you need to convert: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.

How to measure yourself for the best fit

Measure over a thin layer (a T-shirt) while standing relaxed with arms at your sides. Use a soft tape measure and keep it level and comfortably snug, not tight.

• Chest/Bust: measure around the fullest part of your chest, across the shoulder blades and under the arms.
• Upper arm: measure around fullest part of the bicep if you plan to wear bulky layers underneath.
• Arm length: measure from the shoulder point to the wrist bone for sleeve fit.
• Torso length: measure from the high point of shoulder (near the neck) to where you want the jacket hem to sit.

Compare your body measurements with the garment measurements. For a comfortable everyday fit, allow 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) of ease at the chest. For layering with heavier sweaters, allow 4–8 inches (10–20 cm).

Fit notes & model information

This style is intended as a casual, relaxed layering piece rather than a slim technical shell. If you prefer a tailored silhouette, consider selecting the next smaller size based on your chest measurement and desired ease. If you like a roomy, layered look, choose according to the recommended ease above.

If model photos are available on the product page, check the image caption for the model’s height and the size they are wearing — that is the most accurate visual reference for how this jacket will hang on different body types.

Color & styling — how to combine this jacket

Neutral shades (black, gray, navy, olive, beige) are the most versatile: pair them with denim, chinos or leggings for a polished casual look. Brighter colors or pastels create a clean focal point when matched with muted bottoms.

Outfit ideas

• Weekend casual: T‑shirt, slim jeans and low‑top sneakers.
• Active/Errand day: Lightweight tee, joggers or leggings, and trainers.
• Layered commute: Shirt or thin sweater underneath, tapered pants and ankle boots.
• Smart-casual: Swap tee for a crisp button-down, wear with chinos and clean leather sneakers.
• Feminine twist: Throw over a midi dress and add ankle boots for an urban layered look.

Style & use

This jacket sits in the athleisure/casual-sporty category: functional but clean in finish, suitable for everyday city life, light outdoor activity and travel. The drawstring hood adds practical protection and an adjustable silhouette, while the zip front makes it easy to put on or remove for temperature control.

Seasonality — when to wear it

Ideal as a transitional layer for spring and fall and for cooler summer evenings. In mild winter climates it can serve as an outer layer; in colder regions use it as a midlayer beneath a heavier coat. Because it dries relatively quickly it’s a good travel companion for mixed-weather destinations.

Care tips & quick maintenance

• Zip up and turn the jacket inside out before washing to reduce abrasion and protect trims.
• Use cool or lukewarm water and a mild detergent to preserve color and fiber integrity.
• Avoid chlorine bleach. Use oxygen-based spot removers for stains instead.
• Remove promptly from the washer and either tumble-dry on low or hang to finish drying to reduce wrinkles.
• To minimize pilling, wash with similar fabrics and avoid heavy friction in the dryer; use a fabric shaver for small pills.

Care guide — keep it looking great longer

1. Before the first wash, close zippers and cords; spot-treat stains gently.
2. Wash with similar colors on a gentle cycle; choose a short spin to limit fiber stress.
3. Place the jacket in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection if you wash frequently.
4. Low-heat tumble drying is acceptable, but hang-drying prevents extra wear and saves energy.
5. If ironing is needed, use a low setting and a pressing cloth to avoid shine; steam is often enough to smooth wrinkles.
6. Store folded or hung on a wide-shoulder hanger in a cool, dry place; avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
