Zip-Up Suede Jacket | Brown / S 100100678593975

How to measure the Zip‑Up Suede Jacket

For the most accurate results, measure the jacket laid flat on a smooth surface with the zipper closed. Use a soft tape measure. When a measurement is given "flat", double it to get the full circumference (flat × 2 = circumference). 1 in = 2.54 cm.

1. Chest (pit to pit) — Measure straight across the front from one armpit seam to the other, about 1 cm below the armhole. Multiply this flat measurement by 2 for chest circumference.
2. Shoulder width — Measure across the back from the outside edge of one shoulder seam to the other.
3. Sleeve length — Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. (If your brand uses center‑back sleeve length instead, measure from the center back at the base of the collar to the end of the cuff.)
4. Back length — Measure from the base of the collar (center back seam) straight down to the hem.
5. Hem width — Measure across the bottom hem from seam to seam and double for circumference.
6. Neck opening — Measure the inside collar circumference or, laid flat, measure collar opening across and multiply by 2.

Tip: compare these measurements to a jacket you already own for fit reference. If you like to layer bulky sweaters underneath, add about 3–6 cm (1–2.5 in) extra ease at the chest and shoulders.

Materials

Typical construction for a zip‑up suede jacket:

• Outer: Suede—either genuine split leather (lamb/calf split) or high‑quality faux/micro‑suede (polyester or microfiber). Genuine suede has a natural nap and will develop a soft patina; faux suede is more consistent in color and often easier to care for.
• Lining: Smooth woven lining (commonly 100% polyester or a viscose blend) for comfort and ease of wearing.
• Interfacing/insulation: Light polyester or cotton interlinings to maintain shape where required (collar, front placket).
• Hardware: Metal zip (brass, nickel or gunmetal finish) and metal snap/studs where applicable.
• Trims: Leather or fabric bindings, rib cuffs or hem depending on the design.

Always check the product label or product page for the exact composition for this SKU (e.g., "100% suede leather" vs "100% polyester (faux suede)").

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Suede needs special care to maintain its texture and color. Follow these do's and don'ts:

• Before first wear: Apply a high‑quality suede protector spray evenly in a well‑ventilated area—test on an inconspicuous spot first.
• Daily care: Gently brush the nap with a suede brush (soft brass or rubber brush) in one direction to remove dust and revive the nap.
• Spot cleaning: For dry marks, use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser, then brush. For oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain overnight to absorb oil, then brush away powder. For stubborn or wet stains, dab (do not rub) with a clean cloth and let air dry—avoid water saturation.
• Avoid: Machine washing, tumble drying, ironing, bleach, and exposing to direct heat or prolonged sunlight (may fade or stiffen suede).
• If it gets wet: Blot excess moisture with a clean towel, stuff the jacket with paper to keep shape, and air dry away from heat. Once dry, restore nap with a suede brush.
• Professional care: For heavy soiling, oil stains, or full cleaning, use a specialist leather/suede cleaner—do not attempt aggressive home treatments on genuine suede.
• Storage: Hang on a wide padded hanger in a cool, dry place inside a breathable garment bag (cotton). Avoid plastic covers which trap moisture.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Zip up over a white tee and slim jeans, finish with leather sneakers or ankle boots for an effortless look.
• Smart casual: Layer over a lightweight knit or button‑down shirt with chinos or tailored jeans and Chelsea boots.
• Evening out: Wear over a silk blouse or fitted knit dress with heeled boots or loafers and delicate jewelry to elevate the suede texture.
• Layering: For added warmth, wear a thin hoodie or thin puffer vest underneath—choose one size up if you expect to layer heavy knits.
• Color pairings: Tan/camel suede looks great with navy, cream, olive and denim; black suede pairs well with greys, burgundy and crisp whites.
• Accessories: Coordinate metal tones (zipper/necklace) and add a textured scarf for contrast—the nap of suede plays well with knits and wool.
